MY 5 FAVORITE SUPERMAN COMICS
5/SUPERMAN VS. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Written by Gerry Conway &; drawn by Ross Andru (with some help from Neal Adams and John Romita Sr.), released in 1976, this was the 1st official crossover comic between DC Comics and Marvel Comics. There have been many crossovers in the decades since then, some better written and drawn […]
SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE
January 7, 2013
This post is inspired by my recent post about Superman in the real world, as I think this film was the perfect vehicle to showcase a “real world” reaction to Superman. This particular movie remains much-maligned, even more so than the comedic turn of Superman III, or the maudlin Superman Returns, and it effectively killed […]
WHAT IF SUPERMAN WAS REAL?
December 22, 2012
In recent weeks more information about the upcoming Superman movie, The Man of Steel, directed by Zak Snyder and starring Henry Cavill, has been released, starting with the above poster. My first thought was, that’s a very odd choice for a movie poster. Superman in handcuffs, surrounded by armed soldiers. What exactly is that supposed […]
PRESIDENT SUPERMAN
December 18, 2012
Back in 1991, DC Comics ran this crossover storyline called Armageddon 2001. It’s been years since I read any of this, so I’m going by memory. The basic premise was that in the future the world was being run by a ruthless dictator simply called The Monarch. No one knew who he or she was, […]
SUPERMAN/SHAZAM: FIRST THUNDER
December 9, 2011
I’ve written before that Captain Marvel is #1 on my list of 10 FAVORITE SUPERHEROES. Unfortunately, he’s vary rarely been portrayed correctly in the comics, in my opinion. This is one of those stories that nails it perfectly. Written by Judd Winick and drawn by Joshua Middleton, this was a 4-issue series originally published by […]
SUPERMAN: SECRET IDENTITY by Kurt Busiek and Stuart Immonen
December 2, 2011
This is a 4-part miniseries published by DC Comics in 2004. I only just acquired it recently, after hearing it being spoken highly of on some message board. And I must say that it is a most excellent story. This takes place in the “real world,” where a young boy has been named Clark Kent […]
IF I COULD BRING SUPERMAN TO LIFE…
March 10, 2011
Image by Gary Anderson From today’s Daily Post If you could bring one fictional character to life for a day, who would you choose? I’d pick The Man of Steel. We could sure use someone like him in the world right now. This is, of course, assuming that if I bring him to life I […]
HENRY CAVILL IS SUPERMAN!
January 30, 2011
It’s been all over the news websites this morning, that Henry Cavill has been cast to star in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman movie, due in 2012. And I must say that I think he is an excellent choice, and will be able to play this role very well. I am a huge fan of The […]
MY 10 FAVORITE SUPERHEROES
October 26, 2008
Yeah, that’s right. I’m a grown-@$$ man who reads comic-books. So? 1)THE ORIGINAL CAPTAIN MARVEL I think I saw this character in the cartoons first & then later in live-action TV series, before ever reading a comic-book. But it automatically appealed to me. I’d already been interested in Greek mythology, so that was an interesting […]
