Or, better, should have Superman told him?<br />As far as I'm concerned, I've the feeling that from the 70s to now, Superman has been depicted as always making the wrong move, when coming down to Lex. Trying to save him as a boy, trying to redeem him, trying to find the best part of him, and always coming up with a harsher situation. Lex is the only person Superman could not manage to save: it's another aspect of their relationship that Morrison wonderfully depicts in All Star. So, according to this view, probably Clark made the wrong choice.

...I agree the first and last story were very nice.<br /><br />Someone got the message that Bendis was coming - Superman is in his red trunks. So Jurgens must have known, assuming little lead time between script and art. But the cover features the older uniform. Interesting that they didn't "fix" that.<br /><br />Loved the Manapul artwork and the coloring.<br /><br />Neither Lois in the old car, nor Clark in the later one, are wearing seatbelts. Tsk tsk! Well, her old jalopy might have had the old lap-only seatbelts, but the newer rental would have had the full modern seatbelt.<br /><br />"...flying Lois home for the holidays one last time in this seat"<br /><br />Looks like they rented or used some other car and were already up at her aunt's for a Christmas party. Rather, I think he just took Lois out the next morning for a sunrise spin above the clouds -- as one does.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-26705012281059524882018-05-07T16:19:22.487-04:002018-05-07T16:19:22.487-04:00Hmm, I had an ideas you’d read American Alien, Anj...Hmm, I had an ideas you’d read American Alien, Anj. I agree with Sean, give it a go. <br /><br />Great call on the Cavill likely-homage, and nice review of the issue all round. I do like an evil Lex, but also one I can feel a bit sorry for, one who shows potential to be a better man, and we’ve seen that of late. It’s just a shame the Ardora we’ve seen wasn’t the Lexor lady. Anyway, Jurgens, aided by Conrad and co, bowed out in style.

"I love that...The first story is pretty good.<br /><br />"I love that Kara is Superman's go to for family matters and that he trusts Supergirl with his son's welfare. It shows how far this family has come."<br /><br />Yes, it was nice.<br /><br />"What would you have done? Told Lex? Or not?"<br /><br />No idea. It could make things easier for Superman, it could not.<br /><br />"This was an agenda cloaked in a story and not a story with an agenda. "<br /><br />Yes, it was definitely a boring rant.<br /><br />Incredibly forced, too. Lex Luthor was well-off? Since Secret Origins is still canon, we know his childhood's history. And it was crappy.<br /><br />"My god. I liked a Max Landis story, probably the best in this issue."<br /><br />What did Max Landis do? I know I've heard his name before, but I can't remember.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
