    Same goes for Morrison's t-shirt Superman.

    Y'know, just in case someone from DC is lurking and thinking to themselves "I wonder what readers would buy?"
    Only hope now is that they changed the Coates reboot from a black Clark to Calvin.

    The recent news does leave Calvin (and Jon) in a weird place. They’re clearly gearing up to give Calvin a push based off of his prominent usage in Infinite Frontier, will that be derailed by the recent announcement? I hope not, I far prefer Calvin to Val. Going to be interesting to see what happens in the coming months.

    I am having a feeling that the reason why they are pushing Calvin is because he is far more viable than a black Clark in comics, and more interesting to write for writers than Val-Zod

    I’m expecting Taylor to use Val at some point in SOKE, but Calvin I think is indeed the guy they’re going to use to synergize with what Coates is doing. Least I hope so anyway. I am feeling much better about Calvin’s prospects now after having given it some thought. Still hoping for a mini spinning out of Infinite Frontier, guess we’ll see what happens.

    Looks like next Infinite Frontier issue will take us to Calvin’s world. If Bruce is still the Batman there that could be an interesting meeting given how Thomas reacted to Earth 0 Bruce being Batman. Given the ship’s origin from Earth 23, maybe we’ll see Calvin’s Lex Luthor again as well?

    Preview for next issue. Thomas Wayne Batman walking around out of costume is so weird for me lol. Excited to read this, apparently it’s a big issue!

    Hah! Am I reading too much into this or is Courtney supposed to be his “Lois”, but because of the nature of their relationship Calvin is wisely not pursuing her. That’s an interesting dynamic. Guess that’s why he ends up with Nubia? Also I love all the little glimpses we get into Earth 23’s politics, Williamson writes a surprisingly good Superman in general.



    His Fortress being tied to the Oval Office is a cool idea, and it makes sense for easy access.



    I’m really enjoying the Calvin/Thomas relationship. It’s fun seeing a Superman who is the “brains” while Batman is more the “brawn”, and I really enjoy how they continue to walk that line between Calvin being a good man who is very similar to Clark but also having some major differences that push at the boundaries of what’s “acceptable” for a Superman to do. This kind of spying is an amplified version of what Clark already does with his superhearing, but it also feels uncomfortable too doesn’t it?

    DARKSEID IS… naked? Definitely looks like he’s going for the full frontal assault

    **** yeah more Calvin and he’s leading the JI! Really enjoying Williamson’s IF mini and I’m enjoying the Calvin/Thomas World’s Finest dynamic as well. Definitely will be reading this!

    That's a lot of pushing for Calvin and the multiverse in this era of DC.

    It’s definitely synergy with what the film side is doing. Val might end up getting a mini as well next year. I’m still hoping for Calvin solo mini but I will definitely take a Justice Incarnate mini.

    Hah, makes sense since the DCAU “proper” isn’t part of the comic DC Multiverse. Earth-D Superman was I believe technically the “first” black Superman, created by Wolfman, so that designation works fine.
