His whole life including wife is gone and his mum figure doesn't even recognise him. Being told to get on with your life in that context isn't terribly helpful

Bendis will be writing Action and Superman (which relaunches with a new #1) after a 6-issue Superman mini. Also moving his creator owned titles to DC. "And he is stating they will promote the books in a way that Marvel’s Icon did not." It's hard to promote comics that come out once a year (Powers) / never (Scarlet)

I'm not reading either so this is exciting for me and I fully intend to catch them both, but I can certainly understand being upset by the change.

I just find it really loving stupid when both of the big 2 roll out new #1s every 6 months or so for no good reason. Half the time they revert to the original numbering anyway. And I am not excited at all for Bendis to be writing Superman, especially after this "UP-HEAVING THE STATUS QUO! NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME!!" bullshit.

To be fair I think a lot of the big characters in DC could be really helped by an up-heaving of the status quo. Not like, Superman isn't married, Wonder Woman is pregnant, 'lets drive away our customers' thing, but there's some go-tos that these comics lean on WAY too much. It's mostly about their bad guys but sometimes their personal lives. Even in Rebirth, supposedly a reboot for some people, they have the same trend in bad guys. GL fights an evil interstellar group but finds out, whoa, it turns out the Lanterns screwed them over years ago, and now one of the GLs is threatening to quit. Teen Titans lead up to a fight with Trigon, and at some point Deathstroke decides they shouldn't be heroes.

I'm not excited because a) Superman is the most boring superhero to me and b) I don't think he's conducive to Bendis' writing style. Bendis is terrible at huge, worldwide level events, and is much better at street-level. I was hoping he'd get a Batman book, but I guess not. Still hoping maybe he'll get a small scale Gotham Central-esque side-book.

Guess we need to wait and hear what Tomasi has to say. I also hate new #1's but it's BENDIS. I also hope they just finish Powers and he moves to new creator owned stuff from there since it's been spinning it's wheels for years.

That's true. The dialogue will be loving fantastic. What I'd really like to see is a story where Bendis gets Lois back to work at the Planet and we just get awesome newsroom style intrigue. I'd probably buy the first five issues of that.

Let Bendis run his "giant teasers with no payoffs" circus on Superman/Action, but also give Tomasi/Gleason free reign over a series of wholesome Superdad & Family OGNs.

In the future all Superman comics will be a single image of Superman saying "The jokes on you. I've already won." They will sell like gangbusters because Americans will finally have a hero they can root for.
