Title: Superman Beyond #0 Post by: Uncle Mxy on August 28, 2011, 11:10:41 AM (http://www.imgcafe.com/view/uploads/supermhoh.jpg)
The first thing I saw was this cover at a distance, which scared me a bit. I was thinking "they didn't do a Bluperman Retroactive from the 90s, did they?" Then I moved in closer and saw it was the Superman from the Batman Beyond-verse, done by the creative team involved with May Parker Spider-Girl (which was some of the best Spidey comics of the past 10-15 years). Cool! Overall, it's a good story, worth checking out. You don't need to be well-versed in Batman Beyond to be entertained -- just think of it as an Elseworlds. I loved the little scene with Jimmy Olsen's signal-watch ring-tone, and the ending banter with Batman. Schway. :) Title: Re: Superman Beyond #0 Post by: BBally81 on August 28, 2011, 06:01:59 PM This title is getting a lot of positive word of mouth.

The big highlight for me was the preview from the new Teen Titans graphic novel, reuniting Wolfman and Perez for a Teen Titans tale set during their tenure, with all the old characters and settings. The artwork was gorgeous and the story looked pretty good. Reminded me of why I got into comics in the first place. |
