Superman in JL by Snyder/Cheung/Jimenez

[Kuwagaton]

So this is unbelievable to the point where I'm sure the DC thread is already huge. Snyder is a new big go-to writer and Cheung is a big Marvel scoop (wow. With Lee, Kubert, and Cheung, only Mad left for my favorite 90s Marvel). We also have our guy Jimenez drawing Superman, still.

But interesting in its own way is that the newest version of Superman will now be written by Snyder, who mostly wrote Superman in the New 52. This is also a much bigger team, so how do you feel about his upcoming role?

I'm really looking forward to it. It seems like Superman and his rogues gallery are a big part of what sets this in motion so i'm excited about that. I don't know how to work the spoiler part of here so I wont type it out, but people can look for anouncements about the lead up to the new League roster to see what I'm talking about.

You mean Brainiac in No Justice? That's...very public knowledge.

I think Cheung is just doing covers for this, but I'd be happy to be mistaken.

Oh hell yes to all of this right here, man!




Jimenez is a star on the rise, and this is the sort of profile befitting of his raw talent. Speaking as unselfishly as I possibly can, I'd have accepted on nothing short of a book like a Snyder headed Justice League book that uses the most well recognized (within the last 15 years) line up. Any thing less would've been a waste.

Snyder has been absolutely killing it with Metal, and he seems to just be in a phase of his career where he's far less restrictive of his writing and how he uses his characters. I think it all started with Super Heavy where he ends it with Batman literally having a megazord fight and having a whole imaginary pitcrew rebooting him like an eva from Evangelion. And Metal was just him going freakin ham. And in this state of swine injected writing he put out a fantastic Superman. I thought it would all be deposited into Challengers of the Unknown, but apparently he's got enough for that and JL.

But all of that doesn't compare to Snyder's greatest feat, as far as I go: making Hawkgirl (really Hawk-anyone) NOT SUCK. Like I'm actually super down for her on the team. And boy do I want to like John Stewart outside of Final Crisis, and I'd be forever in doubted to Snyder for making that happen.

Superman-wise: like I said, he put in work during Metal, and it really worked for me. Really hope he continues the trend. It's also worth mentioning that Bendis and Snyder are apparently working together in some complicity. I originally thought that maybe Superman would take a break from the Justice League because apparently whatever he's doing in Superman and Action will ripple through the DCU, but it seems like he's still going strong. I wonder how his new status quo will directly impact his standing on the League.

I reread Superman Unchained lately and the way Snyder wrote Clark/Superman in that book reminded me a lot of how Bendis described Clark in his interviews recently. I could definitely see them being on the same page about who Superman is, and making sure the character has the same voice.

I love that The Martian Manhunter is finally back on the JLA where he belongs. I wish they'd use Hal instead of John Stewart, but it looks liek they are going for a more JLU style team in some ways. I want Cyborg's history with Nightwing's generation of the Titans to be reinstated in continuity if it already hasn't been, that makes his presence on the league stronger. I really hope Superman comes through as the moral compass and inspiration for the league. .

I am SanityOrMadness, and I approve of this message.

I wish they'd use Hal instead of John Stewart,...

But not this one.

Jonn and Superman on the same team again makes me so happy.

I'm disappointed to not have Cheung interiors, because that'd be like sighting Bigfoot and Nessie in the same bog and stumbling over a brick of diamond on your way back to town. But I'm very happy for Jimenez because this is a clear sign that D.C. has been paying attention to his excellent work.

eh, I'd literally give up any other comic to see Katar and Kal El on the same page. But this is the most obviously intelligent team to assemble for the big title. It looks like it should excite virtually anyone.

don't worry, Cheung and Jimenez are sharing art duties between issues.

Yay, Kendra Saunders! Yay, J'onn J'onzz! Yay, John Stewart! Finally, more than one Black character in the League at one time! It only took...how many decades?

I do wonder where Simon and Jessica will be going. The other League book? (Prediction -- Carter Hall will be on the other League team too.)

J'onn's green not black. His last human disguise was also his original white guy skin :P

he's talking about cyborg

[TruthAndJustice]

he's talking about cyborg

Yes exactly. I didn't need to say "Yay Victor!" because he's already been in the League for several years now.

John Stewart and Black Lightning were both on the League at the same time a few years ago, along with Vixen...and the Jason Routh Firestorm.
