Last issue was so, so good. This is all I'm looking forward to this week.
Feel the same. Geoff Johns is the man.
This issue doesn't progress the story much, but is very well written and what happens here is very important to the story. What is Ozymandias objective?! This is a small step back but very good.
Holy this issue was intense! Slow development but it has re-excited me for the next issue and how it will all wrap up!
Clearly you don't understand anything about the character of Superman. This issue is quintessential Superman and how he should always act and respond. It was a brilliant issue still just a part of a larger story. Firestorm has ALWAYS had the power to transmute matter but only now has it evolved beyond that. Powers evolve. Look at the X-Men and their random second mutations. But still this issue is the PERFECT example of Superman and Johns should be commended for his understanding and handling of the character.
That was by far the fastest paced issue yet. When I finished it the first time I actually said out loud, that's it? The second time through was just as enjoyable. The worst part, as always, is now that the story has picked up pace, there's a two month break.
I also really liked the "freshly squeezed orange juice" reference. Kudos to Johns for dropping the easter egg.
Superman 1 and 2. In one, he gets his thumb stuck in a Orange Juice squeezer. And in the 2nd he buys her a OJ during thier Niagara Falls trip.... Well I am not sure if he ever got that OJ for her.
Very intense issue. I really liked it. Can't wait for #9.
I've always had this negative attitude towards Superman, but this shows him in a way I didn't think he was capable of being (allowed to be) shown. I really enjoyed this issue.
I would highly recommend Geoff Johns Last Son Of Krypton, Superman Secret Origins and his Superman The Men Of Tomorrow. And also (not a Geoff Johns) American Alien.
Well then you have to include J. Micheal Straczynski's run on the regular Superman title, and also Superman: Earth One, also by Straczynski. Fantastic Superman stories.
I have yet to read any of J.Micheal S. work. I need to.
Do you use Hoopla? If you have a library card, you can download Hoopla and then access a whole lot of comics. Last I checked, all three volumes of Superman Earth One were available. It's awesome.
I need to check it out. We do have hoopla here.
Thanks for the recommendations. I will give some of them a go.
I really like the use of the heroes of other states. Also critical support for Black Adam
I'm reading 52 right now (all available via Hoopla for free) and I've really enjoyed the focus on Black Adam in that series. Lots of similarity in Doomsday Clock. Also, Kandhaq makes me think of Magneto's want to create a nation for mutants.
Basically. Critical support for Black Adam, Magneto, Cyclops, Static, and Colossus.
I recently started reading Doomsday Clock and all I have to say is whoa. This issues was absolutely insane. I wish I could re read this for the first time.
I am behind in reading but this series has been fantastic.
Pleas do yourself a favor and catch up. It really is something special IMO.
Another fantastic issue.
