I would have to dig through my old Wizard magazines but the Veitch mini-series was part of Jim Lee's relaunch of the Superman books. Jim Lee was writing and drawing Superman. I forget who was doing Action Comics at the time. The Question, Vigilante and 2 other heroes were given mini-series to tie into the Superman books during Lee's run. The Vigilante was going to be written by Micah Ian Wright but Lee said the story did not match with the direction they were taking Superman. Another writer wrote the Vigilante mini and I want to say the same thing happened to the Question mini and that was how Veitch ended up writing it. The problem was only Action and Superman came out on time. The Vigilante and Question mini's came out after rewrites and failed to try into Lee's Superman rebirth as original intended. It was still a good story but much was originally planned was suppose to be much better.The Rick Veitch Mini was more of a standalone romp in Metropolis. It's almost a team up with Superman but Vic and Clark mostly run parallel to each other, working the case but not really coming together till the end. His powers weren't given an explanation but I figured Veitch had an answer in his backup in case they caught on (they didn't ).
Which appears to tie in nicely with Lemire's theme. I admit there is a romanticism to the linking of a city with a character so that thcharacter carries through generations. But unlike the daily comic strip Phantom or Marvel's Iron Fist, a generational aspect placed into the franchise seems forced. But it's a short series of stories, so I will give it the benefit of the doubt.
Well, I can’t wait for Lois Lane #2 to come out, because maybe the description for #3 will make more sense...
“[...] the two Questions—Renee Montoya and Vic Sage—try to understand their own confusing continuity.“
What does it mean Mr. Rucka?
Quick question (ah ha), so I noticed that Vic appeared in New Suicide Squad, is that important reading? Because honestly... I really don’t want to read it.
