It's actually pizza sauce. Ma was never very good at teaching Clark to be neat in the kitchen.

Isn't Batman/Superman the fourth tier title? Superman/WW got included in the Doomed thing, but S/B never 'matters', barring it being where they brought Supergirl back like 10 years ago.

Hell, who says it was even him doing something wrong. There's plenty of scenarios where you could have him doing the right thing, and getting arrested for his trouble. It can even lead into one reason why he hides his identity and maybe even why he's a journalist, as he learns to question authority and not just accept things at face value. Edit: ^^ Who says it's his blood?

Mxy's the villain in the most famous Superman story of all.

SirDan3k posted:I'd say Mongul is one of those cases where the villain started out in one rouges gallery and ended up in the other. I dunno. His appearance in Reign of the Supermen and For The Man Who Has Everything is more than most characters in that vein have for their original opponent. Kingpin doesn't really have any 'classic' Spider-Man stories, but tons of Daredevil ones, for instance. I'm a casual GL and Superman fan, and I know him far more as the latter's enemy because of those stories.

My touchstone for Mxy, weirdly enough, is that Supergirl in the 8th grade miniseries where he implies he's the reason Krypton blew up.

Yeah, the first year or so is a lot better than it sounded when they were hyping it, they pushed the 'Kara's so ALIEN' angle, making it sound like she was going to be some cold, distant being looking down on the puny humans, when it was pretty much the opposite. She's a teenage girl a trillion miles from home, the thing she was sent to do she doesn't need to do anymore, the baby cousin she was supposed to look out for is replaced by a grown dude that likes these aliens more than her, no-one speaks her language, she doesn't understand the culture or customs and she has these weird powers she can barely control. And she reacts exactly like you'd expect, panics and lashes out.

Martha being a vet sounds like something that should've been the case forever, but I think I might be conflating any number of wholesome rural families in fiction where that's the job for the mother.

She was a state senator I believe. By the end, I mean. She started as a homemaker/farmer, yes.

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?

Maybe he only read that one fill-in issue G Willow Wilson did? Because that one was real good.

Welp, Action is certainly the weaker of the two main titles thus far. I'm still gonna stick with both for a month or two, see what shakes out, but Clark and Lois as slightly dorky parents, with super-stuff at the periphery and li'l Superboy freaking out about his powers is much more engaging than the, admittedly funny for the wrong reasons, adventures of rear end in a top hat SUPERMAN, the man who invades personal space to take things that don't belong to him and then claims the other person started the fight when he's pushed away! Like, I have to assume Jurgens is writing Superman as a dick on purpose, because otherwise that's so tone-deaf it's amazing.

Chaos Hippy posted:Are we reading the same Action Comics? I mean, yeah, Superman's kind of being a dick to Luthor, but if there's one person that Superman can understandably be an rear end in a top hat to, it's Luthor. Other than that, he's just been fighting Doomsday for the last four issues. And I posted that after, I believe, one issue had come out. (And yes, Clark has reasons to distrust Lex, but trying to rip a possession away from someone then going "I KNEW YOU'D ATTACK ME!" when they defend themselves is pretty rear end in a top hat-ish) Plus Action is still pretty bad.
