All in all, that Silver Age inspired retelling has proved to be more enduring than "Birthright" or "Earth One".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-13750050721691143162017-01-16T15:03:11.127-05:002017-01-16T15:03:11.127-05:00It would have been great to see the food as coming...It would have been great to see the food as coming from Gunga Diner, but having to guess the name. I wonder if Clark simply told the delivery guy he would bring it to the door like he was headed there anyways.<br /><br />For all the weirdness with the age thing, I'm sort of guessing that in "Reborn", we'll see the general public have their memories changed. We'd likely see older vets remembering the JSA, so I can see where people will just see Clark, Lois and Jon as always having been together.<br /><br />My guess on Oz is still out there. I'd hate to think that DC would make it that obvious if it was Ozymandius.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-28653869025327466992017-01-16T12:16:00.372-05:002017-01-16T12:16:00.372-05:00Im loving this series and this run.

It makes me think back to his short run on superman in the new 52 and why that didnt work so well. I think jurgens is a writer that relies on continuity and set up. In the new 52 he didnt know the continuity(noone did) and he knew he wasnt on the book for long. So the issues suffered because it was all immediate "filler" material. This is so good because it feels important. We're exploring lexs role as a "hero", the mysterious clark kent and lois living her doubles life. So much going on beyond the current adventure. <br />I too miss classic villainous lex but i am finding this version interesting. Lex telling his story was cool because he left out certain details, he said "i couldnt get to him in time" instead of "i walked away makibg a sarcastic comment as he died". But its not unreasonable to believe some part of him does feel some guilt or sorrow. I think this version of lex wants to be a hero but the question is can he? Isnt it inevitable for him to do something villainous even if its for a noble cause? Will supes ever trust him and will he feel betrayed when lex turns back to the dark? Its so engaging and im so happy its bimonthly as im always eager to read the next part.NathanWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11781662422366978398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-91236266618139139582017-01-16T09:46:50.727-05:002017-01-16T09:46:50.727-05:00First anonymous here

He h..."Here he sees aspects of Lois' life. He has never met General Lane. It seems like he has never even heard of the General."<br /><br />Gee, I wonder why his mother never talked about her father. "Back in our world your grandfather was a xenophobic, paranoiad prick who allied himself with a super-villain to exterminate a whole alien species and almost murdered your dad and your second cousin before you were born. Also, my big sister was so obsessed with pleasing him that she became a murderous, heartless bitch" doesn't sound like something you want to explain to your ten-year-old son.<br /><br />Clark and Lex marooned in an alien world. Fangirls must be going nuts right now. And writing shipping fanfiction.<br /><br />"And Superman isn't going to take any of Lex's guff. Even with normal strength, he still is able to floor Luthor with a right cross."<br /><br />It reminds me of "Up, Up And Away" when Lex thinks he can beat a powerless Superman with his bare fists.<br /><br />Lex defending Superman. I never believed I'd see the day.<br /><br />"Is the 'Luthor hates Superman/aliens for holding us back' belief still the foundation of Luthor's philosophy? Or has that gone away?"<br /><br />Maybe he will blame Superman for destroying his lab, ruining his experiment and causing his hair loss. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist :)<br /><br />Superman and Lex's new relationship is intriguing. I wonder how long it'll last.<br /><br />God, that Clark Kent is creepy. Maybe he isn't a real person but an Oz-created construct "cast in the mold of Clark Kent"?<br /><br />The last panel also brings to the forefront a big trouble that Clark and Lois will eventually have to deal with. Forget Lois impersonating her younger self. How will they explain to their co-workers that they are married and have a ten-year-old son?<br /><br />Off topic... I read that you were torn between reviewing a PAD issue or a Daring Adventures one. I would respectfully like to give my two cents (here, since I have no twitter handle). My suggestion is to go with Daring Adventures. Peter David's run has got plenty of accolades whereas the Bronze Age needs more love, and you always can review the David's issue in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
