oh shit that art looks way better. I am definitely on board with this Superman.
The art definitely fell apart in the back half, and the rando inking Mahnke instead of Alamy didn't help, but damn did the
flashback/Doomsday retelling look fantastic
Never read that story but after a quick wiki search I can say it doesn't
Oh man that flashback scene and pre new 52 Sups words of wisdom are the reasons why I gave it a 4/5.
Definitely one of my favorite flashback scenes done in comics.
Fucking big missed opportunity since The setting for the new supes book is 1:1 out of this. What a shame.

It was me on my alt account. The author of all your pain.
sorry man I don't have much Sups knowledge outside the cartoons. Someone else will have to elaborate more.
Nah, its fine. Just a little bit disapointed.
Have you not read their incredible run on Batman and Robin? That book has so much heart and incredible art. It made me well up a few times.
This page is so perfect
Also issue #38 might be my fave superhero comic ever. Fantastic issue cover to cover, very emotional and fun at the same time.
If someone thinks a book is 5/10 they are going to drop it far earlier than that. I'm a proponent for sticking with books for a few issues, but if a book takes 5 issues to get people interested then the writer has failed. Most books these days are lucky to get people buying a second issue if they don't think the first is good, let alone five.

Green Lanterns was a pleasant surprise. I like the idea of a Earth based Lantern book staring Jessica and Simon. Hope Geoff mentored Sam enough for a bunch of solid stuff.

It's really slow to start but worth sticking with. Went completely god-tier when Damien died in Batman Inc. An extraordinary exploration of grief.

Yeah please pick up the entire new 52 run if you can. It is fantastic comics and it is by the new Superman team Tomasi and Gleason.
It had all the emotional weight that I felt Snyder's batman was lacking. A great companion as they were releasing alongside each other. The issues after Damian died in INC are heartbreaking.
Will buy.
CMX needs to give some sales. I am eager to read more NEW 52.

Yeah, great run. Much preferred it to the main Batman run. Will definitely read their Superman.
Maybe my opinion is a bit skewed because I trade wait or read on MU. Trying five issues might be a bit more hard to take if I were paying $2.99/$3.99 monthly.
I hope they do a new 52 sale as they move into rebirth a little more.

Hell, it's hard to get them second issue if they thought the first one was good.

I thought Batman: Rebirth was okay. The way the issue was themed around
was solid, the changes to that character were cool and I appreciated the ties to the whole concept of rebirth. The art was nice. But it definitely felt somewhat slight and vacuous. I got to the last page and said "that's it?" That said, if the ultimate goal of these one shots is to get you to try the new volume of the book then it was successful. I'm on board.

Oh man enjoy. Such a cool show. I really hope Netflix gives it a third season.
Last page of #1 was dark too.
No, he said he wanted a good Superman book

Best Superman:
I love that story so much.
"This is an imaginary story (which may never happen, but then again may) about a perfect man who came from the sky and did only good. It tells of his twilight, when the great battles were over and the great miracles long since performed; of how his enemies conspired against him and of that final war in the snowblind wastes beneath the Northern Lights; of the women he loved and of the choice he made between them; of how he broke his most sacred oath, and how finally all the things he had were taken from him save one. It ends with a wink. It begins in a quiet midwestern town, one summer afternoon in the quiet midwestern future. Away in the big city, people still sometimes glance up hopefully from the sidewalks, glimpsing a distant speck in the sky... but no: it's only a bird, only a plane Superman died ten years ago. This is an imaginary story... aren't they all?"
I liked it better than Endgame. The way the Joker destroyed the foundation the Bat-family had, it was great. The lead up was better than the climax though.

Not very good imo but Im not in love with Snyder's Batman even if I like it a lot in spots just not Death of the Family
One of the very best Superman stories imo

I liked it a lot, even if the ending was a little anticlimactic. The beginning is tense as hell, Snyder writes a terrific Joker.
The only good tie in was B&R, though, imho

I thought it was good, if a little underwhelming at the end. Snyder writes a great Joker.

Intro to batman fool. This is not the first part of kings arc. For a second how about you look at the incoming issues for batman. There is a batman rebirth #1 and then batman #1. Calendar man is just fodder. this book is more of a one shot and it is cowritten by sndyer... But if you wanna count it on kings run go ahead.
Furthermore, it is already widely accepted by every comic book site that batman rebirth #1 is solid. I mean if you wanna say it is bad all I can really do is go " lol k" because it is your opinion. I told you before that I can't talk about rebirth with ya because I always have to explain common sense so consider yourself lucky I wrote this much. Next time you getting a " lol k
What a preposterously condescending post. Well done.
Since I already read Court of Owls and plan to buy the absolute this year here is what I have to read atm on CMX
Batman 13-20. This includes all of Death of the family.

I got that vibe too. :/
That was a recurring trend during Snyder's run from what I can remember.
I think Endgame was different.
So great. Loved that part.
I agree. The only time he didnt fucked the ending up.

Captain Marvel 5...hmmm not sure where I landed on this arc. At times it was really fun and cool. The setting and style are a refreshing change from most of my other cape books. The utilization of Alpha Flight was great. Nice to see Carol actually leading a team instead of just drifting in the background as she does in A-Force and The Ultimates...the problem is she isn't very good at it and that's on display in this issue quite a lot.
I felt throughout this issue like I had missed something or forgotten something, went back through and turns out I didn't, it was just filled with random deus ex machina conveniences which was disappointing. I liked the first four issues a lot more.
