I'm sure many of you have been wondering why my head has become so large. Well, I've been eating my words, but I haven't been able to swallow them, so they've been filling up my brain and gotten it all inflated.
Which words? My words of criticism regarding a recent issue of
Superman, where I vowed to stop reading the Superman books. Of course, I really kept right on reading them - including the latest issue,
Superman 653.
I've got to say - it was absolutely incredible. The characterization of everybody - Superman, Lois, Lex, Jimmy - are all spot-on perfect. Seeing Jimmy risk his own well-being to help his pal Superman, seeing Lex's false justifications and his twisted hatred of Superman - and seeing Superman call him on it! Just perfect stuff.
I don't think I've ever seen Lex in a giant, Kryptonite transformer-robot before! Sheer genius. The whole thing was brilliant.
Kurt, if you're still here, thanks. Fantastic job.
