Huh, I really liked it. I appreciate the moral ambiguity of not being sure which characters are heroes and which are villains. I don't need clearly delineated good guys and bad guys, and it wasn't...

Just read it. I liked it a lot. I think there is real potential.

Just two nits that I have to pick. On page 6, the pastor says that it's going to freeze that night, then on page 7 the police...

Even as a kid watching Superfriends I thought the invisible plane was dumb, but it's so much a part of her franchise I don't think you can really get rid of it. Ascended is right that it doesn't...

You can't insult a fictional character. Superman doesn't care. He's not real.

An insult to whom?

Bleeding Cool has run stories saying that September will be "Villains' Month" at DC. Someone in another thread suggested that maybe opening Pandora's Box will somehow affect the villains of the DCU....

Interesting. I wonder if there will be any followup between Barry and Nelson. I could easily see DC doing it as nothing but a tease for "Flash" readers, one of those fake cliffhangers where...

So no one wants to answer either of my questions? Maybe no one knows about Santolouco, but I know someone's read "The Flash" recently!

Oh, and Batman looks like his origin might be changing, with the upcoming "Zero Year" arc replacing the old "Year One" origin. So I guess "Batman" was rebooted, even though no one knew.

Superman was completely rebooted. His origin story was told in Action Comics #5. Most of the New 52 lines didn't start with an origin in the very first issue, I'd say, though some of them covered the...

He did? I'd be interested in reading that. Where did he say it?

I hope he's working on a Shazam ongoing. I think Johns is a pretty solid writer, but he has his strengths and weaknesses like anyone...

I thought it was a good issue, but I do still miss Santolouco's art. Does anyone know why he left the book?

I haven't been reading "Flash" so I'm curious how much it really crosses over. Should I...

Superman got a complete reboot with the New 52, so there really isn't much to read for background. Grant Morrison's "Action Comics" run was sort of an origin story/Year One type deal, but it was also...

The radio show was awesome! I've been downloading and listening to them. The early ones are boring, but once you get to the later era (roughly WWII and later, when the show was broadcast live instead...

This is false. The Queen of Canada is a separate legal entity from the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. They are two separate offices that happen to be occupied by...

That's easy. The public school he attended required all students have their eyes checked. But young Clark failed the eye exam when he unexpectedly experienced a surge in his developing x-ray power...

For most practical purposes that is correct, but even after 1931, the British Parliament still controlled the Canadian constitution. Canada had little control of its constitution until 1949, and...

True, but in Canada in the 40s wasn't even a fully independent and sovereign state, and rightly or wrongly was never influential enough on the world stage to serve as a model for other countries....

They absolutely have roots going back to the early 20th century, and well before. But they also owe something to America's experiences in WWII. The Nazis did a lot to give racism and hate a bad name,...

I'd be a little uncomfortable with Superman being promoted as representative of "the American way" today, because those are clearly not uniquely American values now. I'm also not sure I'd want...

Huh, I thought the asynchronicity was a great idea. I've always thought that for both Superman and Batman some stories work best without the Justice League and a hundred or more other heroes running...

I think it's important to recognize that it's not a Cold War slogan, but a WWII slogan. America in the 1940s was far, far from perfect, but also much more unique in standing for liberty and...

WOW! I was skeptical, since I don't know Diggle's work and I really didn't like his planned vampire plot, but that was amazing! Best Lois I can remember seeing, and maybe the best Superman/Clark...

I've loved the art, especially Mateus Santolouco on the early issues. I was worried his leaving would ruin the comic, since his style was so unique and well suited to the story. I still miss seeing...

Is there a ring for apathy?
