I really love Grant's admiration for the character.
Also remember to keep the previous thread bumped for new readers just joining us.

What a colossal fuckup

Thanks OP
>>84999176
Grant knows everything past, present and future.
>>84999039
oh hey I remember this from Multiversity
Now back to your regularly scheduled Superman.
They really should give Fisch a non-kids book. These backups are great.
non-Rags issues and backups are such a relief
curse the Gods that he was given this project to ruin
>>84998932
That's such a great way to start, hahahah

Superbro is fucking cute
I miss superbro
>>84999176
It was a reference to the Seigel family and DC case.
>>84999191
God. I love everything about this universe. Black Sups is cool. Lex is Crazy but still kind of a good guy.
>>85000459
>Captain Comet
I remember when this guy was normal and fucking Starfire preFP
>>84999176
He probably did. After all, there were news reports years prior that said that WB approached him, Waid, and some others about a Superman film. It's probably no coincidence.
I always wondered if Waid did Irredeemable after finding out WB probably wanted to datken the character.
>>84998932
LMAO
EVERY SINGLE GODAMN TIME
>>85001443
How edgy and uninspiring muh supes would never do that
>>84999123
Morrison's Action Comics would be so much better if he had a better artist
>>84999123
Rags is great though.
>>85001492
>filler text
should just use squiggles instead
If you ignore some of the fuck ups with the art, I liked this better than All-Star.

Jesus, my dick
>>84998901
I would absolutely read an ongoing about Earth-23. Especially now in the last days of Obama's term, I think Super-Ex-President would be great to see.
And that's it for now. Just one final arc to go for this run of Action Comics. It's all led to this folks! Stay tuned for Superman vs. the Devil from Dimension 5!
I hate celebrities popping up in stories. Bothered the fuck out of me in BvS.
>>85002932
Thanks OP!
OP is the man

>Prez Rickard
Bravo, Morrison
>>84999092
Not the mini heroes!
Aren't theymachines anyway? And don't they, or at least the batman one, survive?
>>85008444
No. Everyone killed by Super-Doomsday stayed dead. That's why the Batman in Multiversity is Dick Grayson.
>>85008444
it's Dickbats in Multiversity
>>84999424
>Batman looks like some grumpy kid in the last panel.
>>84998932
Starting with racism right off the bat, huh?
>>85008749
What? No, they're explaining right out the gate that he's not racist. He just hates Superman.
>>84999713
This was a good little eulogy for clark

Is this a hint or something

This is so cheesy I love it
>>85001845
>dat zod text
Does he show up?
>>85009689
Yea that's pretty neat
>>84998901
Is this really Superbro's origin?
I'm mean, this isn't Superdad's origin but I think it (and maybe 3-4 other things) are the only part of the New 52 that I want them to retroactively keep even with whatever they have planned for Rebirth over the next two years.
>>84999039
>Super Obama is LITERALLY not born in the USA. he's ACTUALLY an Illegal Alien
I dont know if this is brilliant commentary or this was written expressly to say that its ok for that to be a thing
>>84999191
>Batman is still white
it's the little things
>>84999096
I love the fact that this version of "Martha" is wearing her pearls and "Jonathan" has a Malcolm X fedora.
>>84999123
>Chris Sprouse on backups
I'd love to see Sprouse do a regular run after the current arc of Superman is completed.
>>85000126
>red white and blue superman shits
I hadnt picked up on that before
thats pretty neat
>>84999253
So he knew The Cereal King was going to crush the dreams we all had after this second arc was finished?
>>84999340
Yup.
>>84999713
>>85008982
Yeah, but this reminds me of all the scenes in older comics and from (was it Perez's run as well here?) where the staff at the DP go out and tell Clark they went elsewhere, not realizing he can hear them....
>>85000781
this is the kind of cheese ive honestly missed
>>85000802
>puts on antiseptic latex gloves like a good professional

>>85000858
I loved this version of Captain Comet. I want to see a mini of his adventures with the other Neo Sapians and the Orrt-kind
>>85002111
>>85002129
>>85002150
I loved this entire section here. I could care less about shorts but if they could adapt this into an episode with the new Superman at the Fortress, rescuing Krypto from the 'Zone as well, up to and including the scene where the fly up to the sun, I could forgive Supergirl the rest of their season.
>>85002735
Morrison calling back to his own JLA run.
>>85002860
Multiversity, Too.
>>84999964
>>85009202
Yeah, it's a fucking shame that Goyer is writing and will be show-running Krypton. A good few seasons of a race of supermen who can do the impossible on a regular basis could be all kinds of cool.
>>85009738
>>85017755
Isn't Grant the one that wrote the Flash comic where he learns how to build an apartment building for all the people who were going to be homeless? I know that's also in a Superman arc as well, but in his case, it was a landlord who wanted to keep the building because Superman had constructed it better than any contractor could have.
>>85017642
What's he doing now anyway? Don't tell me he's being wasted on some garbage at Marlel.
>>85017913
He did a Millerworld thing for Image, and he's on Civil War II plus Hydra Cap, so yeah, he's being wasted.
Question time: I don't follow Rebirth very closely, since where I live they're publishing DCYou right now, is Superbro dead or not?
>>85018176
Yes. He died in the Death of Superman arc that just completed this past May.
We currently have New Super-Man (not SuperBro, nor Clark Kent).
An apparently human, non-Kryptonian, non-powered (and certainly not DE-POWERED) Clark Kent that should be explained/wrapped up in about two more issues of Action.
Pre-Flashpoint Superman (aka SuperDad), husband to Lois, Father to Jonathan, the current visibly powered, and Kryptonian Superman
An Eradicator AI (Rao only knows what or where that will lead)
People keep referring to 3 Supermen and I'm not sure what they mean and they are otherwise just confused.
>>85018254
is this the new Reign of Superman? Is there a chance for superbro to return from death then?.
Ah, so this isn't finished yet.
We haven't gotten to my favorite bits yet. When shit gets crazy.
>>84998901
What was the point of the Calvin Ellis story in this run anyways? Did he ever show up again, or was that just a lead-in to Multiversity?
>>85018254
When people say 3 Supermen I think of the three people who are actually calling themselves Supermen. Lex, SuperDad, and the Chinese guy whose name I don't remember yet.
>>84999151
>BECAUSE FUCK YOU THAT'S WHY!
>>85019537
It was for Superdoom.
>>85018254
>>85019561
you forgot new 52 Lois getting powers as well, and probably Lana too
>>85017904
Goyer wrote a good, albeit controversial superman short. He even co-wrote a good part of JSA. Unless he's made to write a dark script from WB execs, it should not be bad.
>>84999909
>Imagine if everyone had every name ever all at the same time
So that's a hint, right? Susie makes everyone have every name at the end, so everyone saying their name backwards has the same effect as Vyndtyx saying his name backwards.
Bumpu
>>85018488
Yes and yes.
>>85021758
Yes. That's why at the end she says how "Superman used my idea!"
another bump
>>84999511
what is up with you people with shitting on Rags?
this is no where near to the worst art i've seen on a flagship title on either Marvel or DC
honestly.
wanna talk about a Morrison run ruined by subpar art?
Animal Man, in all honesty I nearly dropped the book because of the chimp-looking faces everyone had on that run.
>>84999446
Oh, Batman. You're a dick.
You guys think Superbro will be back?
