bobkatt013 posted:This whole series is just a long con to reboot the Legion again. I'm really getting sick of how DC seems to always be taking Superman off the table. He was near death during Trinity War, disappeared for Forever Evil and now it seems he's gone again for Future's End. That is, when he's not being mutated into Doomsday or whatever the gently caress is going on in his books. I can't remember the last time outside of his own series where Superman took a leading role without being nerfed in some way. Even in that Heman crossover he gets killed and shunted to some other dimension. They're really doing a horrible job of showing why he's the number one hero on the planet. Greg Pak is doing his best but I imagine he feels like a salmon swimming upstream in a river of poo poo.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:That implication was there since 'The Killing Joke' isn't it? I don't remember nothing giving credence to that on DOTF. Argh. So we have series where: 1) Superman goes evil, becomes a minion of Darkseid and destroys the world to be replaced (although it's cool DC is doing their version of Miles Morales from this) 2) Superman goes evil on his own and conquers the planet; 3) Superman turns into an evil spider robot thing and gets replaced by a masked version; 4) Superman is an arrogant rear end in a top hat (JL3000); And now 5) Superman gets mutated into SuperDoomsday This is all coming on the heels of Superman being MIA in Forever Evil for close to a year. It's not a good time to be a Superman fan I guess  Edit - I'm reading Superboy. Wolfman's run was horrible but Kuder is off to a really promising start. I'd recommend picking it up.

Superboy is being cancelled? Well I guess we know that Jon doesn't get healed up and probably dies now. Which isn't that bad since he's a murdering psychopath. I'd normally be upset about the cancellation but they've run the character so thoroughly into the ground that I think it's basically impossible to recover at this point. I.....I think I'm done with DC comics now. Finally.

Unmature posted:Wait, they need this after three years? I haven't been following New52, how colossally have they hosed this up already? I think it's more of a situation where they hosed themselves up right out of the launch gate.

Can someone explain to me exactly how Clark was able to neutralize the Doomsday virus? Was it just because there was no kryptonite in the air? If so, why didn't he do that in the first place?

I just read the Will Pfeifer interview on Newsarama about the Teen Titan, Power Girl and Superboy. Glad to see Superboy hasn't been forgotten, hopefully he'll make the character engaging again although it sounds like his reappearance will be a polarizing clusterfuck. Also the new Power Girl is super strong, super tough, super rich and the smartest girl in the entire room at any given time and not afraid to let it be known. Wow. Sounds like DC's version of Silk.

lotus circle posted:Comparing this new Power Girl to a character who literally has "spider pheromones" as a power is way too harsh. Oh, I didn't realize he had popped up there. I'll check it out. She just sounds like a perfect Mary-sue stereotype, but yeah I'll give it a shot.

I don't understand how anyone could like JRJR's art. If it weren't for the fact that I'm down to only collecting Action and Superman at this point from DC (which is a new low record for me) then I'd be dropping that book as well.

Teenage Fansub posted:Long cuffs. Or maybe it's just JRJR's lovely art. Even CBR calls out the crap quality of the art in this issue in their review, which surprised me. Art aside, I loved this book. Johns absolutely nails it and if I had my way I'd keep him and Pak writing Superman for years. Love that they kept the indestructible cape but gave him a regular costume again, and I have absolutely zero problems with his new superpower - it's a logical extension of his current powerset and it increases the versatility of the character while also opening up some potentially interesting story options. The fact that he loses his powers after a Flare makes me convinced he won't just become Goku-light. I can't wait to see how they handle it going forward. I love that he's back at the Daily Planet, and I love that he revealed himself to Jimmy. Seriously, if it weren't for the art this book would probably be tied with Transformers MTMTE as my most anticipated every month. It's vexing. I loved John's previous Superman run as well, but Gary Frank's creepy Christopher Reeve-inspired Superman drove me up a wall every time I saw his face.
