I'm glad they left if open to a sequel. This is my official Donner-verse! And, yes, the Goonies Easter egg was great!

I loved it. Although the rumor was that it takes place just after the first movie, I have to place it after all of them since Superman would not be taking advice from recordings in the second movie when his parents are actually there.
Too bad about sales. I'd love to see this be an ongoing, at least for a while, like the Adam West Batman '66. Superman (1978) is the origin of AI Jor-El, of Krypton as an ice planet and the Fortress as ice, of the S as the symbol of the El family rather than an S for Superman, etc. Basically, these have been part of every version since.
Power with Girl is better.

I'm still unsure about this series. I love Venditti and Donner/Reeve Superman and was enjoying the hell of out if it until it was revealed that Jor-El and Lara survived.
I know it's almost as if they didn't given how much the Reeve Superman interacted with their digital duplicates, but it still seems too far. It undermines one of the crucial elements of Superman if his birth parents are alive. Even if they're miniaturized and trapped in a bottled city, it just makes too great a change. At least for me. I'm undecided, because everything else was great.
Its win freakin win, baby!
I hope that Lex is back too. Perfectly Hackman. Also, more Goonies references please. Like Sloth doing a Superman t-shirt reveal.
I feel like the late great Gene Wilder would have made a good Mxy. Like an even more bizarre, twisted, and slightly evil Willy Wonka.

The Spain hardcover
The ongoing separation between DC doing some classic/more traditional stuff and doing a more woke/current version in the regular books is interesting. The classic version has Superman in the trunks. The World's Finest limited run book also uses the classic suit. The Superman titles sell poorly in general but those that do sell more briskly tend to be these classic takes. Maybe not true with World's Finest as putting Batman in a book alone is enough to bump sales.
That there is talk of a follow-up series to 78 is encouraging in that it suggests DC sees there is a demand for "classic Coke" and arguably more demand for the classic version than the updated version featured in the regular Superman titles.
