Superman Family Adventures


We got our first look at the upcoming Superman Family Adventures book yesterday on the DC Source blog. Here is the link to the announcement:
http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2012/02/10/exclusive-first-look-at-the-cover-for-superman-family-adventures-1/

Included in that post are quotes from the Tiny Titans creative team putting the book together, Art Baltazar and Franco. Here were some phrases that caught me.

First from Baltazar: ACTION! ADVENTURE! HUMOR! BIG GORILLAS! GIANT ROBOTS! LOIS! JIMMY! PERRY! and…SUPER PETS!!!! Whaaaa? Yep, that’s a true story right there! SUPERMAN FAMILY ADVENTURES is gonna rock! Aw yeah Krypton!

And then from Franco: The book is going to be filled with amazing adventures, stories and humor featuring the entire cast of the Superman family – Lois, Jimmy, Supergirl, Superboy and even a few surprises you haven’t seen in a while like Fuzzy The Krypto Mouse.

I was a big fan of Tiny Titans so I can't wait to see what they have in store for the Superman family. And these two certainly sound excited about this book. It sounds like a more typical comic book with the heroes fighting villains rather than going to kindergarten with them.



And I have to say I like the look of what I see with the Super family sporting sleeker versions of the DCnU costumes. Look at how good Supergirl looks sporting the new high collar cape but with a red skirt rather than the red crotch guard. And a headband! Superman looks good with solid blue tights without the armor accents.

Looks like me and the supergirls at home are going to have a new title to share together. And that is always a good thing. Can't wait!

That comic is looking then all of the DCnU comical put together.

This will be good for the younger kids (providing that the parents of said kids will be able to figure out how to order a comic book from a comic book store...)

One thing I'll say about DC, they have not flagged in their efforts to get younger kids in the habit of buying floppies. This is one middle aged kid who'll definitely be reading this bad baby.

QUOTED FOR TRUTH.

This Supergirl looks excellent! Why couldn't they make the DCnU Supergirl look this good?
