Preview for Neal Adams' Coming of the Supermen #1 http://comicvine.gamespot.com/articles/exclusive-preview-superman-the-coming-of-the-super/1100-154939/       I love that he drew Lois straight out of the eighties. Cool brooch. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Feb 20, 2016 |

I thought the multiple artists really hurt Action Comics this month. Continuity of action seemed confusing in spots because of it, one guy gave Clark a black shirt, Lee was wearing yellow firefighter duds in Kuder's pages and not in someone else's. Kuder did get some big, nice spreads, but it would've been good for the whole thing to be a showcase for him on their last issue.

Teenage Fansub posted:Preview for Neal Adams' Coming of the Supermen #1 I've read this and it felt like a pretty hyper version of the 90s Super-books, filled with running plots, but crazier and with that awesome Adams art. It made me wish I liked Henry Cavill's Superman more because the dude looks drawn by Neal Adams.

So the current "Superman is dying" plotline seems to be covering multiple comic books. I really only read American Alien and Batman/Superman and Justice League, but goddamn am I lost on what the gently caress is going on. What other comics are tying into this? Action Comics is I see, but I'm sure I'm missing a bunch.

And that's fine and good, but I mean, I'm trying to figure out where the stuff with ARGUS capturing him and the like took place, because I don't remember that happening in Batman-Superman or Justice League (which dealt/is dealing with Rao).

He's been depowered since Action Comics #41 and just used 'kryptonite chemotherapy' to kill his energy sucked cells and become full-Superman again, but guess what? That wasn't the smartest idea. I wouldn't go back and read that de-powered Superman stuff, even though the first few Action Comics issues were real nice things (see Clark digging on some corn in my avatar.) There were pay offs to earlier great Greg Pak Action stuff, but it ended up very lame. Lois and Clark is the thing you might wanna read if you feel like you're gonna follow this story into Rebirth Superman stuff. It's a pretty nice comic, even if you aren't just going in for being goo-goo-ga-ga over old continuity Superman, though his beard is sweet.

You mean Justice League America? In regular JL he's Negative Superman birthed from the Firepits of Apokolips!  ARGUS captured Superman's friends and loved ones in Superman/Wonder Woman. It ended up being the machination of Vandal Savage, as was everything else about him losing his powers. It was also a bad storyline.

I'm all caught up on Neal Adams' The Coming of the Supermen. Classic art style and bananas plot. Reads a lot like Batman: Odyssey, but more coherent. A fun Superman book. Really enjoying American Alien, too. The changing art styles are great - some I like more than others - but the story is so engaging. Best Superman plot I can remember in recent years. Glad I picked this one up.

The return of Post-Crisis Superman as the main Superman kind of makes me want to pick up the books again. Until the Birthright retcon I used to own a copy of every issue of his run from his 1986 introduction on. I even powered through the Electric Superman arc. But I haven't really followed the main continuity since Birthright and don't really want to try and jump into his return not having a single clue what's going on in the new continuity. Doesn't he have his own series wearing a black suit or something? Is that an ok place to begin?

Post-Crisis Superman is in Superman: Lois and Clark, so that's probably a good place to jump in. I think they're six or seven issues in, so you should be able to find copies easily enough. Adventures of Superman 451 was my first comic book, and that version of Superman has been my favourite ever since. The New 52 version was OK, but I like Superman being super...endless dark and gloomy stories hasn't made me like the character more, so I hope Rebirth proves a better tack with the more loved versions of the DC Universe characters.

Superman: American Alien is out of continuity, but you should definitely read that too. To experience the best of New 52 Supes get the first trade of Grag Pak's run. I think that's the best and brightest the character's been written and drawn since All-Star https://www.amazon.com/Superman-Act...&s=books&sr=1-1

The plenitude of Superpeople has me hecka nostalgic for the late '90s Superman Family. It owned bones that it didn't matter if you were Superman, an angel, an engineer in robot suit with a gently caress-off big hammer, or a teen clone with tactile telekinesis powers—if you were willing to stand up for the little guy and do what's right, Superman was proud to call you his equal and was honored that you'd wear his family symbol across your chest. I thought it was the perfect kind of supporting family for Superman-as-adopted-immigrant and Superman-who-cares-about-your-heart-not-your-skin/powers/clonal genome/fiery malektoplasm/hammer.

Yeah, actually, I do miss that. I liked the idea of Superman's family being thematic instead of genetic.

I read the total opposite. Old Superman saw him turned to dust and is still completely confident in him popping right back out. The issue is pretty much telling you not to worry about it. e: Unless the comic hard cuts to six months later and "Guess not." Which would be great.

I think the assumption there is that if Superman begins by assuming with utter confidence that Superman is going to be back, it means Superman is going to having his feelings challenged by being proven wrong, because it's pretty rare for someone to be sure someone is going to come back from the dead and be proven right without some sort of conflict or trial.

He'll either come back, but with different powers/as an energy being and take a new superhero name; or he won't come back to life, but Dad Superman will get his memories and thereafter be treated as Real Superman That I Know by any character who was familiar with either Superman.

Well, there was a process, but Tomasi and Gleason's last project...  One of the life light things is definitely flying off to make someone a new Clark Kent right away. The first Action Comics issue says there's a separate Clark around. If it hits someone who's not a murderer this time, we might more or less have the character back.

Alrighty, if I'm intrigued enough by the Rebirth issue to want to maybe pick up ONE (1) of the core Superman books, should I be looking at Action or Superman? I like Lex's costume design, but the stuff with Bearded Superman and Lana was the thing that really caught my attention from the one shot, so... thoughts, goons?

It's not an easy question before the comics are out. Superman seems like it'll contain more of the perspective of his family, raising Superboy and such. The team previously worked on Batman and Robin, which did amazingly with that father/son dynamic. Here's an interview with what they're going for: http://www.newsarama.com/29499-rebirth-s-superman-to-explore-father-son-dynamic.html Superman's family life pre-outting was the subject of the miniseries 'Lois and Clark'. Check that out to see if you care. It helps explain what his situation in the world is. Action Comics is opening with Doomsday, so is probably going to be more action orientated. We don't have much of an idea what it's going for. Try both first issues  Lana has appeared as a superhero on the cover of Superwoman, so that's where she'll probably live most of the time. If you want to read some great comics with Lana being an action hero, pick up this trade http://www.amazon.com/Superman-Acti...ics+pak+beneath Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Jun 2, 2016 |
