Official : Bendis gets both books

[Superlad93]

Wow, so, I don't know why it took me thing long to realize, but I think I *may* understand how Bendis plans on doling out Lois' time in space to us: it's her book, right?

So maybe as she writes the book, we get more information on her adventures (with the writing as narration to flashbacks)? It seems as if though she's still working on it in Action Comics issue #1001 (https://www.instagram.com/p/BjqN7WTH...en-by=dccomics)

If this is in fact the format that we'll be getting the information, then I'm quite happy. That's a direct POV from her, and a nice way to directly incorporate her writing into the story.

Regardless of if this is what Bendis is planing on or not, I wonder what she'll call the book? My money was on "I Spent The Summer With Superboy" but it's feeling like we might be getting a more dire sounding title than that.

Glad we've still got two weeks of weekly Superman books to go.

Ehhh, it takes like 3 seconds to Google "where to buy comics".

I know, but you shouldn't have to Google something that simple after watching a commercial. Like I said; a commercial's purpose is to point consumers towards the product, and this one didn't do that very well.

It's a solid commercial, other than that, don't get me wrong.

[Kuwagaton]

I think it's very fair to assume that people will try BAM and B&N, although you can't really promote them without throwing the LCS under the bus. But most comic shops do it to themselves with either weak promotion, poor customer service by retail standards, or both.

I like that ad, especially how it uses motion as yeah, a static commercial is a no no even if you're advertising print. But if you feature a no name like Zaar, you should probably show him give as well as he gets.

Oh and Superlad, next week is a skip week.

Interesting that the bedroom conversation with Lois is a discussion about Lex...

So Bendis says issue 1004 of Action Comics is a "very special" issue about Lois and Clark, and that while it has a positive message behind it, it's apparently his big statement on their relationship and one he "stands behind"..which is usually code in comics for "I'm sinking a 'ship"

If you mean the marriage then that is unfortunate still he did say he wanted to prove that they do care about the marriage so let's see.

He said they would show they cared about the family, which I believe, but you can have a family and not be married.

Bendis' choice of words lately have been big warning signs, talking about the family being "unconventional", finding ways to interact with each other differently, finding ways of loving and relating to one another. All of this points to, if not a divorce, then a long-term seperation that will be resolved before Doomsday Clock.

A family is better when it's whole I believe you should know that single parent families on the other hand have a more uphill battle. Besides if you don't keep Clark's family whole there are dire consequences from the fans and I will be ready to duck when that happens.

I don't think he's sinking L&C at all.

Unconventional can kind of mean anything. It better be a separation at least it will be better than divorce because if that happens I know Bendis will have the scorn of a lot of people.

[Miles To Go]

I don't think he's sinking L&C at all.

He isn't sinking their relationship, but he's probably been instructed to end the marriage and he's simply going to soften the blow for everyone with how he has them handle it in these issues.

What kind of "very special issue" would it be if their relationship was already hunky-dory? What makes his statement a "very positive one" if their relationship is often full of positive statements? Clearly something is happening in these early issues to warrant bringing up how special their closeness is, he's either teasing a seperation/divorce, or a seperation/divorce is already developing when we catch up with them
