It ...Here is my Siri, put those that care hear it:<br /><br />It seems that the Clark Kent subplot is being set up to establish,for the citizens of the DCU) that Superman and Clark are, in fact, two different people (and that the whole identity reveal had something to do with Superman taking Clark's place for some, as yet, unexplained reason).<br /><br />Meanwhile, n52 Lois is becoming Superwoman and sending a mysterious package to post-Crisis Lois.<br /><br />I think things are being set up so that post-Crisis Clark and Lois can resume their original lives at the Daily Planet. Super-Lois will become her own thing (I don't know what, yet). <br /><br />Either post-Crisis Lois and Clark will pretend not to be married and John will be a relative of one of theirs that comes to live with them OR Lois and Clark will have a public relationship and "adopt" John.jacksyatteringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567397979563481621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-28259203245225418252016-07-14T18:26:09.003-04:002016-07-14T18:26:09.003-04:00I knew that his suit is "powered" by his...I knew that his suit is "powered" by his Lex Box but didn't think it could be "repaired" by it too!

I mean we are getting twice as many pages as we used to in a month. So, maybe they are legitimately taking more time to SHOW AND TELL this story than they would have in a standard monthly comic issue? Don't say it. I heard Jim in the podcast last week call me..."positive"...like it was a dirty word. Still don't know how I feel about that.

A perfect fit for this book!<br /><br />I actually really liked Lois in this issue, I think Jurgens writes the best Lois when he's given the chance, but it would have been cooler (or smarter) if the reason she let John watch was because she knew HER Clark was the older and wiser Superman, who learned from his last fight with Doomsday , and was now ready to face him... Which apparently did not occur to Superman himself, until well past the bloody halfway mark of the book!<br /><br />I have been a vocal proponent of Jurgens Superman since the Convergence and eventual re-emergence in the Lois & Clark series, and it's sooooo frustrating to see him write certain scenes in this new book. It's as if by eliminating the N52 Supes , they decided the original should inherit his rookie blunders, and bad decision making.<br /><br />This should have been a rematch, with an older, smarter, and more powerful Clark herding Doomsday towards his ultimate defeat. Instead, we get a blow for blow recount of a 20 year old (though still epic) battle, where Supes finally realizes he should keep his distance and then ends up fragging the Center of Metropolis...<br /><br />Really?<br />I know this is action comics, and thanks to Kirkham FEELS like Action Comics, but If i'm committing to buying a series twice Monthly, I need it to deliver on both story AND Art, and Jurgens feels like he's in a holding pattern. <br /><br />I'm hoping we can break out of it.<br />And where's the rest of his powers? Superspeed and freeze breath (in a sewer) could have helped a bit.<br /><br />Come on DC!!<br /><br />-AscentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
