[QUOTE=Vakanai;4242963]Eh, I'm at least curious enough to wait and let some reviews get in before deciding whether this is worthwhile or not.

Basically how I feel. If it’s good, great. It will just be one of the 101 origin stories we’ve gotten and it’s noncanon so anything we dislike we can ignore. If it’s bad I hope it’s ASBAR-tier so we can all have a good laugh while remembering again that it’s noncanon.

I'm not. He isn't. It's not a coincidence they put Azzarello on with him for [I]DK3[/I]. I honestly think he's lost his talent. Maybe it's an age thing, maybe it's his extreme libertarianism getting in the way. IDK.

I actually liked [I]Born Again[/I] better than [I]DKR[/I] (of course it doesn't have Daredevil kicking Thor's ass either). I feel like DC is just giving him this gig because at one point in the nineties he said he wanted to work on Superman.

Miller & Romita's SUPERMAN: YEAR ONE Landing this June: [url]https://www.newsarama.com/44327-miller-romita-s-superman-year-one-landing-this-june.html[/url]
[I]Superman: Year One by writer Frank Miller and artist John Romita Jr. - originally annnounced at 2017's Comic-Con International: San Diego as a 100-page graphic novel - is now scheduled to launch June 19 as a three-issue series in a special, large-format size.
While DC didn't provide further details on the larger format, the Black Label imprint title is scheduled to run every-other-month with a collected edition following on November 12.
Superman: Year One is described by the publisher as the "definitive origin story" for the Man of Steel
"Superman: Year One is a coming-of-age story for the future Man of Steel, featuring a young alien-boy just trying to find his place in a new world," reads DC's description of the title. "Faced with the need to hide his heritage and powers in order to survive, Clark will find his humanity through the grounding of the Kent family and the relationships that will define the man he will become."
"Told by two of the most revered voices in comics, Superman: Year One is more than a superhero story - it’s about the choices made by Clark Kent on his path to becoming a legend. It’s a testament to the importance of choosing to become a hero."
Superman: Year One was originally scheduled to debut in August 2018 and was later pushed back to November 2018. The first issue is now scheduled to debut June 19, 2019.[/I]

Romita’s artwork doesn’t look too bad with those covers.

So I’m assuming buying this issue by issue will be notably cheaper than slamming down 30 bucks for the November trade? I’m onboard but that art isn’t easy on the eyes.

[I]"Superman: Year One is described by the publisher as the "definitive origin story" for the Man of Steel"[/I]
And now I'm right back to seriously entertaining the possibility that this is the origin for our current Superman. They didn't say "this is a masterfully told alternate look at the Superman origin by two great creators" or "this is a new and exciting look at the early days of the Man of Steel." No. They apparently describe it as the "definitive origin story" for Superman. And it also should be noted that they're sticking with the Year One title in the same year that Flash Year One will be out and fully in continuity. If I had to guess, I'd say the only reason it's in black label is because is they simply wanted to give Miller and JRJR time and room to tell it. Superman's origin isn't really all that critical to the goings on of his current day comics, so this story can be both in continuity and basically ignored.
Plus, I feel like I've got to note that Superman has on his new updated classic boots with the double V in the JRJR drawing. It's a little detail, sure, but it's just kind of odd if this were its own thing. I dunno. I guess it'll depend on the time period this is set. That'll give us our answer.
Anyways, I actually really dig all three of the images a great deal especially the one with him in the monster's mouth. On a very basic level I'm actually really hype for this book. I really love everything in the description. [I]"Faced with the need to hide his heritage and powers in order to survive, Clark will find his humanity through the grounding of the Kent family and the relationships that will define the man he will become."[/I] And framing Superman's growth as a person through his relationship with his parents, and each of the women he's dated is an extremely novel idea that I think I might love. Hell even the idea that at one point Clark joined the army doesn't immediately have me recoil because I think there's a germ of a great idea in there depending on what the narrative's goal for it is, and where Clark's head is at.
That said....it's Frank Miller. I'm not one of those people who thinks he has it out for Superman or is incapable of getting Superman. No. I'm just recoil back a bit at the thought of Miller dealing Superman and women, and Superman joining the military. But I don't pretend to know where his sensibilities are at these days, or what he wants to communicate with those ideas and how he's gonna do it. I just have the description, and that, in this moment, is something that I'm willing to give a shot.
Plus, if it is actually in continuity maybe he'll have to keep things to a specific tune? So there's that.
-
A year later, DC will finally release this comic. I hope without delay.

I don't necessarily think this is canon. "Definitive origin" could mean that it's just a good story they are selling. As someone else pointed out on another thread, the only alternative stories they seem to tell with Superman are origins anymore. I do think we will eventually get a "new" origin for the mainstream version but I don't think they'd trust Frank Miller with that these days. Remember, they had to have Azzarello work with him on[I] DKR3[/I] just to keep him from going off the rails. That having been said "Year One" is an odd name for an alternate universe story given that the current WW origin is also called [I]Year One[/I].

Agreed. Like I said in my earlier post, I'm not stating anything as definitive proof. This being in continuity is not a hill I'm willing to die on. I just think it's possible, and I feel like I see hints, is all.
[QUOTE]Remember, they had to have Azzarello work with him on[I] DKR3[/I] just to keep him from going off the rails.[/QUOTE]
To my knowledge, no one at DC ever said that Azz worked with Miller on DKR3 to "keep him from going off the rails." I think that was a collaborative effort on their part, and was in part due to Miller's health, and helping with the work load.
[QUOTE]That having been said "Year One" is an odd name for an alternate universe story given that the current WW origin is also called [I]Year One[/I].[/QUOTE]
Exactly. And not just Wonder Woman, but Flash will also be getting an in continuity "Year One" story this same year. Calling it Year One and keeping it out of continuity when Batman, Wonder Woman, and Flash will have all of their Year One stories in continuity seems odd.
It's also maybe worth noting that Miller said that he's getting some push back on the idea of him using Wonder Woman in this book. Why would there be any sort of push back if this is an out of continuity book that allows creators such freedom? Seems like the sort of push back a writer would get if they were working in an established continuity, ya know?
-
Because the last time he used Wonder Woman it was fucking awful ?
-
I imagine the bulk of the push back is more from the shipping section. Considering his plans to utilize Superman's multiple romantic interests in this young Clark's adventures like Lori, and his own past work with Superman and Wonder Woman, he probably would use her in the same manner.
-

Agree, and that's why I find the push back so odd when it's Miller specifically. In every Dark Knight story he has written Superman has been romantic with Wonder Woman. And it's not as if it's an issue of "well, this isn't called The Dark Knight" because All Star Batman and Robin is a thing, and Superman and Wonder Woman had a very overt romantic interaction there. If this were out of continuity and likely part of Miller's universe (and by all rights you'd imagine it would be) why would there be any push back on using Wonder Woman as a romantic partner to Superman at some point in his life?
The only explanation I can think of is that this is in continuity, because in current continuity there is a very real pivot away from that romance. It's even to the point where I don't think it's all together clear if they ever dated.
I'll wait and see what comes of it obviously, but between that, Black Label books being allowed to be in continuity if that's the aim (Three Jokers), calling it Year One, and the solicit boldly calling it "the definitive origin" I'm not even remotely ruling out the idea that this is the new origin.
-
I feel like it's possible there are elements in this origin that could be used in canon like possibly Clark going to the armey before coming to Metropolis, but I'm doubtful DC would make this the in continuity origin without seeing how people take this book.
Though I did see Bendis retweet about year one, so who knows..
-
Well the way Black Label was advertised initially, they made comparisons to [I]The Killing Joke[/I]. That wasn’t meant to be canon but it was so popular that they folded it in. With [I]Year One[/I] they could be considering something similar. People love it? DC makes it the new official origin. People hate it? It stays noncanon. I’m not really keen on Clark canonically being a soldier but I do like that Frank is apparently going to touch on the non-Lois romantic relationships. So we’ll see.
But for the love of Rao [B]LET THIS BE THE LAST ORIGIN[/B]. I’m so bored of people constantly retelling it, even when it’s good like [I]Man and Superman[/I]. Put a block on Superman origin stories for a decade, I’ll even take Death stories in their place (provided it’s not Doomsday that kills him).
-
I really feel the same. I hope this is great, why not? But we're good on those really.
This looks like Romita maybe trading his speed for something polished nicely in his style. I would like a bigger build but this is riveting.
And yeah, it's probably temp to hire like most stories that catch on without continuity.
-
Is no one else bothered by Superman's legs on these covers? Something about them just weirds me out.

They don’t look great. Honestly DC walking back on allowing nudity might be a good thing. Romita Jr. sex scenes would probably be the stuff of nightmares.

The one leg on the first one looks weird, like he erased part of it and forgot to redraw it. The second cover’s just ugly and kinda terrible IMO, but I really like the 3rd.

As someone who's recently read and loved all the origin stories released in the past 20 years or so now, I don't mind all these retellings. You could just not read them if you are bored of them, there are other Superman stories coming out, including more stuff outside the regular Superman issues. Can't think of another Black Label, but Zoom and Ink have a few. I know Superman Smashes the Klan sounds great.

If you enjoy them more power to ya, but I needed to get off my chest how fed up I am with them. That is after all what a forum is for. And I am interested in what Miller is going to do, since his origin seems to radically shake up the typical Superman tropes.
I’m just sad no one seems interested in telling Year 2 stories. Maybe Miller will want to do that after this? I can only hope.

Oh I know, I just get irritated when people talk about limiting things I like just because they're tired of the repetition. But I agree, more year two or three type stories would be great. There's a lot of early Superman stuff you can play around with. Something on the scale of Batman's Long Halloween would be great. That's a hell of a Two Face origin story. Not sure which Superman villain would make a great origin story like that, since many of Clark's villains like Lex and Brainiac sort of came about independently before Superman. Still, something could be done.

The push back little if any to do with shipping and more to do with the fact that Miller hasn't written a female character that isn't marred in embarrassingly tone deaf writing in decades. His Wonder Woman included.

[QUOTE=Sam;4255366]Is no one else bothered by Superman's legs on these covers? Something about them just weirds me out.[/QUOTE]
I find Romita Jr's art to be horrible more often than not. Very amateurish looking and many times it's just UGLY. This combined with Frank Miller doing the writing looks to be a terrible book (in my opinion anyway). I'll read it and hope for the best, but I really don't hold much hope for it being good.

[QUOTE=Kuwagaton;4242904]That's what I was expecting and hoping. At this point, 2 years since announcement, it would be a little ridiculous to start as a series.[/QUOTE]

But they've seemingly had no issue with him writing her in every other one of his books dealing with the DKR universe, so why the hold up now is my question/point of interest. That pushback is made more odd if this is supposed to be in that assume universe where it's well documented that they have a relationship.
That's why I think this story means more to DC as a "get a fan into Superman" book you'd find in a legitimate book store than it does a Frank Miller book continuing his very specific vision.

I don't think it was "push back" he was receiving. I recall him saying he was "pushing to get a certain amazon involved" ... To me that suggests he's been pushing to fit Diana into the story but has been struggling to do so since it's only a 3 issue mini series and there's already Lana, Lori, and Lois.

Genuinely breathtaking work from Romita JR and the colorist Miki. I'm honestly grinning ear to ear right now. Sunkissed and somber. This looks like some real thought and care went into it. Looking forward to this.
Also seems friendly-fire-press was right on the money. This book functions like Batman: Year One where it's allowed to be both the origin for Miller's Superman AND just the origin for whatever DC needs if they want it.
