Did anyone read Adventures of Superman, the digital first comic

Some was good, some was really bland. Not in the same league as LotDK. Also,

I enjoyed it overall. It had some really good stories in it, and it was interesting that, given the choice of any villain, a wide variety of authors ended up doing (a) Bizarro stories that were actually sympathetic and positive, and then (b) Metallo stories and (c) Luthor stories that were pretty consistent with canon but also ended up being interesting and different from canon, and finally (d) a large number of stories that used Brainiac.

I've participated in some story-times and story-timed a story myself, and brought up some stories when we've discussed Superman stories. I think it unfortunately suffered from existing at the same time as the New 52 and people who were Superman fans being turned off from DC in general at that time.

I'm not sure if that's 100% true since Superman Unchained was a huge best seller and the Earth One graphic novels all also sold well in the same time frame.

This got story-timed about 6 weeks ago and got a good response.

The best one was Keatinge's mentioned in >>90496708

Superman Unchained's main draw is Jim Lee and Scott Snyder in that order. And Earth One had the advantage of being acclaimed when the first volume was out (even though I didn't really like it) and that started before the New 52. I should really check the bookscan charts to see how Volume 2 and 3 did, though.

this is why I made the post
probably one of the best single issues of Superman I've read in a long time

As far as I can recall, all three volumes still made the best seller list on the Times. I didn't realize v1 pre-dated the 2011 launch as I read it afterwards.

Keatinge's was great. And I'll repeat what I said before - he expressed an interest in doing a Super book and wanted to do a take from that 3-parter. Since JMS can't/won't be doing any continuation of the Earth One novels, I'd really like it if they gave a three part contract to Keatinge - which wouldn't even have to negate JMS run because it would be, by necessity, a much older, more experienced Clark.

Or let Keatinge do something like The Coming of the Superman / Superman - American Alien.

That all said, I think there were other really excellent series. Flowers for Bizarro is really top five for that entire run. Tears for Krypton is good, Only Child is really excellent, as is Best Intent.

The Times list actually doesn't mean as much unless the book's been on there on a consistent basis. Like for instance the Steph Batgirl book (which I kinda liked) made it on there for a week and then dropped off. But I'll check to see how well the other two volumes did if I can find more info.

>Or let Keatinge do something like The Coming of the Superman / Superman - American Alien.

I think that would work more since like he said in an interview, his Adventures of Superman story would be the #0 to his ideal series.

I only ever read the Landis/Jock issue where Superman and Joker quip at each other, and it really turned me off to the series. Vol 3 is now in the mail tho

Yeah, Adventures was leagues above Legends
