    Default Superman Family Adventures 3!

    I was hoping there'd be a preview somewhere for this, but I don't see one.

    Best I can do is provide this link: http://www.dccomics.com/comics/super...y-adventures-3, but I'm definitely looking forward to it!

    I'm buying it.

    There is no reason why any Superman fan wouldn't pick this up and enjoy it for what it is, good simple fun. After all that is what Superman is all about. Right Predabot?

    I'll be getting it digitally probably, but I do agree it's a fun read.

    It really is way too simple for my taste even if the art is cute. Great for little kiddies. Nothing about it I find very original. I prefer reading something like Yale Stewart's online comic Little League...something that is executed for all ages but remains very smart...(wish DC would get him on a comic) plus its free.

    Oh, but it's funny, too.

    Like the part where spoilers:
    Krypto revealed why Superman no longer wears his red shorts
    end of spoilers,
    or when Lois and Clark are walking and spoilers:
    when Lois asks Clark if he'd like pink cotton candy or blue, he says "I like pink very much, Lois", which is a reference to a scene involving Superman's X-ray vision from the first Christopher Reeve Superman movie.
    end of spoilers

    I completely agree with this, like 100%. The art style of these Baltazar / Franco comics is really good, but they're just way too simple, and I agree that there really isn't much original or creatively inspiring. Little League is way better, it's genuinely funny with lots of character development, great dialogue, consistent storylines and drama that builds, etc. I find that Little League works even as a serious comic for adults but I can't read the Baltazar / Franco stuff.

    I bought the first two and said "No More". Waaaaay to simplistic and nothing to hold the attention of an adult. I love the simple old Golden Age and Silver Age stories but .....not this.

    Well. apparently this issue is PRETTY smart in terms of humor. I doubt little kids nowadays know the phrase "I like pink very much, lois" or the change of the suit of superman (I am refering that funny moment involving krypto and fuzzy ).

    I thought those parts were funny myself and I'm having a lot of fun with the book as well. It and Superman Beyond are the only Superman related books I'm reading currently.

    I'm finding Little League to be very enjoyable as well for the exact reasons you listed.

    Little League is flippin awesome man. They really do need to make that thing official or a back up to Justice League or something. That's a waste of talent man.

    Maybe Morrison could stick Little League and Superman Family Adventures nods in Multiversity.
