Review: Tangent: Superman's Reign Vol. 2 trade paperback (DC Comics)

16 Nov 2009 06:02:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (collectededitions)
I like Dan Jurgens' writing, don't get me wrong. Not only did he pen stories from one of my favorite eras of Superman (and that's before Death of Superman, but also I've dug his Tangent concept and comics through three individual volumes and the first part of Tangent: Superman's Reign.

Review: Superman: New Krypton vol. 1 & 2

12 Nov 2009 15:35:29 PST

Written by Michael C. Lorah
Superman: New Krypton vol. 1 and 2, they’re okay. Not great, but not terrible. If you dig Supes like I do, it might be enough, but just barely. We’ll have to see how the wallet feels when it comes time to invest in another round of the Metropolis Ace’s adventures.

Opinion: Nostalgia November Day 03 -- Superman Annual #3

Written by Chad Nevett
Beyond that, the end of the issue is meant to be a reversal of the end of The Dark Knight Returns, except Batman doing the government's dirty work to take down Superman isn't believable the way it was the other way around. Batman operates outside of the law with more abandon than Superman, eve...

Written by noreply@blogger.com (collectededitions)
The collected Superman: Brainiac follows a string of Action Comics successes for Geoff Johns, but this may be the best of the library. Johns and then-Superman writer Kurt Busiek effectively rebooted the Superman franchise with Up, Up, and Away and Last Son, but on the eve of the "New Krypt...

A good argument could be made that Warner Home Video's long-awaited release of a stand-alone DVD edition of the Max Fleischer/Famous Studios Superman cartoons is no big deal. After all, all 17 of these cinematic gems were already included in the massive Superman: The Ultimate Collector...

Of course, in addition to the beautiful character moments, there are a great many other things to love in this volume. Many of the themes explored in the current New Krypton also appeared in Chapter 9 “Curse of the Replacement Supermen, ” on a much smaller, but still very effective scale. Sup...

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Jeff Lester)
To put it plainly, Superman Beyond #2 is really, really clever. I mean, it's absurdly fucking clever: Not only do you have a 3-D comic book in which Superman must be joined with Ultraman, his symmetrical opposite, to travel to the higher reality of the monitors (a plot point that is analogou...

Superman Beyond #2 Review

25 Jan 2009 00:49:48 PST

Written by Brian Cronin
Anyhow, I sure did love seeing the first (and possibly greatest) superhero fighting a bad guy with not just his fists, but with inspiration for stories written about Superman - I enjoyed the spotlighting of the importance of Superman.

Comic Book Review: Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom #1

12 Nov 2008 05:30:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Thom Kallor)
Since last week's episode of Smallville featured the teamup of Clark and Supergirl, I thought it would be fitting to review the first issue of the new Superman/Supergirl mini-series. The Smallville episode was good, I hope that this story is as good. When Supergirl looks up, more cars are being thrown at her. Supergirl bats them aside and demands to know who is doing this. Maelstrom is standing in the middle of the road. She wants Superman. Supergirl attacks her. Maelstrom beats up Supergirl. A battered Supergirl pulls herself from the wreckage. She wants to help the survivors. Superman has already helped them. She collapses. Superman picks her up and flies off. He is going to do what he should have done a long time ago.

Review: Superman: The Third Kryptonian trade paperback (DC Comics)

30 Oct 2008 06:02:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (collectededitions)
Kurt Busiek's Superman: The Third Kryptonian finally hit the mark for me. I enjoyed the first part of Busiek's Superman: Camelot Falls, but found the second volume too esoteric and "talky" for its own good. With Third Kryptonian, however, Busiek offers the super-intelligent Superman th...

Comic Book Review: Superman: New Krypton Special #1

27 Oct 2008 06:35:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn)
We hop over to the Daily Planet where Jimmy is sitting there waiting for Clark. Jimmy tells Lois that he has something important to talk to Clark about. Lois says that Clark is busy helping out his mother so it is best that Jimmy not talk to Clark for a while. Lois notices that Jimmy is extremely bothered. Lois then tells Jimmy that he can trust her and tell her whatever he wanted to talk to Clark about. Jimmy then recounts the events told in Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen Special #1. Jimmy says that the bottom line is that the military is amassing all sorts of Kryptonite weaponry. Lois comments that the military wants a way to defeat the Kryptonians. Jimmy adds that the military project is designed to defeat just one Kryptonian: Superman. Jimmy thinks that t...

Comic Book Review: Action Comics #870

09 Oct 2008 11:45:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn)
Brainiac says that Earth has robbed Superman of his potential. That Superman is far from being a Kryptonian. That Superman is nothing more than a simple brute. Superman answers back “When I need to be.” Superman then proceeds to beat the crap out of Brainiac. Richard Donner is a fantastic movie director. And Donner’s 1978 Superman movie is one of my all-time favorite comic book movies. And, yes, for me Christopher Reeves IS Superman. Superman already has the proper motivation and outlook on life. Superman already knows right from wrong. Superman already has a strong moral compass and a keen sense for Truth, Justice and the American Way.

Opinion: Brendan Fraser: I Could Have Been J.J. Abrams' Superman!

12 Sep 2008 07:30:00 PDT

Even when he's "you-killed-my-wife" angry, you can see a glimmer of a smirk in his big doe-eyes. Sorry, Fraser would have been to Superman what George Clooney was to Batman. Fraser did, however, get a chance to see the Abrams' Superman script which he called deemed far superior to the Superm...

Comic Book Review: Final Crisis: Superman Beyond #1

30 Aug 2008 15:20:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn)
We zip back in time to the scene in Final Crisis #3 with Clark at Lois’ bed side. Clark thinks how he would do anything to save Lois. Suddenly, the mysterious woman from Final Crisis #3 enters the room. Her name is Zillo Valla. Zillo Valla freezes time and tells Superman that if he helps her than she will help him. Superman and the Monitor board the Ultima Thule and they take off. Zillo Valla suddenly exclaims that something is wrong. We see a German Superman named Overman on the ship as well as Captain Marvel and a chrome Superman named Adam Allen. The multiple versions of Superman are all using their powers to fly the Ultima Thule.

Comic Book Review: Countdown to Final Crisis #3

10 Apr 2008 07:30:00 PDT

Written by Rokk Krinn
Superman appears on the scene along with Kyle, Donna and Forager. Superman punches Darkseid and then comments that Mary could use a better role model. Superman and Darkseid engage in a titanic brawl. Superman vows to put Darkseid down once and for all. Jimmy then begins to glow with green Kryptonite. Superman crumbles to the ground. Jimmy is horrified and exclaims that Darkseid is controlling him. That Jimmy has absolutely no control over his powers. Darkseid tells Jimmy that he can now watch his best friend die. Personally, if Didio really felt the need for a female villain to compliment Superman-Prime then I would have much preferred that Supergirl play this role rather than Mary Marvel. At least it would have made a bit more sense for Supergirl...

Tim’s “Kara” Review

08 Oct 2007 13:24:39 PDT

Written by Tim
This episode of Smallville introduced a critical player in the Superman mythos, and that is the character of Kara Zor-El AKA Supergirl. Supergirl is a much varied character which has had many origins throughout the Superman comics ever since she was in the 70’s. The origin Smallville is go...

Johns and Busiek take the opportunity in Up, Up, and Away to bring three or four of these villains back, but surprisingly without any of the characterization that Johns usually brings to his villains. Instead, the villains are hurled en masse at Superman in an ultimately unresolved subpl...
