Are you Excited for Truth?

[fin5]

I never get into the Superman comics. The last Event was the Death and Return of superman but with the new Truth story ark it might be a good place to jump in
I think all I need to know is Superman got a new power and he got outed by Lois

[DochaDocha]

"Excited" is less the word I'd use to describe it. I think I'm more curious than anything. I guess curiosity is a big part of excitement, but as much as I think this story can be great, it's just as likely that it could be a complete disaster.

At least the premise isn't dull.

[Vanguard-01]

A Superman story where he loses his powers for the 900th time, gets stabbed in the back by one of his closest friends, has no secret identity, and is lashing out at everyone around him? A story where he rides around on a motorcycle and can't even beat up Jim freaking Gordon? A story that begins with "Superman" boo-hooing over the loss of an easily repaired piece of cloth?

Nope. Not excited. Won't be buying any of the affected books until this crap is over.

You make it sound like it was Jim Gordon in the flesh, which it wasn't and Clark is just a regular Joe at the moment, so yeah it is expected he can't beat up a freaking armoured robot.

[Will J.]

Not particularly.

If anything, I'd say I'm conflicted.

On one hand, I want to give Greg Pak the benefit of the doubt because I really loved his work prior to Doomed, though I haven't enjoyed his work as much following that crossover. And I definitely want to give Gene Luen Yang a fair shot despite not being overly thrilled with the preview. I've also enjoyed Peter Tomasi's work in the past, largely the Green Lantern Corps prior to the reboot, but much like Soule before him, his work on Superman/Wonder Woman has been hit or miss with me.

On the other hand, I'm pretty damn sick of the depowered Superman trope. Not because it's been used often, which I'm not sure it has in all honesty, but because it just comes off as really lazy, regardless of whatever the point of this storyline is.

So yeah, conflicted would be the word I'd use.

And a "Superman" who can't beat up a freaking armored robot is no Superman worth reading about. IMO, of course.

[Tra-EL]

I'm all in.

I don't know if excited is how I'd describe my feelings. More apprehensive I guess. It's a big risk to drastically change the things they're changing. So I hope it's good, but I remain cautious.

[Kandor Rising]

Considering this is a betrayal of what makes Superman Super, I would say no. The authors should be ashamed of themselves for going along with this.

[Agent Z]

I'm not sure excited is the word I'd use.. but I will give it a chance.

Same, sadly.

[Kuwagaton]

I'm torn. Want this to crash and burn so they could knock it the hell off with this grounding crap. But if this turns out to be great, I win lol

[Sacred Knight]

I'm excited because of the secret identity angle. The losing the powers stuff has been done before so that's no big deal, but exploring him completely out in the open for a decent period of time is of interest to me. Also the idea of making Lois important again, and giving him a more three-dimensional supporting cast all-around. At least that's what it sounds like.

I do look forward to him getting his costume back, though. I can roll with the t-shirt and jeans for a little while, but not too long.

More than anything though? After the borefest of Convergence I'm just excited to get back to DC period.

[Auguste Dupin]

Looks interesting enough to me. Granted, some of my excitement comes from my trust in the guy who writes half the books, but if the sneak peeks are anything to go by (although Superman/Wonder Woman was clearly behind the others. On the other hand, it's also the best Superman/Wonder Woma issue by Tomasi, so), I think it has the potential to be pretty good.

[manofsteel1979]

Apprehensively curiously cautious is the best to describe my feelings of this arc.
