Superman Year One

Product Information

It's also worth noting that it looks like this version of Baby Clark mind controlled the Kents into adopting him. The Nice House On The Lake— A horror comic by James Tynion IV, Alvaro Martinez Bueno, and Jordie Bellaire. Eleven friends go up to a nice house on the lake for a vacation... just in time for the apocalypse. The one who invited them, however, already knew this was going to happen. I used to be a very devoted fan of Miller's, decades ago, but that has decreased quite a bit these last few years. Not only because of his reduced output but the few things he has done just didn't have the edge it used to. In other words, I wasn't that excited to begin with about reading this and the bar wasn't set very high.

I just gave it away, but you have to ask Frank if he had that intention going in, or if he has that intention after what we just finished. I don’t want to say the word “finished,” let’s just put it that way. Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor— A three-part miniseries about the death of Lex Luthor written by Mark Waid and drawn by Bryan Hitch. Imagine if someone wrote the Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in the absolute worst possible ways. Superman as an arrogant ultra-strong, amazing alien to be looked up to who is motivated almost entirely by a sense of morality that isn't explained even partially, and who is a ladies' man almost to a fault. Batman as an illogical, arrogant vigilante who exists almost exclusively to be a foil for Superman. Wonder Woman as a five-second character who lusts after Superman with the fire of a thousand suns. Literally, that's her whole thing. It's so weird and offended me partly because it was such a long read to be this bad.

Maggin • Cary Bates •The comics based on Injustice 2 take place before the events of the sequel game itself. The comics feature Batman's attempt to reform the society after the fall of the One Earth Regime, Ra's al Ghul's rise to power and his plans to save the world from ecological destruction, Hal Jordan's redemption after following Superman's Regime, and Gorilla Grodd ruling over Gorilla City. Polygon reached out to both Marvel and DC representatives for comment or clarification on the companies’ internal stance on overt political content in its books, but did not receive responses by press time. The Justice League of America (JLA) had a year-long release detailing the origins of the team. This series was unique because it did not feature some of the long time favorites of DC at this point in time. Batman and Superman both had made active decisions to avoid being in the group. Wonder Woman was simply not introduced. That first issue is so Smallville focused, which has a really earthy feel to it, and then the second issue is Atlantis. So is there this elemental breakdown of each of these issues, where each one is going to have such a different feel to it? I'm not sure what exactly happened to make anyone think it would be a good idea to have Clark turn into a playboy, either. The whole thing is littered with the women in his life who are falling all over themselves to be with him.

The only reason anybody younger than 50 knew who Green Arrow was before Stephen Amell climbed a salmon ladder is due to Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams making him an out and proud liberal who crossed the country with Green Lantern as the “Hard Travelin’ Heroes,” busting bad guys and debating political philosophies along the way. Comics have always gone there. Peacemaker: Disturbing The Peace: A curious psychiatrist attempts to get into the mind of Christopher Smith, a.k.a Peacemaker. An extra-sized one-shot by Garth Ennis and art by Gary Brown. The mild mannered reporter Clark Kent was barely present in it. But maybe the focus was more on the Superman part.

I’ve said this a million times. My father told me, “Get used to the fact that there’s somebody better than you anywhere in the world. You’re not going to be the best artist in the world, so just accept it and then do the best you can.” I’m too busy trying to keep it on schedule, get it done on time, make sense of it, and not look stupid. “Don’t F this up.” Was the famous words of an astronaut. “Oh, lord, don’t let me F this up.” That’s the feeling I had when I was starting. Keeping to very minor spoilers, Clark spends a brief stint in the military. This is new, a modernization, but frankly it was boring, much like the rest of this. Yes, we know Clark has to hide his powers, yes we know he won't kill, blah blah blah. Towards the end, we get to see and hear Batman, but his dialogue was so oft-putting and cringe-worthy. Even more polarizing than Miller's version in All-Star Batman and Robin. It simply doesn't sound like Bruce. More of an angry thug. Miller's staccato captions, while giving an insight to what Kal El is thinking, just don't have the impact they used to. They previously were well placed, with specific phrases invoking specific feelings, but now it almost seems too much and not as effective and developing the right mood. The second issue has Superman in the Navy, which worked okay. He journeys to Atlantis, or at least part of Atlantis, to meet Lori Lemaris and Poseidon (no Aquaman.) Creepy part here is when Poseidon tells his daughter Lori she'll need to replace her mother and be his companion in "every way." And later he even explains further, which was really unnecessary. This was out of place. But what all this says to me is that, when it comes to certain creators and certain books, DC Comics is happy to allow political subtext become text. This sits in contrast to Marvel Comics. No orange skulls, only red

As long as you keep the editorial base, the need for the editors to get the character right, especially with a character like Superman, which… I don’t have the history with the character. But as long as I get those things correct, then we’re good to go in any direction. But I started off that way, and I got used to it. I liked that Clark kept his humility and scout outlook even when everyone was always either criticising him or questioning him. The comic does a good job at illustrating how much he has to restrain himself to avoid not only hurting others, but also becoming self-absorbed. Clark στον αμερικάνικο στρατό, η εξέλιξη είναι αρκετά προβλέψιμη, ενώ απουσιάζει και η πρωτοτυπία στην αφήγηση της καθημερινότητας του στρατού. Παρ’ όλο που ο Superman δεν είχε βρεθεί ξανά στο παρελθόν στον αμερικάνικο στρατό, το πέρασμά του από αυτόν δεν ήταν τελικά ιδιαίτερα αξιοσημείωτο. Μάλιστα, το γεγονός ότι τη μόνη φορά που παρουσιάζεται ο αμερικάνικος στρατός στο πεδίο της δράσης βρίσκεται αντιμέτωπος με μουσουλμάνους τρομοκράτες προδίδει τις ιδεολογικές εμμονές που έχει αναπτύξει ο Frank Miller στα έργα του τα τελευταία χρόνια. John Romita, Jr.: At some point, Dan Didio had proposed an idea in the infancy of this and had discussed it with Frank, and they talked about possibly expanding Frank’s Year One format to Superman. But ironically, I think they felt that fans thought Frank didn’t like Superman, because of the way he treated him in the Batman format. And Frank says, “I love the character.”

Action Comics • Superman • Adventures of Superman • Superman: The Man of Steel • Superman: The Man of Tomorrow • Superman/Batman • Other titles... I gotta say, Wonder Woman giving him that weepy-eyed look as he flies out the window made me throw up in my mouth a little.
