Both are likely possibilities.

I like the later option myself. By the time all the books reach issue #52, it won't be "new" at all. Plus, it'll be nearly 5 years since this whole New 52 thing...

Anyone remember the Blue Electro-Supes costume from the 90's and the Titanic ship from "All Star Superman" in Action #13 hidden among Clark's Fortress trophies? They were a "blink and you'll miss...

...and this is why SMALLVILLE is the best ongoing Superman comic book DC publishes bar none and why it's doing so well. Quality storytelling. (mostly) quality art.

Also, it's important to note...

While I would go that far to require creators via contract, I do miss the days of an Elliot Maggin,or a Dan Jurgens, or a Roger Stern, or a Jerry Ordway, or even a Jeph Loeb or Joe kelly, where a...

Ummm....who is saying you have to?

All I'm saying is let's not derail this thread into "The Donner Film Suuuuuucks!" thread. If you guys want to start a separate thread to discuss why you feel...

Seems like they are kinda sticking with the redesign Pete Woods gave him way back in UP UP AND AWAY.

With Johns and Frank era Brainiac popping up in THRESHOLD, Cyborg Supes and this...it seems...

When did this thread go from talking about and being excited about the new movie to "hey, let's bash the Donner Movie/Christopher Reeve, because it's 30 + years old and old stuff always...

There is no dispute that changing times have had a hand in Superman's profile being diminished in the 80's on. However, while the Byrne reboot did spike sales and bring in some new readers, it was a...

Pretty much my feeling too, but I wouldn't go as far to say it "killed" Superman, as he obviously is still being published and there's a gigantic summer blockbuster based on him coming out in about a...

I think he's breaking a chain. If you look carefully in the commercial, it looks like his arm is in a manacle.

The art wasn't exactly horrible. Not my cup of tea, but I liked the renderings of Luthor and Brainiac. Of course, I am partial to both of those designs anyway...

I agree. I got the FCBD Superman issue mainly for the Jim Lee cover, as I never managed to snag the variant to ACTION #1 and this is the next best thing. I like the LAST SON reprint, but it would...

I love every single one of these variants. I'm glad that DC is still acknowledging that yes, Superman once wore red briefs on his costume and that there were Superman comics published before...

I think Geoff Johns heavily implied that Brainiac destroyed Krypton, but never actually spelled it out. I think if Johns had stayed on ACTION it would have been followed up on,but with NEW KRYPTON...

Yeah, but the writing will be on the wall by the end of the year. It'll be clear that's where it's going. If Trinity War doesn't end it, it'll put a strain on their relationship that will manifest...

Hope springs eternal...but it's doubtful. That's the biggest problem with both Marvel and DC nowadays. It used to be that the stories were the event...now it's all about events. Character development...

I called this thing months ago...and why I haven't been too enthusiastic nor too angry about the pairing. All it has ever been was a plot point constructed all for the sake of a lead in to "Trinity...

You and me both, pal.

I really would like to see Tony Daniel continue or come back as the artist once Lobdell's short run ends. I REALLY like his New 52 Supes.

Kara was part of the original story too, but they didn't really show her stepping up to take over for Supes while he was away in the comics like they do here, but it's implied.

I downloaded it on...

Agreed. This looks awesome. Worried about the origin, but im glad they brought back the Superman motif more like the original version from "reign".

THIS.

Although the only change is that for the Print editions of ACTION and DETECTIVE I would keep the classic numbering, with the digital editions going to issue #1. While I have no problems with...

Hmm. I've never heard that before. I knew the first pitch of the Waid/Morrison/Peyer/Millar SUPERMAN NOW had a similar plotline to undo the marriage,and it was ultimately taken out of the final pitch...

Yeah the Steven T. Seagle run of Superman was pretty bad. Mcdaniels art also didn't work. It was a mess sadly, as was most of the Super-books around that time (2003).

I don't recall them changing any of the history. They were still working with what came before from 1986 onwards, they just shifted storyline focus and used the Y2K story to justify a visual revamp...

Lex, my friend...glad you are finally finding something to enjoy! :)
