The Superman Thread

Occasionally, I do posts on my favorite Superman stories from the Silver Age that haven’t yet been digitized. Here are the links:

The first two are pretty short. The third is the longest, but got the most reads. No pressure on reading any of them, though!

Noted! I didn’t see it on the DC homepage when I was writing the post Tuesday morning, so I’ll edit it in.

Thanks for the 411. :+1:t2:

I thought there were parts of the Annual which were fun, even if I have not been reading the concurrent stuff, I had some ideas of what the on-going plot threads were. The main story is a bit weak in other parts and while I conceptually liked the idea of different artists for the different Daily Planet staff reporters, none of the artists really got a script that gave them much to work with, save for the Livewire/Parasite prison showdown.

I had forgotten about Red Cloud and I think DC would be better off forgetting about most of Bendis’ regrettable OCs.

As I mentioned before, I’m trade waiting on Lost and it’s going down the pile below everything else, including re-reads.

We have a new teaser trailer for episode 7 of The Best Superhero Cartoon In The Universe after the other one, this one definitely has what would appear to be spoilers - fun spoilers but spoilers nonetheless - I spoilered the trailer not because the headline is a spoiler but the image ‘thumbnail’ itself will be:

EDIT: and we have a VERY spoilerrific clip from last night episode of The Best Superhero Cartoon In The Universe which I am blocking off the thumbnail to since it’s an image we’ve seen before:

OH, and Episode 4 is now free on the Adult Swim site I posted earlier, above, for the bargain hunters who don’t want to wait for it to drop fully on HBO Max to get a month’s subscription, or who have already used up their free trial.

I’ve got it playing in the background right now just so Adult Swim counts it as an eyeball. Even though we have a nebulous second season already ordered, I figure it doesn’t hurt. And it’s not like it costs me extra internet!

The promo trailer for Episode 8 of The Best Superhero Cartoon In The Universe has a minor spoiler for episode 6 (and, to an extent, of course, 7, however, the title of the episode feels like a spoiler (when you go to the YT page for the Adult Swim channel) but what can you do:
