Well, maybe that would be expected of Supergirl fans, or maybe the only people piping up about it are those who don't like it. Blog comments aren't the same as a scientific poll.<br /><br />Between this and Last Knight on Earth, I am wondering, is Scott Snyder generally known as a writer of horror?<br /><br />T.N.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-70261466203020220612019-06-19T21:04:34.405-04:002019-06-19T21:04:34.405-04:00Am looking forward to the return of the Legion.

I agree that the haircuts aren't great. Cos and Lightning Lad in particular look like they just had a close encounter with the Persuader's ax. I do like the costumes though. See Francis Manapul's designs for his run on Legion of Superheroes for really bad costumes, especially Colossal Boy's. Manapul is a terrific artist today, but he was still finding his feet on his Legion run and hadn't yet gotten the message that the nineties were over. <br /><br />Can't wait for the Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane books. The Lois Lane book looks like a modern version of what we might have gotten if Cary Bates' interesting Lois Lane as secret agent direction in her first two Superman Family appearances hadn't been cut short in favor of weak pseudo silver age fare.William Ashley Vaughannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-6783856403428957652019-06-19T16:10:46.822-04:002019-06-19T16:10:46.822-04:00I absolutely hate hate hate the Batman who laughs,...I absolutely hate hate hate the Batman who laughs, so going to have to rely on you to let me know if anything important happens that I need to know.<br />Really looking forward to the Lois and (especially) Jimmy Olsen books!<br />Also...Long Live the Legion!!!SimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12523466126692186444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-15011052233089298792019-06-19T12:26:51.919-04:002019-06-19T12:26:51.919-04:00On the plus side, Supergirl is still being publish...On the plus side, Supergirl is still being published, on the negative side one of more of her many parents is likely going rogue again...the poor kid can't win for losing.

Well, Red Cloud would be pretty darn unlikely, so maybe - who else is new whom Bendis controls, Naomi is surely too obvious?<br /><br />I don’t plan on buying that new Batman/Superman book because of the Batman Who Laughs. They’re taking the B/S bit too literally.

I'm morbidly curious to see how Tom King handles Superman. (Well, ask no more: the solicitation for #3 says Superman is tormented by visions of Lois dying and then ends up on a battlefield. Tom needs a rest.)<br /><br />I could have sworn DC was planning to reduce the number of titles they were publishing. They have cut a few books quietly, and are cutting others down gradually to monthly, but they are also adding so many new ongoings and new mini- and maxi-series and Black Label titles, it feels like they are publishing more interesting stuff than ever.<br /><br />I'd like to draw the line somewhere and skip Batman/Superman, since I'm no fan of the Batman who Laughs, but I have a feeling I'll be giving it a try despite myself.<br /><br />Will you be reviewing Legion material here, or over on that other Legion-related site?<br /><br />T.N.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-47444413501177866882019-06-19T10:01:58.627-04:002019-06-19T10:01:58.627-04:00Is that a coloured Cosmic Boy or just the colourin...Is that a coloured Cosmic Boy or just the colouring? 🤔<br />Kinofreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925596842605783593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-89829717100532104342019-06-19T08:30:50.655-04:002019-06-19T08:30:50.655-04:00So, in Superman #15 the legion comes and offers to...So, in Superman #15 the legion comes and offers to pick young Jon out of the volcano prison and restore him to grow up with his family (like everyone always wanted), the catch being that old Jon has to die.<br /><br />In Supergirl #34 she comes home and sees old Jon's grave and goes wut?<br /><br />:D<br /><br />I think I need to get better at interpreting solicitations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
