Superman In "Heroes In Crisis" By Tom King and Clay Mann

[Miles To Go]

How did that go for Oliver?

His hand wasn't hurt, which was odd, unless he reined the power of the punch in.

His hand wasn't hurt, which was odd, unless he reined the power of the punch in.

Nah, Clark rode the punch so it hit but not as much as, for example, when he turned his head when Batman punched him after Jason died.

A glancing blow. Tik

But it did hurt and Ollie ignored it - he said he didn't care if he broke every bone in his own body.

Sometimes physical pain snaps someone out of their rage, other times it fuels it.

J'onn doing some sort of astral-tug thing was interesting, though.

From Tom King's spotlight panel at NYCC

-He says he went to therapy as a kid and hated it, but later in adult life after a panic attack he learned how to deal with anxiety and stress through it
-King says that Heroes in Crisis is set up like The War of Jokes in Riddles in that there will be a main story with backups by other artists that do explores those themes.
-A fan asks him about Nightwing's recent head injury, King reveals he talked to a genuine Neurologist so he could put some elements on truth into the story
-Believes Arkham Asylum is not for the mentally ill, but for the purest evil
-King was pro-gun before the Newton shootings
-Poison Ivy will appear in Heroes In Crisis
-Says his Mister Miracle run is his big statement on The New Gods and that he's done with them after it's conclusion.
-His favourite character to write is Dick Grayson

Also

"A fan asks if we'll see anything similar in tone to the "Superfriends" arc in King's Batman."

"King says that those are a couple of his favorite issues and that he definitely wants to do more issues like that."

Doesn't confirm that it'll be Superman, but it's likely given how well received that two parter was and the fact that he's writing a Superman book too.

The fallout of Wally's death will be covered in Flash Annual#2 when Barry has to tell Iris the news.

[Bored at 3:00AM]

This issue did a pretty good job directly addressing the "Is he Clark, Kal-El or Superman?" debate and I really liked Tom King's answer, although I am certain a lot of hardcore fans are going to absolutely hate it

[Kon93]

We learned 3 things SUPER related in this issue

spoilers:

Batman lied right to superman's face about having kryptonite in his belt Superman is super slow when he is around harley,but God level fast all the rest of the time Superman and Clark Kent are both exaggerated personas,that makes him wonder who the real HIM is Jesus ppl

end of spoilers

Btw this book has beautiful art,and lois lane is the most attractive thing I've ever seen on paper lol.


Can someone fix this spoiler or tell me how to,I can't leave it like this

[theoneandonly]

Tom kings narrative throws shade on the Trinity themselves with all three behaving in a disassociative manner hardly operating at the peak of their capabilities. further more their demeanour during the counselling almost would lead any detective to suspect them of being on the verge of a nervous breakdown and capable of committing any number of crimes themselves. wonder if the place has like brother eye achieved sentience and is exacerbating their problems instead of curing them or they are falsified files or them being uncomfortable with the concept even though they recognized it's necessity.
