JLK is the worst character this side of Harvest and H'el. <br /><br />Still, I hope everyone who buys this annual enjoys it.

Now I know that some of you may see the Teen Titans books as less than good quality, but this story could lead to some interesting stories regarding Superman and his family.

I know it's Marvel and an "alternate universe" but Miles Morales is a great character, and I really mean it, I think you would love that book, it has all the things you want: a young character starting the hero's journey, trying to live up to a big mantle, has a lot of heart, has amazing writing, lovely art and it's really really funny. It's like Vibe (which I really like, but much better) Maybe you could check the trade for the first arc "Who is Miles Morales?", if you do, I bet you would fall in love with it in a second.<br /><br />Like you, I can't get excited for the Supermann/WW book, I have no interest in their relationship, but I'm totally excited for Olympus though, even more when BQM confirmed in twitter that Diana won't interfiere in the Clark/Lois romance!LJ-90https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786120657682897989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-13346042506063856132013-07-10T10:34:26.627-04:002013-07-10T10:34:26.627-04:00There are some truly beautiful covers here.

I can't wait to see BQM handle Diana and I can't wait to see Diana and Lois interact. I know I can count on BQM.<br /><br />What's funny is that it's clear in reading the solicit for the Superman/Wonder Woman book that they are trying really hard to establish this as some kind of "forbidden love" or "star crossed" in order to make it interesting.<br /><br />The problem is...Superman and Wonder Woman are too powerful and frankly, too PRIVILEGED to feel sorry for.<br /><br />They are two uber powerful, gorgeous, privileged people. It's very hard for me to feel any kind of compelling sympathy if people are "afraid" or "mean" to them.<br /><br />Lois and Clark managed the "forbiden love" dramatic story element because Lois is mortal and it truly was this idea of two people from different worlds falling in love. They had a healthy romance and marriage but if you wanted to tell a story of "forbidden love" you could. See Superman 2. <br /><br />But with these two? It just doesn't work. I'm not going to feel sorry for two super gorgeous people with that much physical privilege. <br /><br />It continues to feel like they are forcing this "love story" on two characters who just aren't suited for it and aren't suited for each other. I can't imagine them having passion for each other bc it would just be horrifically out of character. Passion for each other for what? <br /><br />But Olympus? That looks wonderful.<br /><br /><br />--ShadesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-80679752342382275672013-07-10T09:55:38.588-04:002013-07-10T09:55:38.588-04:00Cheers for the round-up, Anj.

And that cord bisecting the image doesn't help. <br /><br />I love the Superman cover though, I'm also a sucker for the Super Family looking like a team. And Eddy Barrows' positioning of Superman let's us pretend Superman is wearing his real costume - no collar or blue crotch on display!<br /><br />How excited am I for the Superman/WW book? Let me count the ways. 0, -1, -2, zzzz ...<br /><br />When reading the solicits, do you ever wonder what the writer's first language is?Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.com
