So far, we have very little to go on. The in story stuff has been brief with a few pages of Doomsday here and there. I'm not a fan of Doomsday either. Though the idea of a virus that can infect and change Superman seems intriguing. It adds another level of danger to Doomsday beyond the physical stuff. Though really, Doomsday himself doesn't seem all that interesting. He's still a mindless monster that goes on a rampage. I doubt this arc will change your mind about Doomsday. The real meat of the story seems to be the aftermath and what happens to Superman. I think Doomsday may actually end up being a rather small part of Doomed. So you may want to check it out to see what happens with Superman himself. Pak has been great in Action and Soule has been doing well with SM/WW. So we have some real talented writers handling the story.
I always avoid interviews so I don't get overhyped/spoiled/underhyped, so this is the first time I've heard of Superman getting infected & changing...
Ugh.
It was bad enough when Cheetah changed him into a cat-monster-thing in Justice League. It was bad enough when the E-3 Atom was able to enter his brain & activate his heat vision by just poking around in Trinity War. Now he'll turn into something again?
Ugh. Superman getting jobbed. Again. At least DC is being consistent with the Pre-N52 universe, I guess.
I'm pretty excited about it, specially with Pak and Soule being part of the creative team.
I'm a sucker for anything Superman related. So I will be getting this.
Anywho, I want this to work. I have faith that Pak can make me care for Doomsday, like he made me care for those little white kitty things.
Soules SM/WW has been good too. I also trust that Soule will do this crossover justice.
From what I've heard and read, this story goes right into summer. Also they are dedicating an issue of BM/SM for this as well.
5 days to see what happens.
I'd be highly surprised to see any jobbing of any kind. In fact I'm pretty sure the only reason Superman gets infected in the first place is because he beats Doomsday. The virus I think is an evolutionary mechanism. Doomsday is trying to become the being that bested him in combat.
Pak's ACTION COMICS has been a real load of fun. Gorgeous artwork from Mr. Kuder, and just lots of fun SUPERMAN stuff. He nails the character.
I have no interest in DOOMSDAY though. Gonna skip the event.
Welcome back you guys.
Superlad, I'll take that advice. I can't deny my eyes any Kuder.
