For me at least he brought a bronze age sensibility with a modern twist. It's been one of my favorite runs post crisis. I just loved it. So much so that I can still remember when he announced he was off the title. I wasn't happy but the tears in my eyes? Dust.

That's because New 52 Superman is more like the classic Superman (Silver/Bronze Age) than any other version, but Jurgens' early to mid-90's take, in attitude, was closer to classic than the rest of the post-Crisis era. <br /><br />And why is the fact New 52 Superman gets support from some circles disturbing? There's no such thing as invalid versions of Superman to be a fan of.

There's a disturbing amount of support for New 52 Superman on the CBR forums as it is and worse, they have the gall to say that New 52 Superman isn't much different from Jurgens' depiction of Superman.<br /><br />Superman had plenty of good writers in the early to mid 00s; Joe Kelly, Joe Casey, Greg Rucka, Geoff Johns and Kurt Busiek are just some examples of a non mopey Superman in the 00s. <br /><br />And I also agree that it's good to see Clark and Lois together again, I've missed that great romance.<br /><br />LouisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-65277058981852229432015-04-14T20:14:00.080-04:002015-04-14T20:14:00.080-04:00I enjoyed this story.

It was so nice to see this version of the characters. <br /><br />I agree with Jay in that the over all premise tying all these titles together wasn't all that compelling to me. <br /><br />For what it's worth my favorite of the Convergence titles I've read is The Question. <br /><br />However, I really really enjoyed seeing Clark and Lois together again. I've missed that.

Just doesn't read like the utmpost thought was put into the situations of each domed world, y'know? Outside of that though, glad to see more of a early-to-mid 90's Superman representation here, as opposed to the mopey dud of the '00s. <br /> Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-53009600839928174962015-04-13T14:00:49.604-04:002015-04-13T14:00:49.604-04:00Seriously I cannot wait to read this issue for mys...Seriously I cannot wait to read this issue for myself! :D Your glowing review shows this is definitely my kind of Superman as well. One who is willing to use diplomacy and reason before force and violence, who's willing to put his life on the line with or without powers and acts warmly and friendly towards his friends and loved ones. How I've missed the Pre New 52 Superman, I can't believe people actually prefer the New 52 version -_-<br /><br />LouisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-43068667625478059032015-04-13T13:32:08.198-04:002015-04-13T13:32:08.198-04:00http://www.avclub.com/article/exclusive-dc-preview...http://www.avclub.com/article/exclusive-dc-preview-convergence-gets-irreverent-s-217937?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=feeds<br /><br />matrix previewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-56991563358184336652015-04-13T09:02:22.755-04:002015-04-13T09:02:22.755-04:00Wasn't this a treat?

Given Dan Jurgens is writing this, I don't fear for Lois and the baby - this is the chance the suddenness of Flashpoint denied writers of his generation, the chance to say goodbye properly to the Lois and Clark loved by a generation. <br /><br /><br />And hopefully, we'll get to revisit them soon.
