I just finished reading Superman Smashes the Klan, and I loved it.
It almost makes me want to see an ongoing period piece Superman spin-off book from it.

Superman smashes the klan should be included in every 'best Superman stories list' from now on. It might be my favourite recent Superman story. Gene Leun Yang, I think has it in him for another Superman run, because his new 52 'Truth' stuff was probably constrained by editorial mandates, given how good 'smashes the Klan' was.

Who's the asshole Mongul who decided to mix the Rule of Two with Patricide?
Didn't they get killed off? DC Comics seems to go back and forth on exactly how endangered Kryptonians are.

While Marvel is happy to get completely away from why anyone read their books in the first place, turning them into something unrecognizable, DC would rather remix a few stories over and over like a DJ with only so many records to work with.

Well that works. It's uh out of the box thinking. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
Over in Superman, Clark and Mongul battle it out despite Clark saving Mongul from a United Planets retaliatory attack, the Justice League step in and tell Clark to go home and be a family man. Lois herself is trying to defend Superman's role as Earths spokesman from the press and is a bit concerned Clark didn't tell her about this part of his peacekeeping job. To protect her family, she decides to lawyer up but can't get through to him because he's on vacation, the FBI then come calling...specifically agent Cameron Chase

Just read the Supersons story in the Robin special
Jon's "I hate writers" line was definitely all kinds of shade thrown at everyone that's screwed him up since Tomasi left.
Bendis revealed on Instagram he's been writing Superman for longer than he intended.
Heya there! I'm West.
Hey, how do you guys say Kryptonite? I kinda pronounce it like Creep-Toh-Nigh-T (or Kreep-To-Night-Tee).
If there's a book you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. Toni Morrison
Crypt-ta-night
I pronounce it like that too.
An interview with Peter David about his 90s Supergirl comic
. Something of interest was that he wanted to do a Birds of Prey-style team up with Linda, the original Kara Zor-El and Powergirl.
I actually had something longer-term in mind. I was hoping they would let me keep her around and that we'd transform the book into an "S" version of Birds of Prey teaming up my Supergirl, Kara, and Power Girl, and call it 'Blonde Justice.' Unfortunately, the editor brought in some utterly incompetent artist to do the first couple of covers, and that was all the art DC chose to show. Sales tanked. By the time people picked it up in the store, opened it and saw the fantastic art inside, it was too late.

No. Absolutely not. Nothing more about Krypton. No one gives a shit. It's where Superman is born and then it blows up.
My various fanfics.
What next? A story of the Waynes before the fateful night in the alley? I think there were some old comic book stories that were about Krypton, so this wouldn't be the first time that DC Comics wanted to have some world building for Krypton. But the synopsis doesn't even sound like it would be about world building! Isn't there also a tv series set on Krypton?
Was. Got cancelled after two seasons.
If the only way you think the characters and settings appeal to people is to not write about them, maybe don’t set them in the same universe. Or use the branding.
Surrounded by weirdoes
Makes you wonder if there is a market for stories about ancient Amazons or Atlanteans or Green Lanterns. Those three groups are still around, after all.

That would be cool especially since those guys are actually still around and in some cases can live for centuries. This though seems unnecessary.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
Is that why there was a Mongul Jr? Because daddy dearest died/got taken care of by someone else?
