For anyone wondering, no, that is not the right way to say "it's clobbering time" in French.

In the next issue one of the French character says "It's Bart Time" in French so whatever.

It looks like he's actively smashing through a barrier on the second page there, had the Corps put a protective forcefield around Earth or something?

Just the atmosphere. I'm sure it's not very accurate and just an excuse to write him hammered again, but

It's not all goof 'em ups. The series is about him learning to be Superman, so there's usually some morality crisis in there. Half of this issue was an argument with friends from his old life in Kansas visiting him in the city, and issue #2 was really dark with teen Clark trying to be a hero and seriously maiming people. e: With one issue left, it's definitely more bright, fun, touching or poignant than not.

What, she probably just assumed that... Wolverine can talk to their namesake too. I mean, it's an easy enough mistake to make. People think Spider-man can talk to spiders.

Teenage Fansub posted:Superman: American Alien #6 So, is this implying that the GL corps put a force field around Earth, but didn't extend it to the moon? If so, did they do this before or after the moon landing, or to put it another way, when is this supposed to take place? And third, I guess, Clark's pod didn't contain any information about his past, his family or his home planet like most versions of his origin?

If it was a forcefield, I'd imagine they open holes for when the natives pop out so they don't notice - it'd be more for protecting the natives from marauding arsehole aliens sneaking in. Probably started the policy after those goddamn Kryptonians started dumping their orphans there.

IIRC that is actually a thing from the Silver Age because it also happened to Hal when he was starting out as a Green Lantern.

Come to think of it, the Green Lanterns probably put a forcefield around most populated planets, because it seems that every other species in the galaxy is made up entirely of pirates.
