Is that myth Steel kept referring to well known? I had to look it up. It seemed to assume you'd already have culturally ingrained knowledge of this steel driver guy, but I guess the story never really left the states. edit: in the Comixology version I read the shirt looks blue sometimes    but then, not  ee: Here's a screenshot Comicvine had.  Which definitely makes it look like there's been a partial correction in the digital comic. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 11:45 on Dec 8, 2011 |

COUNTIN THE BILLIES posted:Picked up All-Star Superman TPBs today and loving them. Any ideas where I should go after these? I know nothing about Superman besides the movies and cartoon show. The current Action Comics monthly is written by the same guy, so you might wanna try jumping on that. Joe Kelly and Doug Mahnke's Action Comics #775 is my favorite Superman story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What%27s_So_Funny_About_Truth,_Justice_%26_the_American_Way%3F

TwoPair posted:I like it, but... seriously? The Internet is Brainiac? Between that and "shutting down the internet" in Final Crisis, I'm pretty sure that Morrison is just gonna write the internet as whatever the hell he wants it to be. And I guess I should just learn to deal with silliness in my funnybooks, but it still irks me. If you haven't read Batman Inc 8, you have no idea.

That couldn't happen unless the pull the plug on the reboot and have everyone wake up from a dream back where we were. Remember he's starting out in Kryptonian DNA armor and would have to make a conscious decision to move on to cloth and red undies. Where would that come from? He'd have to see a photo of a turn of the century circus strong man and get inspired.

The famous Superman issue 'What's So Funny About Truth Justice and the American Way' and the series it leads to, Justice League Elite are $.99 on Comixology right now. Buy that first issue. The animated movie won't touch it.

Action Comics follows Superman's early years. It began a few months after his emergence, and is now placed at some point early in the Justice League's career about 'five years ago'. The 'Superman' book is contemporary stories, but it stinks. In the browser version of Comixology you can preview three pages of any comic once it's on sale, and the week before comics are published DC gives a number of sites short previews of a book each which are collected in the DC blog, ala http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2012/07/10/tuesday-roundup-july-10th You could preview pages from the issues in the first Action TPB then order it on Amazon if it looks promising.

Magic Love Hose posted:I would love to see Mark Waid writing Superman, but only if they gave him carte blanche to write the book the way he thinks he ought to. Didn't Perez say most of his job was rushing to edit his stories to keep in line with what world building Morry wasn't letting anyone in on? If that's the example, they could use some tighter control.

Crossover for Superman/Girl/Boy (and not Action) in #14s Features a grey skinned antagonist wearing a backwards 'S' symbol...  http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2012/08/10/announcing-hel-on-earth posted:This fall, there will be an electrifying crossover occurring in SUPERMAN, SUPERBOY and SUPERGIRL. Spanning across all the series’ #14 issues, “H’el on Earth” will put these super-beings into battle with the maniacal alien, H’el.    at the end Superman discovers the villain was talking in opposites and it was all a misunderstanding.

When was the last time comics used thought bubbles as prominently as Superman 13? It's cool he's trying something stylistically odd and maybe with appropriately retro style art to go with it'd word better, but boy is that weird to read. e: Maybe it's how they're so fluffy and placed all over. It's kinda Garfield-ish.

I'd prefer the whole Morrison one in one collection though. Not sure if they'd bother collecting 1-17. How long do they take after last issues to put out a collection?

In terms of what's going on in the comics he's a Kryptonian who shows up and claims he can restore Krypton. Supergirl is way into it, Superman isn't. He was a student of Supes dad and was sent out to (I think) find a habitable planet, got hosed up and scarred by space rays or something before finding Earth just now.

Mr Wind Up Bird posted:I'm going to out myself as a dumb retard baby here but I have no idea what happened in Action Comics this month, nor indeed many of the months prior. Just none of it made any sense to me at all. I was very fine hanging on to the loopdy loop until right this moment. All the 5D craziness has been rocking my poo poo the last few issues, the crazy angels being revealed as a manifestation of an other dimension harpoon attack and all that, but this is gonna require a clearer head than I have right now. Yowza.

It's just three issues. You can wait for whoever's next. He's probably one of the only people prepared to chuck an arc together in two months notice. If it's at all entertaining, then good on him. but... "Hector Hammond, or "Mindstorm," as he is soon going to be known" Why does Hector Hammond need a persona? The massive head psychic coma guy is a great, different villain. I haven't read today's Superman, but I love him as an antagonist.

At least there's nothing to really retcon unless they really, really need to reintroduce Mxyzptlk as a hardened buff badass. The Fifth Dimension is something that could totally be ignored for another 15 years till some young writer wants to honor Morrison. It'd probably be better that way. I hope Action ends up a place for authors telling their own stand-alone story arcs while 'Superman' is there to tow the universe.

Ugh. Superman is going into another crossover according to solicits. Psy-war with Superman and Superboy. I've actually not minded these last two issues with Hector Hammond (mainly in contrast to the H'ell stuff), but I was definitely not expecting a story with him to stretch out for months and months across a couple of books. Anyone read Justin Jordan's first issue of Superboy? Is it promising?

There should've been an electric blue suit one. e: One has the old checkerboard top
