I have a feeling that this shop owner was just waiting for the spark to light his powder keg. God drat liberals taking away our Superman. I blame Obama for turning Superman into a socialist. What's he doing saving those poor people, when he should be looking out for the job providers that pay their too high taxes, and can afford insurance that covers runaway trains and giant robots? The rocket landed in Kansas, not Soviet Russia, so take your commie Superman elsewhere.

Magic Love Hose posted:On the subject of Christianity and Superman, I grok a great deal of what Chris Bird says here. That's kind of funny because super heroes ruined religion for me as a child. Why would I bother with Jesus when I had Superman? It was the same with politics and Captain America. I thought Cap was America and America was him. I was in for quite the rude awakening.

Bob Quixote posted:Well Supermans modern costume isn't really iconic or original, its just based on what circus acrobats and weightlifters wore back in the 30's. You squint, and it looks kind of like armor. And I find it weird I never noticed the design on classic Supes boots before. Body armor seems to be the in thing. I think it helps make things more "believable". Tights might look like they would tear easily, but armor looks like it can stand up to the levels of punishment a super hero would endure. Makes them look like soldiers. Those aren't my personal feelings, but I understand the thinking behind the design choices.

Only clues I know of were dropped in Doogz interview with Grant. The Legion of Super Heroes and black president Superman will be involved in Action Comics.

He's black Iron Man, but personality wise he couldn't be more different than Tony Stark. Anybody else feel like Action Comics would make a great screenplay for a Superman movie?

I think the white shirt just shows that it's not about the colors, but the symbol. He might wear a red shirt or a green shirt before he decides the official look for Superman. Can't wait for the interlude. I bet this is all the Superbama and Legion of Super Heroes stuff Grant teased Doogz with.

Krypto looked like a bad rear end. Spending 20+ years in the phantom zone will turn him into a beast. Krypto good boy.

The first four issues had a very Ultimate Spider-Man sort of tone. Hopefully this swerve won't throw off many of the more casual readers. Issue six was the kind of book that earns me creepy avatars.

Wade Wilson posted:I saw a commercial for Smallville once that looked like it had a ridiculous low-budget version of Dr. Fate in it (as in, low budget TV show CG Dr. Fate, complete with helmet and cape and crazy pink lasers) and the Justice League tower, did that ever actually happen in the show or am I misremembering it? Absolute Justice guest starred Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and Stargirl. You also get some glimpses of the rest of the JSA. Pretty drat fun. Also, the Geoff Johns penned episode Legion was good. I've only seen about a half dozen episodes, but they've all been fairly entertaining. And I give the show credit that my sixty-something year old uncle with a PHD finally had something to talk about with this twenty-something slacker nephew.

That's a hell of a nit to pick. Of all the things in Action Comics, you draw the line at the electronic storage of all human knowledge becoming self aware and taking over? I like it better than something like Skynet, because Skynet was created as military AI, while Brainiac is more of a social construct. He wasn't made for war, he was made for the accumulation of knowledge. EDIT: Krangdar's theory is probably more accurate. Either way, this is some good stuff.

What you called the Brainiac ship was the vessel that brought Kal-El to Earth as a baby.

I think Superman only uses his kryptonian armor for the big fights, and uses his t-shirt and jeans combo for the more down to Earth problems. I think showing Superman in regular clothes when he takes on murderers and such is much more impactful than a guy in tights or armor.

Magic Love Hose posted:So the League has been working together for five years and "they don't know a thing about Superman." Don't think about the five year gap, and the Superman book, and this version of Superman is amazing between Action and Justice League. It's really refreshing. Hal/Tim Roth is making me wonder who Rags' Superman is modeled after.

"He's observing. That's what a reporter does." He just doesn't command attention like he used to. He's perfectly fine with hanging back, and listening to the others work things out.

Yawgmoft posted:Does anyone know why they felt the need to kill off the Kents? They possibly thought it was an emotional crutch for the character. Not having parents to go home to helps with the feeling of alienation that Clark feels. This Superman doesn't really have the emotional support of close friends or family. I like that he's a little distant, but isn't a brooding loner.

Little Mac posted:Wait, why do we hate Max Landis? Cause doogz told us to. And he bought an account so he could advertise his Drunk Comic Book History: The Robins video while he was still in college. That, his Knightfall, and Death and Return of Superman videos were all pretty funny, so I don't have much bad to say about him. He does seem he'd be a insufferable douche in person though.

If that's the case, then perhaps Superman will get some help from Jor-El, and they'll stop the invasion of Krypton in the past as well.

Read the latest issue of Action Comics at a diner, and wrote my name backwards on my cellphone. Loved all the silver age callbacks. It's sad we won't see any more of Morrison's Superman besides whatever will be in Multiversity.

It was volume five of Superman/Batman titled "The Enemies Among Us". Plastic Man was in the story because Van Sciver really wanted to draw Plastic Man. End of the arc spoiler: Funny that Mxy was mentioned in the same post, because the evil mastermind in the above story was Martian Manhunter's personal extra dimensional trickster named Zook. Google "Martian Manhunter Zook" to see him. "Zook" just gives you random bullshit. EDIT: The above mastermind was trying to turn all the aliens on Earth against the planet. Even Hal and Kilowog were pulled into it. Open Marriage Night fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Apr 5, 2013 |

I'm pretty sure it was from Morrison's post All Star Superman interview called "All Star Memories" on CBR. It's in twelve parts, so you'll have to do some digging. I'll look this afternoon if it isn't found by then.

DStecks posted:How did Luthor lose his left eyebrow in that sequence? On one page it's gone, then it's just suddenly missing. Also, Luthor giving himself the "Superman Swoosh" was a nice touch I only caught on second reading. I think it's alluded to when he's talking about testing the sonic drill, or it could just be that the accident that made him bald also made him lose his eyebrows. And I believe he wipes his forehead with his sleeve, and it accidently wipes away his drawn on eyebrow. Gave my friend my copy of rear end, and I've been meaning to buy the collected edition. EDIT: Since we're sharing favorite parts: The whole Superwoman issue is my favorite, and the kiss on the moon was my favorite moment. Not just romance, but super romance.

Chaos Hippy posted:My experience with Landis doesn't extend beyond his Death of Superman video, of which I only watched a small portion before being convinced that he doesn't get Superman. So not holding out the highest of hopes there, but my opinion isn't based on much. Dude was a goon in college, and posted his Robins and Knightfall videos here in BSS. They were fairly funny at the time.
