Hot drat, is that Brainiac at the end there? Hints of Metallo too. And John Irons, who is always awesome.


I think all of these things are true. Look at the markings on the ship. Its that triangle thing Braniac has.

I don't want Morrison to stop writing Superman. Ever.

But even Clark isn't mopey in Superman #1. He's still idealistic and cocky as far as I can tell.

Yeah he's only mopey because Lois isn't interested in him. He's very natural in Supes mode. Which is an interesting change from how writers usually approach him: Clark is who he is, Superman is what he does. Here it seems like being Superman is when he feels the most comfortable.

I wonder how hard it is to kill a Kryptonian so that they can't be brought back?

Huh? He obviously wasn't fighting back, he's Superman. You don't even have to read the issue to understand Superman isn't going to brawl with Supergirl like she's Doomsday. Do people really care about "power levels" like that means something in the year 2011?

I don't view it as power levels, I view it as "% chance of saving the day." Guest-starring? 100%. Are Superman? 100%. Are Batman? 95%. In Gotham, are Batman? 200%. Because in Gotham Batman saves the day twice each time he saves the day*.

*Except when he fucks up royally and a Robin dies.

Seriously, even if the rest of the 52 books were meh-terrible, it would all be worth it for this run of Action Comics.

I'm still looking for clues as to the next giant megaplot Morrison's got up his sleeve. I can't find any....

I guess if we're a club, I could be the treasurer.
