Lol, in the time since finishing it, I've been reminded every once in a while that it even featured Batman. But I should get around to reading Dark Age soon to see what else is left in the corner of...
Is Campbell still to be considered as the main artist?
I just wouldn't know under what pretenses they would collect that missing year. Like if this does well they just move forward in time.
Almost as rough is that the Exile omnibus is hard to find
...
I like it and I think Ordway did the best covers, but wouldn't call that his best. And Bog's MoS was really memorable so I would have expected that also
Hasn't that been in the cards for a while?
Unfortunately the Exile omnibus leaves off a year before this one. So there's a break where they would pretty much have to bridge with another...
Vols one, two, Death and Return... presumably gonna sit right next to my Peter David Hulks 2-4 in a circle of massive comic books that make me happy
OPM punches things. Between 1951-1971 Superman maybe punched like four dudes so I'm not sure of the particular connection
I mean in the inception of the medium, it's hard to say what made a...
I agree that it should feel kore connected, but I don't think Jason Aaron had more than a fourth issue at that rate
You don't even have to tell someone that this character design is from 1999
I don't really like the wink nudge style of say, Batman '66. Writing as the old Superman comics were written and drawn in the era of Dorfman and Bates sure
Lol, I hope so. For other heroes well, I don't see why Superman is so imposing. It's not like Question fans are bothered by Batman right?
Well yeah, in my opinion. I mean it's not like we have...
I'd have to imagine they were all factors since they can't be separated. The stuff that reverted back to a "classic" status quo tended to take a good 15 years
I mean an adaptation is going to have some differences for sure. So will riffs like Rebirth's Trinity... but I just don't think anyone wants to tweak the original
Well, the sales pitch was that you didn't have to read any single other title before the reboot, that you could have it all, and that it was successful indicated that it was the right call.
...
Idk, I'd be more bothered about casting British and Australian actors who are possibly roundabout sometimes with accents
I'm not saying you did, I only quoted you because you brought it up. My real pushback is just against the waves of deathly serious comics that seem to have an obligation to be profound or edgy. If...
It was never supposed to be "high quality elevated literature" and I think there's a huge problem with thinking somehow it's supposed to be. Like that was never what Siegel or Shuster set themselves...
Yeah that and Lois saying I love you. It's like the idea was abandoned partway into the script
I'm glad they just gave up Bizarro speak for the citizens. And the passage of time was a really neat element in the storytelling
*looks back*
Jeez, maybe I subconsciously ripped that off lol
Yeah I wish I had Photoshop to tweak one of these
Edit: I'd be horrified to see how rough this is in high res, but it's what I did on my android

Miller loves noir, pulp, "guys and dolls" type stuff. I could easily see it but it's surprising he'd mesh with Gerber over Chaykin, who's always had a similar wheelhouse
Byrne a little moreso loved George Reeves. His first Superman experience was the second episode of the series and it's where he got the idea for his Clark. But as kac mentioned I'm sure so many...
Speaks to the less than flawless reboot concept. MoS to Superman #1 was three years, but at some points they arbitrarily said five. Then Zero Hour established "10 years, Superman started at 23." I'd...
