I agree thatMorrison is ...Thanks for the comments.<br /><br />I agree thatMorrison is probably being given a lot of leeway here with this book. Sometimes that's good. Sometimes that's inscrutable.<br /><br />So can he tie up all these wild ideas eventually into a cohesive Superman that the future will be built on? I hope so.<br /><br />I was half-kidding about this shirt colors Mart. I hope it isn't GL-based. But there is no denying that this red-shirted Superman is the most rage-filled we have seen.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-50121709253121997562012-06-09T20:08:33.241-04:002012-06-09T20:08:33.241-04:00In effect Kal El has three secret identities, Clar...In effect Kal El has three secret identities, Clark Kent, The Vigilante and Imperial Superman with the second empire uniform.<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-85247008416494690112012-06-09T15:58:01.792-04:002012-06-09T15:58:01.792-04:00I loved this issue.

You weren't serious about the tee shirts reflecting his emotions, we're you? Please God the GL business doesn't infect this book. <br /><br />But yeah, so much going on, and little Easter eggs such as the Swan bar and Gregory Reed on the cinema board. I'm still wondering if Mrs N is a new version of Mxy's girlfriend, undercover!<br /><br />The scene with Clark, Lois and Jimmy was my favourite, that easy friendship was gorgeous to see. It made me think of the alternates who came into the President Superman storyline. <br /><br />And the back-up was great too.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-6540763490049116562012-06-09T15:02:00.401-04:002012-06-09T15:02:00.401-04:00Re.

Supposedly pre 2004 Avika Goldstein was conjuring with an Earth Angel Supergirl movie script but the project went nowhere.<br />Likely this project will end the same way.<br />I'd like to see Supergirl become a popular film franchise but I think she has some brand identification problems with the non comics buying public.<br />On the other hand I've always maintained that she is a natural for television, either animated or live action. Just keep the producers of "Smallville" far away from the project...<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-83770736649553844792012-06-09T14:28:46.207-04:002012-06-09T14:28:46.207-04:00Hi:

Ten issues in this is a very unreasonable and thoughtless approach for a book that is supposed to be appealing to the mainstream audience of new readers. Morrison needs a stronger editor in my view as as with his Batman and Final Crisis work I have the impression that he's being given a completely free reign to follow his muse with no one interjecting and offering some constructive criticism and guidance - i.e. an Editor.<br /><br />I liked the plots this issue, so many intriguing plotlines being set up - the notion there was a mystery 'Superman' operating before Clark, the mystery of 'Mr Mxyzptlk', Lana Lang's current status, but on the flipside I had trouble rationalising why the leg breaker T-shirted vigilante Superman is operating in tandem with Idealist-Superman in his shiny armoured guise. IT is very noticable that there is a brick wall between the reader and what's going on in Clarks head, and this made the book hard to follow. Morrison is throwing ideas out there like confetti but to a reader I'm not confident it is all making any narrative sense - how can you possibly tie together the focus on this young proto-Superman with the looks into alternate earths and possible futures we've been served with? The shifts between streetlevel vigilantism and dips into cosmic saga's we don't fully understand. It's a book that's all over the place as a narrative.<br /><br />I think the problem I'm having with the books approach is summed up by Clark Kent bluntly being announced as Dead and gone. Presumably the result of the explosion. But if that's the case where's the necessary body or remains? Why is Clark suddenly <i>dead</i>? It's simply because Morrison says so. Just like everything else. It is 'so' just because Morrison tells us it is and <i>we</i> should join all the necessary dots to make this make sense, not him.<br />I'm getting tired of it.Dave Mullenhttp://www.comicboards.com/superman/noreply@blogger.com
