Superman by Josh Williamson and Jamal Campbell Discussion & Spoilers

[Dagothoth]

Throwaway line from Bendis? Not the most reliable source.

To be fair

A lot of Superboy fans have taken control over DC since then…mark waid, Geoff Johns, and joshua Williamson have all had positive things to say about Clark’s Superboy era

And even Bendis tried to canonize Superboy as a secret superhero that retired thanks to McCarthy hearings in 5G


And Geoff is planning a legion comic

[The Frog Bros]

From Williamson’s newsletter here’s the Superman related bit:

I like the shorter story arc approach he's going for in this book. Will be a nice differentiation from what PJK is doing as a long arc kinda guy.

Even Byrne admited it was a mistake to erase Superboy. But now the art seems to hint than Superboy officially exists again. Is his relatioshipt withthe Legion what is interest me more.

And even Bendis tried to canonize Superboy as a secret superhero that retired thanks to McCarthy hearings in 5G

Did he? Seems more like an speculation than a approach he would had do it.

And Geoff is planning a legion comic

We suppose. There is nothing official yet. But is sometthing I, at least, want to happen.

So two questions:

1. What volume of Superman will this be?

2. Anyone know the exact week the first issue is coming out (way out of the loop on this)?

Feels like it should be volume 5-6?

Volume 1 - Pre-Crisis

Volume 2 - Post-Crisis

Volume 3 - New 52

Volume 4 - Rebirth

Volume 5 - Bendis

Volume 6 - Williamson

Does that check out?

[Vordan]

Volume 1 - Pre-Crisis

Volume 2 - Post-Crisis

Volume 3 - New 52

Volume 4 - Rebirth

Volume 5 - Bendis

Volume 6 - Williamson

Does that check out?

Yep that’s what I saw. Hopefully Williamson is the last relaunch for a while. I have no clue how close to Superman 1000 we are but I’m sure we’ll switch back to the original numbering once we get close. Is Batman close to 1000? Maybe that’s another reason they haven’t relaunched his book yet.

[Thor-Ul]

Volume 1 - Pre-Crisis

Everything started here, obviously.

Volume 2 - Post-Crisis

Universal reboot and changes in the continuity. Justified.

Volume 3 - New 52

Again another reboot, understandable, even if you disagree with it.

Volume 4 - Rebirth

Back on track to make people understand than the previous era was finished.

Volume 5 - Bendis

Bad! Bad! You don't restart the issue numbers! You are not more important than the character!!

Volume 6 - Williamson

Back on track to make people understand than the previous era was finished.

Does that check out?

Yes, just to pont than after COIE, Superman had become Adventures of Superman; After infinite crisis Adventures of Superman once again became SUperman, keeping on the count.

Around 900 at the moment.

Marilyn Moonlight, “The Spirit of Metropolis”, Williamson’s new anti heroine who Supes is going to butt heads with.

That is an awesome character design!!

[Sacred Knight]

Interesting, I like the look. That purple lipstick completes it.

[Superboy-Prime]

A Batman of Metropolis? Heck, that's cool!

[Frontier]

Marilyn Moonlight, “The Spirit of Metropolis”, Williamson’s new anti heroine who Supes is going to butt heads with.

She looks like if Crimson Avenger and Ghost-Maker had a baby.
