In ''Superman (volume 1) #165: The Sweetheart Superman Forgot'', Superman loses his memory and becomes Jim White, a cowboy working in a ranch. I wonder if the "Clark White" name is a reference to that Silver Age story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-85101265844723197392017-02-04T21:54:22.225-05:002017-02-04T21:54:22.225-05:00Thanks for comments.

But it was then rushed ending that was the sore spot.<br /><br />Wish there was more the The climax.<br /><br />Procoehcy being a Brainiac is an interesting idea!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-4265088153784357222017-02-04T14:38:16.307-05:002017-02-04T14:38:16.307-05:00Martin: I enjoyed the story very much.

It was a nice set up for the next arc, and if the regular team is on the book without multiple artists, all the better.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-83094426313332080182017-02-04T10:27:29.095-05:002017-02-04T10:27:29.095-05:00I seem to have enjoyed it more than most, maybe I&...I seem to have enjoyed it more than most, maybe I'm just a sucker for big, bombastic stories. I am really looking forward to having some mysteries solved, even as I'm enjoying the riddles themselves.

Very ...I really didn't like the art this issue. Very inconsistent, particularly the Super-Demon. I might not have care if the story hadn't ended so abruptly. I think the takeaway here is that the new Superman is an anomaly.<br /><br />The cover certainly was an homage to COIE#12, but the heroes were drawn badly, look at Sunshine Superman. That was always my biggest problem with the new52, multiple artists and inkers who don't even know what Super-Demon looks like. Three editors can't straighten this out.<br /><br />I loved the story arc, and am looking forward to Superman Reborn. I assume this would happen with the twice monthly status of the book. And the Superman book likely has to synch up with The Button stories that will appear in Flash and Batman.<br /><br />Interesting to think that Prophecy is Superman from another Earth. My thoughts was possibly a Brainiac from another Earth. I do agree with you, there is no reason to believe that he came from New Earth. Prophecy had stopped at other worlds first. I dunno.<br /><br />Great review, Anj.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-68279924671064150312017-02-03T10:08:30.846-05:002017-02-03T10:08:30.846-05:00Addendum:

Now how about some Superman and Supergirl moments??"<br /><br />I'm craving for SM/SG interaction, but now I know when it's coming I can afford to be patient. It's not easy, though.<br /><br />Sigh. Only two more months. We can do this.<br /><br />I agree with the conclusion feeling rushed and inadequately explained. Maybe Tomasi needed to get this arc out of the way quickly so as to be ready for the incoming crossover?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
