Superman General

So, question: what is the current version of the story of how Clark got interested in journalism?

Pre-Flashpoint Lois and Clark will play a part in "Rebirth"

Interesting. Right now, Superman: Lois and Clark is good, although it could be better. Blanque is just not a really interesting villain - he's too "mwahahaha I will kill everyone!" for my taste. I'm much more interested in Hank Henshaw, but he's being mind-controlled now and that story is just going really slowly.

But I do love all the little nods to the '90s Superman comics - like Bibbowski now running a micro-brewery called "Ace of Brews." And the storyline with Lois and Intergang is especially interesting.

Superman#50 has had a cover and solit change..and a price bump

I wonder if pre-flashpoint Supes,meeting New52 Supes is being put off 'till Rebirth is done?

So, I had a craving for Superman that got me reading Smallville Season 11...and I love this series to pieces. I have to single out the amount of detail given to how Clark and Lois arranged to have sex while Luthor was tracking Superman's every move - it is my official Exhibit A that married superheroes are awesome. (Exhibit B: every interaction between Oliver and Chloe.)

Yeah, I cannot get over how good Season Eleven is.

My various fanfics.

More details on Super League. Pre-Flashpoint Clark will meet New 52 Clark in, appropriately enough, Issue 52 instead of Issue 50

Mikel Janin's Superman art looks so good.

You're just in time. Bayble Cuber's going to watch an inkle dribble adventure from days of old on my holo-pyramid viewer.

Yanick Paquette really loves chins, apparently...

Ugh, I don't really want to read "Super League," but I want to read the issue where the two Supermen meet. Is there some reason they changed it? This seems like more DC meddling.

They probably needed more time to wrap up the Truth arc so they pushed the meeting back and folded it into the Super League arc.

Although its also possible that this was always the plan and they just messed up the solicitations.

Issue 52 is the last issue before whatever Rebirth is hits so they probably wanted to end the volume on something big with the writer that'll take over the book.

According to the May solits, Lois Lane's life will be changed forever by the events of Superman#52. Perhaps the Super-Flare winds up killing Jonathan Carroll and turns her against Clark? It'd be easy to turn her because they still have plans for pre-52 Lois and Clark, so there's some room for variety. It's not like New 52 Lois has been the most likeable version, and an evil Lois worked out well for JL 3001

They are going to kill off fantasy author Jonathan Carroll?!

Also, I highly doubt they will kill of Jon Kent. For one thing, I think he's one of the main characters in Super Sons.

yeah what said. There's gonna be a super sons book presumably starring Jon and damien. What changes Lois life is probably her getting pre Flashpoint superman's powers like that one rumor said

Heh, those old corny Super-Sons "imaginary stories" aren't so imaginary anymore...

That rumor was confirmed to be fake, though.

It could still be what they do. I means it's an easy enough guess

The first issue of Neal Adams' Superman actually made sense for the most part. I am shocked.

So it wasn't just Batman Oddesy with the serial numbers filed off?

, well odyssey started out normal for the most part too. and this issue had a demon tell superman he had to take care of an egyptian boy while 3 other supermen fought kalibak and parademons who could think. and then the demon who told superman to take care of the kid took him back in time and showed him it was darkseid's father who made the egyptians build the pyramids

...How the FRICK is that supposed to make sense?

Well, Superman is no stranger to things like meeting demons or meeting other superpowered Kryptonians. Even the Parademons thing has a few precedents here and there, IIRC. Not all of them were always animalistic. The stuff about Darkseid himself is far more bizarre, and I'm sure it all will go off the loco rails soon, but by now it's kind of 'okay, sane enough for the flying man who used to have adventures about marrying Jimmy Olsen to apes and transforming into a lion'.

aliens isn't someone helping him write dialogue this time? that would explain why people are talking more or less like people

I liked in Jim Starlin and Mike Mignola's Cosmic Odyssey (an under-appreciated gem in my opinion) where a para-demon got left behind during an attack on Earth, and took to living beneath the streets of Gotham. Batman ends up tracking him down after he's started abducting people (para-demon's gotta eat, you know...) thinking that he's just gonna come up against a Gotham-level serial killer. I got the impression from that that a para-demon could think on their own to a certain degree, which became more pronounced the longer he was away from his unit.
