I am super excited about this book!
Oh boy, talk about torn. If this is in continuity its still in regards to an overall direction I don't support. But he's obviously older here so is this just more like a Future State deal? And him leading The Authority is still all kinds of weird. But Morrison? Its hard to say no to easily the best Superman writer in DC's employ.
Visually? The costume is pretty cool looking but once again I must say I'm tired of the KC S. Wish it was Flesicher style or just a Conner-like standard red on black.

Educational town, Rolemodel city and Moralofthestory land are the places where good comics go to die.
DC writers and editors looked up and shouted "Save us!"
And Alan Moore looked down and whispered "No."
I'm kinda surprised Snyder didn't want Superman to watch Lois and Bruce conceive their love child. All the while singing the "Na na na na na na Batman!" theme song - Robotman, 03/06/2021
I was kind of interested if this'd be a good introduction to the Authority, but with Morrison it's not worth the headache - literally feel I need aspirin trying to understand how he writes. But for those who are fans, congrats! Always nice when you get something to look forward too. I'll just have to wait for something like that to come along still.
Not really interested in the Authority, but I think this would be good to check out. I don't love everything Morrison does on Superman, but I like to see check out Superman stuff attached to him.
(Just because it's the first significant talk about them on here in awhile and it shows: Morrison came out as nonbinary late last year, they're they/them not he/him even if a bunch of outlets are still getting it wrong.)
Buh-bye
No kidding? I didn't know that. Good for them.
And yeah, obviously I'm certainly buying this. And I don't care what Sacred says, he's probably gonna get it too. I agree with him though, the Fleischer "S" would've been nice. I adore the Kingdom Come shield, it's a personal favorite, but the cartoon crest doesn't get nearly enough love.
With a collection so close I might wait for that, but one way or another this is gonna end up on my shelf.

Well, there's that whole good things come in threes theory... pleasant surprises for King's Supergirl, now Morrison. Waid Black Label forthcoming?
“Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
“Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog
Are we sure this is not going to be written by PKJ? During FS DC announced a few comics with the wrong creative teams. Anyway, that cover is really cool.
