Don't know yet. Still kind of recovering from the shock of all this. I have a few books I've been getting on a regular basis but they are trades. This hasn't scared me off from DC yet (the books I do have are mostly DC) but a lot of that will depend on how this pans out in the long run.
How long until the hinted dc rebirth preview Superman from the old earth 1 and jla comes into the picture?
[QUOTE=SuperCrab;2057495]Superman #50 sold over 90,000 copies. That was the big issue where Clark finally was back to his full self and beat the bad guy after suffering for almost a year with 4 separate monthly titles (Not counting the 2 Justice Leagues and various miniseries) of him powerless getting beat up mentally and physically, and losing his friends and such for the better part of the year. People paid to see him make his comeback, and then expected to see the various storyline potential of what happened during Truth play out now that Superman had his powers back. The next issue opens up with "I'm dying"- plus the news broke that he really was dying and SuperDad was going to be replacing him- and people got frustrated and bolted. What do you expect? DC Comics should have given him a fighting chance. At least hanged on to him with one book going forward. He was starting to sell and they killed his momentum.[quote]
I'm trying to wind down on my complaining, and I forget a little some of the reasons why I'm pissed off, and then SuperCrab does his usual great job on these issues, and helps remind me!
All that **** we went through with Nuperman over the Truth arc, to have him come through and back to full power, but no, a dead man walking the next issue...argh!

Wanna try Superwoman and Supergirl, but still not sure if I want to support anything from DC right now. We'll see. Maybe wait a bit and if I hear good things give them a go. For the next month or so at least though, I think I'm just gonna take a comics break entirely.
And in the back of my mind just hold onto the slim hope that this is all subterfuge to sell his death and his return is indeed inevitable. But I'm not banking on that with dollars and cents. I'll just bug you guys with the theories instead till proven impossible, heh.

No, the Eradicator has already been established. Based on the hints of his power set in the solicitations, he's going to be the same version Lobdell introduced, just with a changed appearance back to the classic one.
My money is on "Clark" actually ending up Denny Swan. As his memories return he'll go batshit crazy again and go back to being a villain. Maybe become the new Cyborg Superman once the Zor-El thing is over.

As far as we were told he was basically incinerated and New 52 Superman absorbed the blast, but I'm highly doubting that was truly the end of him.

Tomasi said Denny is dead: http://www.comicbookresources.com/ar...justice-family
I liked Denny Swan as a character. Or at least, I liked his origin as Denny himself was a bit of a knob. But was he misunderstood? Fans have lamented for the past three years over Zod's death at the hands of Superman in Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" but now we have two Supermen teaming up to kill Solar Superman. Were you worried about any backlash?
Tomasi: I wasn't really worried about it. He was playing into a course of action that he had to take at that point. He tried every which way. He tried to talk him down and really tried to do everything that he could to get him off the ledge, so to speak. Superman was obviously sick and dying at the same time, so his window of opportunity was closing for stopping this unstable character from killing innocents at such a high level. The decision was to absorb all of his stuff but the guy also blew up. It was a fine line because in my mind, I also saw the evil Superman's power was also getting to a peak where he couldn't even control it. He was going to blow and die on his own so Superman basically beat him to the punch. He really more absorbed it as the guy went nova, so to speak. In my own head, he didn't really kill him as much as act as a big sponge. [Laughs]
Not sure if I buy it. Tomasi is also being extremely harsh in the idea that New 52 Superman is dead and gone and even the references of him will eventually cease (that's impossible as long as Lois is around). I'm not sold yet he's not just telling tall tales to protect potential spoilers.

I think theyre gonna avoid the new 52 eradicator and make one close to post crisis.
