Superman #27 Storytime

thank you :)

>>93981479
This is amazing

>>93981413
WTF does Superman even need to sleep?

>>93981421
Guess even a man powered by the sun needs some sleep.

>>93981499
>that bumper sticker
>on this site
Well it was a good storytime while it lasted, huh?

>>93981424
I love this

No offense, but I want to see Superman punch meteors and monsters, not give us a fucking history lesson.

>>93981499
> Shit is going to get good.

>>93981560
the book is so good.

>>93981421
I'm probably more miffed by this than I should be. It's Superman falling asleep at the wheel. Luckily there wasn't anyone where he fell.


That we know.

Thanks for reading.
Support your local comic shop!

I loved this issue. Of course the Kent family would have a patriotic 4th of July vacation.

>>93981560
>want to look at the stars and make out
perfect

>>93981373
Well that was wholesome as fuck

Shame it got pushed back from its initial July 5th release because this would've been a perfect supplement for Independence Day

>>93981557

Giving John the lessons he needs so that he can he understands when its his turn.

>>93981505
Yes.

Literally last week I was reading Wolfman's Superman he there's one story where he gets fucked for not sleeping for days.

>>93981533
Okay, now it's gotten too cheesy. I work at a restaurant, and I shouldn't be agreeing with the hostess more than Superman. Superman of all people. Now I feel bad for doing my job.

>>93981653

Do that shit off page. I read Superman to see Superman do... you know, super things. Not masturbate with the stars and stripes. Even Captain America doesn't splooge this hard into Uncle Sam's open mouth.

>>93981674
That's what Action Comics is for, mate.

>>93981674
>>93981557
This makes you sound extremely shallow

>>93981668
I won't you let the guy eat at your restaurant?

>>93981668
Is it because he was begging or do people get upset about handicap people?

>>93981691
Also the 26 issues that came before this. Well, maybe not the one where they go to the county fair, but pretty much every other Superman issue before this has had some kind of monster punching in it.

>>93981751
I really like Tomasi's penchant for fun cooldown issues in between arcs. He did the same thing in Super Sons with the last issue and it was great.

This issue was great, Superman and Action have been such great reads since rebirth never been much of a Supes fan before either

I fucking hate jon, every superman book focuses on him and he's so annoying

>>93981748
Depends on the restaurant.

>>93981499
Since when is an Ankh a wiccan symbol,

That shits ancient egyptian, maybe pagan if you want to be creative.

>>93981504
Skipping leg day, eh, Clark?

>>93981837
Never heard of that one. I knew some new age people used it back in the day. Coptic Egyptian use it for their cross in some cases.

>>93981572
Is this setting up for the seven soldiers?

>>93981748
Probably because he is a hobo. I've seen restaurants refusing to serve hobos.

>>93981557
well then Superman was never for you

>>93981424

Everything about this page fills me positivity and good emotions. I forgot what they where called. Happ..something.

Comfy issue. Why is Supes so comfy bros?

>>93981837
Wiccan is basically just an amalgam of multiple pagan traditions. The Ankh is one of several commonly used symbols. A big part of wicca is freedom to worship whatever you want and how you want.

>>93981674
Truth, Justice and what was that third one again fucko?

>>93981668

Why? So long as the guy doesn't cause a scene it shouldn't be an issue

Forget Sharon, I'd rather be entering Lois

That was a really weak issue. Feels like kids cartoons obligatory overly preachy episode.

So I haven't read any of the big two in forever and while I really liked this comic can someone get me up to speed as to how and why Superman is a daddy now.

And don't make a sex joke, that's old hat.

>>93982073
TL;DR timefuckery and they were outside the DCU when Jon was born. There was some weird stuff with Rebirth where it was revealed Superman was split in two (New 52 version and "Post-Crisis") but that's been sorted out and Clark is whole again.

>>93982046
lul, it's real

>>93982073
>Pre-Flashpoint Lois and Clark appear in "Convergence".
>Clark has lost his powers and is acting as a vigilante in one of Brainiac's bottled cities. Lois acts as his Oracle.
>Powerless Clark knocked Lois up. She is 9-months pregnant when we first see her.
>After Convergence, Pre-Flashpoint Lois and Clark are the only things that DC recognizes from the event. Jurgen's writes a mini explaining how they ended up in the New 52 world and have been living there for 10 years raising their son.
>New 52 dies, Pre-Flashpoint Clark becomes the main Superman in "Rebirth"
Basically.

>>93981557
Superman being a dad is the theme of this series. Good dad's teach their kids.

If you want Action, read Action Comics. It's actually kinda fun.

New 52 didn't really "die", they were the same person.

>>93981889
They definitely do that around here. They might have tossed in the Coexist thing for the lefties, but this scene was a American heartland right as it gets. Read this after a week of Marvel SJW shit and get the stench outta your mouth.

I fucking hate all these faces but none more than his "lois from the side"

>>93981544
Well, it's not like they were the established army trying to defend their own coutnry you were unlawfully invading or anything, Ryan

>>93982139
Can Superman hold a third book? I would like to see "Action Comics" as the Metropolis book (Lex, Perry, Jimmy and all that), "Superman" mainly focused on solo adventures and a third book focused on Lois and Jon.

Back in the 90's Supes had, like, five books of his own. More than any other character.

>>93982215
it's not just 2 its also supergirl and superwoman and chink superman and trinity and super sons and jl

>>93981424
>>93981479
God dammit I love the super family

>>93981450
I can't decide which one is hotter at the top panel

>>93982232
Supergirl fucking sucks. Give me mid-00s Kara back. Fuck, give me N52 Kara.

>>93982232
Yeah, but I'm talking about Clark as a protag.

Back in the day he had "Action Comics", "Superman", "Adventures of Superman", "Superman: the Man of Steel" and "Superman: The Man of Tomorrow", plus Superboy, Supergirl and all that.

>>93982232
Superwoman should've ended. It doesn't really have a point anymore.

>>93981424
>sleeping with boots on
Dropped

>>93981544
Jon asking the important questions

>>93981960
You say that but their actions are the kind of thing anyone would do (or at least could do)

>>93981551
>>93981560
Fuck this is comfy
>>93981557
Its a special, like Christmas and Halloween, they will probably go back to the usual stories after it

>>93982068
That's Tomasi in a nutshell. He tries to write character driven stories without any character development.

>>93982086
Not really. This isn't about connecting with the common people, it's preaching to your kid about history on a roadtrip.

>>93981557
you can see both.

>>93982185
They don't want hobos getting invited inside because:

1 - Their presence can throw some clients off.
2 - They don't want hobos in front of the restaurant begging people to get them inside.

>>93982172
topkek

>>93981557
Then go read Action Comics you fucking Numpty. I am loving these family based stories.

Damn that was comfy as fuck.

Maybe my second favorite issue of the entire run after #7, and I'm not even American and usually hate their patriotic shit. I just love seeing them all as a family doing family stuff.

>mfw if this was a Marvel book it would've been about Jon lecturing his dad on how the buildings were built by slaves so he refuses to go in

>>93981557
Look, I get the feeling, but you don't have reason to complain. He is fighting Zod, Mongul, Cyborg Superman, Metallo and Eradicator at the same time in "Action Comics". You can't go bigger than that.

>>93982215

Yeah he could probably hold a third book. What would you do to make it distinct though? Superman covers the family life, Action is fittingly for Action. Should we bring back Adventure Comics?

>>93982422

Well it's not anything that's uniquely american. Respect your forefather's sacrifices, don't be a dick to the guys fighting etc. Those kind of lessons are pretty universal. It's just a guy wanting to give his son a good sense of morals.

>>93981870
Could be bringing back Unknown Soldier.

>>93981557
You disagreed with someone on 4chan and did so politely, Anon.

I figure Superman is doing his job.

>>93981489
Huh. Never knew about Deborah Sampson. Neat.

>>93982533

Really? It also stood out to me because well, stories where things generally end well for the woman in question are pretty rare

>>93982533

I swear every country has a secret female soldier story. It's a prominent as the "faithful Hound"

>>93982210
My thoughts exactly. I mean, I get that he wanted to do something patriotic for July 4th...

>>93982554
>>93982210

Not the soldiers fault guys. I agree about the wars though

>>93982210
Note the guy isn't judging the Iraqis.

>>93982422
I think you're (still?) grossly exaggerating Marvel's crap, but this issue is IMO great at showing patriotism as opposed to jingoism.

>>93981450
Goddamn! Those are some huge kryptonian super nips.

>>93981402
>will Dark multiverse destroy DC
we can hope

>>93981424
Beautiful page, honestly now I remember why I loved Superman when I was a child.

>>93982600
To be fair that is exactly what happens with the black MJ in the homcoming movie, except that she is lecturing her teacher instead of her dad.

>>93981551
I hope Clark didn't waste that marshmallow

>>93981560
>You will never date anyone as good as Clark

>>93981499

You saw what it did to them

>>93981544
>saving private ryan (from homelessness and poverty)

>>93981674
i'm fairly anti-american, but the values this comic promote are universally valued traits like hardwork, courage, responsibility and respecting those who sacrifice in service, however misguided their attempts might have been. it's not like superman is helping the cia topple a foreign government.

>>93981551
>yfw you are superman and your kid chooses the Flash T-shirt at gift shop

>"at least wasn't golden booster"
>no actual face cause this is a story time, no image dumps

>Multiverse vs one Universe

Step up your game Dark Multiverse.

>>93981557
Action Comics brah. This issue was meant to come out during the 4th obviously and was a breather issue after Supes basically spent 4 issues punching shit like you wanted. After this he's teaming up with Sinestro and then going to Apokolips with Lex.

>>93981505
There's also that sequence in Our Worlds At War where he's been fighting for days nonstop and is weirdly responding to comments with out of context answers, like drilling right through an Imperiex drone as he's saying "Superman doesn't kill."

>>93981439
D'aww.

>>93981450
>Iced Tea

Jon really is a farmboy.

>>93981489
I am absolutely okay with this STRONG FEMINIST story, because she actually fucking did something with a serious risk for a real purpose.

>>93981560
Kek smooth one Clark.
>>93981373
Pretty decent issue overall I'm glad the next couple of arcs are more action packed though.

No, but seriously... nice on DC for respecting everyone's opinion in this one. Women, religious minorities, and actual soldiers who fought and died.

>>93981505
Silver Age he didn't. He could never get tired or run out of energy.

He does get tired in the modern age.

Kind of fun neat trick, honestly.

>>93982345
>>93982185
>>93981889
Speaking as someone in Washington DC, you don't get "hobos who fought in the war" here. You get hobos with either A) severe mental problems who are a danger to themselves and others and B) hobos who are perfectly healthy and would literally rather prefer to stand out in the rain holding a sign than actually have a job. Not even being edgy or /co/ when I say this - I'm a librarian and work around these people daily. Some folks really will do ten times the work it takes to get out of work that could be done easier in the first place.

>>93981505
>>93983777
There was at least one Silver Age story that shows that even though he doesn't tire physically, going for too long without sleep can mess with his head anyway.
In that particular story, the result of Superman going without sleep for so long was a temporary split personality that kept trying to kill Clark Kent.

>>93981513
This is interesting in the face of groups working to tear down Confederate statues.

>>93981544
Sigh. I'm very pro-vet, but the last 20-years or so of wars have been so awful, it's conflicting. I guess that isn't a /co/ issue though.

>>93981394
That lee weeks? Great fucking cover. Though I think it would have made more sense to cover an issue in the fall.

>>93981517
...and they were all bombed out of their minds the WHOOOOLE time.

The area was in the midst of a massive heat wave at the time, and pretty much every beverage one could partake in as the only way to cool down (aside from stripping down once you got back to your room at night) was highly alcoholic.

So pretty much every signee of the DoI was at least 3/4 drunk the entire time they were there.

History!

>>93983854
Really? Neat. I brought up infinite energy because the Gardner Fox JLA story about the league fighting their robot clones had Superman beat his clone by racing it to death-the explanation saying that eventually with enough time anything will break down except Superman who never gets tired.

>>93983806
>Terrorists somehow crashed a plane into the two towers in a world with several FTL supergods, powerful magicians capable of scrying, and The Specter.

Is there a book with all of these recent superfamily stories combined?
This is the creme de la creme of Superman, This is why it's so fucking good. I'd read hundreds of stories of the superfamily having fun if I could

>>93981557
There's room for both, but not when it's poorly written in-your-face pandering to people who use the word "comfy" as a designation of quality. This issue might be better than the grimdark edginess that's around, but it's just as hollow and obvious.

>>93984490
FRANKLIN NEEDS MORE PUSSY!!

>>93984391
i mean yeah, that's one of my main issues with comics, it's ok when comic book history mirrors our up until a certain point, but contemporary happenings still happening in a world where the jla exists is just bizarre.

>>93984605
I thought it worked. Just because a scene elicits positive emotions and makes you happy doesn't mean its shallow Anon.

How was the issue shallow?

>>93981373
Nice cover.

>>93984758
It read like an old government mandated PSA. Positive emotions are fine, especially with Superman, but without a story to weave them into it just comes off as pandering.

>>93981394
The regular cover is actually better than the variant cover this time.

>>93984832
The story was them taking Jon on a vacation while educating him about America. The didactic bits fit the context of a mother and father educating their kid.

>>93981421
this doesn't make any sense

>>93984841
Jime gave us the two most american covers for July. Love the dude.

>>93981479
heh

>>93984799
what?

>>93984866
Why not? He dozed off and fell. Seems to make sense.

>>93981479
I always wondered if Superman would use his powers to do crazy shit like that.

Has Lois Lane done anything as a reporter since Rebirth?

All I've seen has been Mom and Momma Bear stuff alternating. Like, I like that she and Clark seem to be co-leads... but it's not like Clark is only being Superman for Dad-Related purposes.

>>93981560
Can he drink now? Did that dumb editorial mandate get shut down?

Good.

>>93984850
And that's an obvious and boring story that would only make sense if the book was about educating its young audience.

>>93981557
I kind of like this issue. It's a breather after the heaviness of the last arc which involved lots of monsters and meteors

>>93984909
She's waiting to get back to metropolis. She tried joining the local paper in the Frankenstein issues and they were in Metropolis at the Planet in.... I forget which issue. Might even have been Super Sons. But she's stuck on the wrong side of the country from her traditional employer and they've been getting read to head back to metropolis since rebirth began. Though, even if it's been a irl year, I don't think it's been more than a few months in Hamilton.

>>93983848
Well that must make it easier to never help anyone in need, anon.

Maybe you should be Superboy's dad.

>>93984391
That's non-canonical. 9/11 didn't happen because Captain Atom stopped the planes.

Not at all, because what's investing people in the story isn't the factoids but how Lois and Clark interact with their son.

This issue just seems pointless. Like it's THE most unnecessary issue of the entire series BY FAR. There's just no reason for it to exist.

sure but what was the excuse, "iraq is harboring known super-villains"?

actually, you know what, why oil? aren't there people who can fuel all kinds of tech with weird sci-fi generators in comic books? why would america invade iraq when they can seize luthor's assets or something.

there's nothing southern about that, my non american friend. If you are american you shouldn't have slept through school.

Im pretty sure the cover is specifically recreating a piece from the revolutionary war era. It also resembles images of the Pied Piper.

But since you're an eleven year old black girl its somehow offensive?

I don't know where he hails from, I know he speaks spanish first and foremost (so it seems from social media), but the dudes celebrated the US this month with these covers very well.

>>93985038
Its making John into a person capable of handling the mantle when his time comes.

>>93985241
Not a thing I said was /pol/. You're the one saying an innocuous image is controversial based on /pol/ reasoning.

>>93985092
You better be fucking joking. It's not even controversial at this point to admit that war was 100% for Israel

Welp, that issue was boring.

>>93982313
and that's the point of superman.

>>93984323
Honestly to be signing your own death warrants, you'd have to be a bit liquored up.

Half the boys there had their stills or such I'd wager. Solid Spirits for taking on a momentous task.

Also the only thing missing from this issue was Uncle Sam showing up.

And him taking over the discussion as Clark talked about Independence Hall.

Maybe next issue.

>>93981499
Lol, they do teach Deborah Sampson in middle school here

>>93981668
I'm in the same boat as you. We're probably seeing him on a sober night, when he doesn't smell like piss and moldy camp gear.

I work hospital security. We get a lot of homeless that claim to be vets, but it's never true. Dude in his 40's tried telling me he was a Korean vet once.

>>93985340
You better be fucking joking. Anon was clearly talking in universe.

>>93984736
JLA can't exactly intervene in country politics. They act neutral until a clear threat to the world emerges. If they start enforcing their will to maintain peace we slowly become squadron supreme earth or injustice regime.

That's why the league ended up having bylaws and what not and a proper UN approved JLA charter to deal with world politics.

>>93983692
Not him but last week was a breather issue with fill in art and writing. Jime's 10/10 cover was the only reason to buy it.

Though I'm fully opposed to the posters who, every other week, call this the most boring book and always demand action. When Action Comics is a thing that exists and is chock full of action.

>>93982569
>Not the soldiers fault
American soldiers are not conscripted anymore, you can choose whether to join the army and sign up for taking part in wars or not. They consciously decide to take on that risk themselves.

>>93985557
Poor people who live in rural areas with no prospects often have no choice but to join the armed forces to move up in the world.

>>93985574
Superman himself says there's always another way.

>>93985574
This tired old liberal lie again
I knew coming to this thread it would be filled with liberal faggots and I was not wrong

>>93985574
That is complete bullshit and you know it

>>93985505
sure, but stopping planes from flying into towers isn't really a political statement, nor is saving civilians from massacres, or stopping mass shootings or bombings.

>>93985683
>>93985689
Ah yes instead they should move into cramped cities that are incredibly expensive to live in.

>>93985505
I feel like Superman would be the best "aid deliverer" the UN could ever hope for. Flash too. Just sprint/fly in to the war zone. Nobody is threatening them at gun point to hand over the aid meant for the civilians. And if they do it becomes a very quick war ender.

I think if either big 2 had any sort of balls they would be looking in to Syria and that situation instead of what the Capes would do under trump.

What does superman do when Assad is gassing his own people? Does he allow that to happen because it's a state-level problem? Or does he simply blast in grab the fucker throw him in a jail somewhere and try to save the people who've been poisoned?

As a fellow cityfag, this sums it up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmr-NRCbnus

I think it's totally admirable to be sympathetic to the homeless, I always feel great when I see people helping them. But I also don't blame people who just ignore all of it, because when you see it a hundred times a day, both people who need help and people who are just scummy, it's hard to have faith anymore.


And that said, I don't even blame scummy people for panhandling instead of getting a job. A panhandler typically makes more than fucking minimum wage.

>>93981499

Ma and Pa Kent never took Clark across the country while explaining the Declaration of Independence to him, and somehow he turned out alright and we understood the relationship he had with them.

>>93981748
Typically because they have no money to pay with, but the begging thing happens. Some old woman will sneak in and start begging each table for change, which "disturbs the guests" and cannot be tolerated. I've served homeless people who are totally lucid and not an issue at all, and I've served crazy people who have a system set up where their not-crazy friend comes in afterwards and pays their bills. But sometimes you get the people who don't pay, have no excuse, and the managers will bar from entering the restaurant again for.

You can't blame any of these guys for leading such a rough life, but at the same time, I have a job to do. If someone is barred from our restaurant, I'd hope it's for a good reason.

>>93985505
Is there really no middle ground between "can only fight space aliens" and "full Authority?".

>>93985738
The problem is that people think of superhumans as weapons and not what they are-living gods.

Attacking the mid-east doesn't work in real life because it's culture/IQ/religion/whatever doesn't allow it to be rebuilt into a functional society like post-WW2 Japan and Germany. There's no "good side" to prop up into power once the bad guys are dead. All you do by shooting the bad guys in charge is to destabalize the region and flood Europe with violent refugees that can't integrate.

But superhumans have other options.

Superman can literally just take all the guns away and chuck them into the sun. If nothing else it'll make the mid-east's routine blood baths a lot less bloody when everyone has to go back to using swords. Green Lantern can generate another entire planet for refugees to live on. Any one of them can fly into Mecca and say "You know what? Allah isn't shit. I've hung out with real gods and even beaten a couple of them up. The only God that likes what you're doing to yourself is Darkseid."

Then just teleport Orion and Friends in with a boom tube and teach them about The Source.

Who the fuck is going to want to be a Wahabist after meeting The New Gods face to face?

I remember Warren Ellis satirized his own Authority Pitch in Black Summer. "You're the smartest superhuman in the world and the best way you could think of using your powers to help the world was by doing a hit?"

There are more options than "we can't do anything" and "Brutally murder the regime in power and tell everyone to behave".

>>93987640

Jihad was independent/for hire iirc

>>93987876
They were based in Qurac, DC's stand in for shithole mid-east countries that aren't Khandaq.

>>93987866
>Who the fuck is going to want to be a Wahabist after meeting the New Gods?

Zauriel the actual angel of God's choir is on the JLA and Specter the Wrath of God is on the JSA.

Shouldn't the fundamentalist Muslims worship American Superheroes for being the only groups that get to be friends with actual angels of God?

Like if Zauriel floats down on Mecca and says "no really guys cut it out" what are the Immans going to say? That he's faking it? The guy with real wings and a real flaming sword?

>>93986487
What do you mean?

I literally bickered with an anon above who was implying this cover was depicting a "southern marching band". There is literally nothing offensive about this cover if you love america.

>>93986487
What?

>>93981373
Is Gleason listed as a writer on this? This looks nothing like his art. His and Jimenez' Lois is usually beautiful not some big-nosed creature like: >>93981499

>>93988138
Yeah, he cowrites with Tomasi for the book.

I hope we get another solo job with him sometime, since he got better at it with his stint on Robin: Son of Batman.

>>93981870
>>93982502
Exactly my thoughts. Bring back that OG Kubert-drawn bastard. Legitimately some of my favorite comics ever.

>>93988138
The art is horrible indeed. Just look at Lois in Super Sons by Jimenez this week, beautiful

>>93988179
I really really liked that book so I'd love to see more of his solo ventures. Him and Tomasi have been pretty good together on this run. His art on some issues has been the real treat though for me.

>>93988196
Jimenez has quickly become one of my favorite artists. And thats not a consequence of the recency. His art just hits the right notes for me. I've thoroughly enjoyed his work on Sons as well as the covers he does on.

I'd do anything to write a Super Sons story line for him to draw. That book is awesome.

>>93988316
I agree, what's more is that dude is a total chad and bro.

>>93987739
ma and pa couldn't afford it, and even if they could, they lived in an era where america and being american, especially in the countryside, were good things. jon is growing up at least partially in a metropolitan area, 30 years after his dad, and will almost definitely be surrounded by many anti-american voices, which isn't necessarily bad, but for clark and lois, one being the embodiment of american ideals and the other an army brat and a good journalist, it's important for him to be as aware of the good things that make up america as possible.

>>93988407
Absolutely. Not gay, doesn't really matter, but it kinda geeked me out when I saw he had an insta after he posted a preview page and saw a selfie of the dude. Granted, I was stereotyping, but I didn't expect the guy drawing Lois as a super cutie to be the type to pull super cutie puss.

This issue really should have been at the beginning of the month instead of the end of this month
I know I know arcs, but still.

>>93984000
Maybe they should try working toward tearing them down instead of doing something as juvenile as tagging another piece of art.

>>93984058
well thats the thing, they are awful. But no less awful than Vietnam or Korea. Soldiers are just soldiers. It's their job. They are not at fault for what uncle Sam wants them to do.

>>93981668
>This isn't a shelter
I agree with you, but the Kents look modest enough and looked like they were more than willing to pay. He obviously wasn't going to go around and ask for change, free food, or anything like that, was just enjoying a meal from a gracious family. I would have warned the family as he went to the washroom, not start a scene.

>>93989070
I have a feeling your country either has laws that let them kick out disruptive customers (ie mad hobostank) or your entire country smells like hobostank anyway.

>>93989455
>>93981557
This run has included a space fight, a franken fight, a massive space alien octopus, reality shaping shit with myx, more alien octopus and the reveal of Manchester Black who was behind it all.

I mean, yeah, there have been some family moments and even issues but it seems even in the issues where there are monsters to beat up it gets looked over by cynics simply because clark has a son and kissed his wife before he flies off.

>>93981934
Anon you're thinking of New Super-man.

I liked it.

>>93989619
I blame the DCEU. It brought in an audience that can't stand Clark acting like an actual human. They just want an action figure with a single fixed expression that gets thrown at stuff for fights.

>>93989455
What makes Superman who he is, is that at least a third of the stuff he does is stuff that anyone can do. "Anyone can be Superman if they look out for others" has been a core part of the series for longer than I've been alive.

>>93982007
tomasi is a dad though. he bases his stories on his family all the time.

>>93985052
And people still like it, get over it

>>93988479
And there are much better ways of illustrating this than this issue chose to do.

>>93989962
I don't really feel like going down the movie route but I'm a very large MoS and BvS fan. I just don't understand how this book is too "comfy" for some just because of maybe 4 or 5 (literally just the fillers) out of 27 issues being family-centered and the "exciting" issues happen to have stable family moments as well.

It almost feels like they'd prefer reading Byrne Supes. Which isn't such a problem but there's AC for brawls at the moment.

When the fuck is this reddit shit? When will Tomasi be off this book to make way for a good writer?

>>93991712

Then you're definition of Reddit is incorrect. Reddit should mean try hard and edgy. Reddit loves Jason and Red Hood for that very reason.

Tumblr would be the buzzword you want if you mean 'cutesy'.

And even then they're both buzzwords with no real merit. Try speaking in words instead of phrases and memes.

I really love this because it shows Superman being patriotic but not partisan. Although the rest of the issue takes a slight liberal bent to.

>>93981413
I thought Clark didn't need sleep as long as he had a steady supply of solar energy stored up.

Overly optimistic on the part of the homeless ex-marine. In real life they're just junkies looking for handouts to get their next fix.

>>93994023
>Although the rest of the issue takes a slight liberal bent to.
It does have a liberal bend, but it's a digestible liberal bend. This is the sort of liberal that comics have pretty much always been.

>>93985527
They shoved an issue from one of the Workshop writers last issue. This was supposed to come inbetween Black Dawn and Sinestro, hence it being a 4th of July issue.

I really like the Superman book right now, but this issue's pacing was really off-putting.

It was basically going from 1 speech about America to another without anything really inbetween.

>>93985527
>Though I'm fully opposed to the posters who, every other week, call this the most boring book and always demand action.

I think it's the same person.

>>93982103
>>93982130
Both of you are only partially right.

Originally Jon was born due to Coverngence and outside of the timeline. However DC retconned it and merged Superbro and Superdad together, making a new timeline.

New Timeline is this:
>Clark arrives at Metropolis and does everything the same as post crisis Superman
>After doomsday kills him things change a bit
>Upon Resurrection he adopts the trunkless costume we all know and tolerate
>Superman marries Lois just like in post crisis stories
>The divergence is she gets preggers I believe due to some tech in the Fortress of Solitude
>Justice league is present for the birth of Jon
>Superman retires to raise his family for the next 10 years
>Recently he has come back to action as Superman again

>>93981499
Why is everyone missing the point of this page, on both sides? It's just about being free to be yourself in America and having the right to free expression. Even Lois back tracks on talking to Jon's teacher because he's free to teach the course the way he sees fit.

>I really like Tomasi's penchant for fun cooldown issues in between arcs

It's also a nice break. It doesn't have to go from this arc to that arc. Normal life isn't like that, and unless these were movies (it's more like a series) there's a place and a thing to be said for space/breathing room.

You could be reading the first two volumes of Earth One Superman, where Shane Davis DID each and every single close up face 'from the side.' It's especially annoying when Clark is being Superman, especially since it's the classic uniform.

>>93982201

Many hours late but this post is so pathetic. It's so easy to nitpick other people's hard work and make a sad collage of nitpick. He's decent,solid artist who can deliver compelling scenes/decent storytelling, he's faces aren't the greatest but everything else is solid.

You're just a buttface.

>>93982232

Trinity is in the Superman Editorial office, partially because Superman/Wonder Woman was there, although it is just as much replacing Batman/Superman as well.

But Justice League is a team book, it's not really Super Family. It could just as easily really focus on Mera (and by extension Arthur) as the last two issues have, or focus on the Lanterns, etc., etc.

You're right about the rest.

>>93982215
>>93982256

Superman was also selling like 500K copies of Jimmy Olson and Lois Lane, not to mention Adventures or Superboy, Supergirl, and his own books.

They could easily have a mini, either in universe, or something like The Coming of the Supermen, or American Alien.

>>93982257
I haven't read past the first arc, but the dynamic with Steel, Natasha and other aspects can make it interesting. I just don't think the Lena story was really that interesting or novel - it read like bad fan fiction - and the art was just awful. It just needs a better writer.

>>93984909
>>93984947

She was shown doing the interview with Luthor and having Perry expecting her to work on stuff for the Planet even though they understood (or believed) she was doing some special project or a book? I'm sure when they are back in Metropolis it should come back into play.

>>93995411
>Upon Resurrection he adopts the trunkless costume

Nope.

>>Superman retires to raise his family for the next 10 years

Also nope

I don't think they are ever going to get into any details about Jon's conception. If they didn't address in the Manchester Black BS, they likely won't have any reason to raise it in the future and will just let it slide without a seriously detailed explanation as one could presume from the events of Convergence L&C #1 and #2.

Anyone else just so glad that Clark's back to acting like himself? I never read the New 52 stuff, but even the "best" pages fans posted here to try to claim he was still the same Clark never felt right. Never really hit the right notes. It's just great to have big blue acting as straightforward and kind of cornball as ever.

These are pretty recent. I'm sure a trade will come out someday although I don't really follow comics beyond what I see here so I'm not sure.

What do you mean? A trade focused on fun times Superfamily one shots? I highly doubt that. A trade like that wouldn't happen for decades.

I'm still waiting for a Mxyzptlk themed trade myself.

If you just mean collecting the books focused on Jon and family, then sure Superman Rebirth in trade form is what you want.
