I'mma consult my crystal ball and say one of those life lights that zoomed outta Nu-Soup is gonna hit a not-murderer who can process the memories and somehow not be on fire, and the separate Clark we hear about in the Action Comics solicit will more or less be our dude, but staying in the civilian persona and letting old Clark be the hero. Sorry for whoever got their life taken over. It's probably a terminal patient or something. Hooray!

No, it's a good comic and I don't really have an opinion on Max Landis other than he's kind of annoying in interviews.

If you read the comic you do as superman is basically Max, as that is the only protagonist he can write. Man gently caress that lovely comic.

I always felt Geoff Johns Superman run was pretty ok. Superman and the LOSH, Brainiac, Legion of 3 Worlds and about half of New Krypton were good attempts at reaching into the Superman Mythos toybox and redoing some of those concepts.

Though yeah Chronicle was decent. he wrote a story with the director, and then did the screenplay based on the story so there was still someone else there filtering it really if you want pure unfiltered landis and hate yourself you want to find Shocker: Legit. it has the not inherently awful premise of "what if Shocker wanted to be a hero for a change, and his best buddy Rhino tagged along" and quickly devolves into "even reed richards hasn't had this idea" and shocker loving black cat edit gently caress it here you go choke on it http://forgotten.faithweb.com/MaxLandis/legit00.htm

We only moved 44 out of 50 ordered copies of PR #0 and that had all those covers ad 3 months to move. DCUR #1 is going to end up as our #1 best selling book of the year.

DCUR #1 is going to end up as our #1 best selling book of the year. i moved a metric fuckload of those covers. sold out of all of the first print, which was substantial, all of the second, which was slightly less so, and most if not all of the third which was about the same size as the second poo poo, we JUST got some more third prints in specifically to turn into back issues. i don't think we even have any on ccl right now edit apparently we have the third print of 0 on ccl rn, the ones we got in the other day at the mall must have just been for us because ???? (probably we got shorted earlier and diamond is retarded)

Imagine my surprise years later when I learned who wrote it. It's the fanfic where Shocker explodes Bullseye's testicles with his vibro-gauntlets. In his defence, I suppose he must have been about 16-17 when he wrote it.
