I...Nice one Anj, this is indeed a rock solid issue. It's fun to see an old favourite Silver Age plot - the nobody mistaken for Superman - reworked for today. Maybe Spence is a hero or villain (or robot) in disguise - or it was simply hot at lunchtime and Spence had taken his tie off for a bit!Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-77794607617490866152012-05-25T10:28:10.611-04:002012-05-25T10:28:10.611-04:00I wonder why we're seeing more characters in t...I wonder why we're seeing more characters in the DCnU having "Daddy Issues"? That was a story point in many of the early issues of the last run of Supergirl, then it became "Mommy Issues", now it seems to be spreading like a virus. It's as if the only way you're allowed to love and respect your parents is if they're dead, like the Kents or the Waynes. It just seems to be an odd choice for a recurring character theme, unless the idea is to give the reader a conflict point he/she can "relate to". The problem with that is some of us actually liked our parents, so it's a hard one for that part of the audience to relate to and in fact makes the characters seem petty and overly self-involved rather than heroic.<br /><br />I think the thing with Lois was that she cares for Clark, and that could develop into something more. But it could also mean that right now she just wants to see him happy, and was thinking of setting him up with Lucy. I'm finding that interesting, I hope it doesn't get lost if there's another writer shake-up. One thing the Superman book really needs is a regular writer to give it some long term consistency. I was looking forward to seeing the Giffen/Jurgens pair on Superman for awhile and seeing at what they might bring to the table long term. I'd like to have some plot points like this bit with Lois that don't resolve for awhile, storylines that are regularly referred to but not finished in a couple of issues, and the chance to see character relationships change over time due to actual events rather than a writer declaring it to be "just so." I hope the Lobdell rumor isn't true mostly because I want to see the current team be given a chance to do that rather than being quickly rushed out the door to make way for someone else.Gearnoreply@blogger.com
