The Official Superman Thread - Part 4

[Spade]

The most popular choice is All-Star Superman. It requires no reading list to enjoy, and it's separate from the ongoing story, so it has a start and finish. If you want an origin story, Superman and the Men of Steel is the name of the collection that covers Action Comics issues 1-8 from the recent reboot. It's a very good intro.

 

[Zionite1]

I've never picked up a Superman comic before but I'm definitely interested to start. Where should I begin, I.E best origin story or w/e? Man of Steel #1?

Supermans current Official Origin is Superman and the men of Steel.However the best Origin story is Superman Birthright-Its not in Continuity though.

I have some complaints regarding Action Comics and Superman titles, both feature lack luster artwork, I mean look at comics such as Voodoo, Demon Knight, Amethyst, Justice League Dark and Wonder Woman, Batwoman and Aquaman (very good artwork ) and then you look at Superman comics. Sub par artwork.

Hell, they can't even drew Superman's face properly, then body proportions, I am just disappointed. This has been going on for months.

The stories are not that good either.

The new Krypton Saga was good.

I get your complaints about Action comics art but Rocafort draws a fantastic Superman.I mean just take a look at the cover in Superman 17.

Action comics got great stories even if it is a bit non-cohesive and confusing.The Superman title seems to be on the rise again with lobdell on.My only wish is that Lobdell learns to loose overexposition

 

[RoughNTumble]

i love you mr rocafort

 

[Maximus One]

I dig the art in Superman 13. I didn't at first but it's really grown on me

 

[Young Superman]

Quick question, Superman's vital statistics in the DCnU are listes as 6' 3" and 235 lbs. right?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

There's a new Oracle debuting in a Superman comic? Crap, is it gonna be Chloe?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

God frikkin dammit! I hope not.

It's a monster/alien named Oracle.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, Chloe.

 

[RoughNTumble]

My problem with Action Comics are the eyes. Sometime Superman looks bug-eyed and out of it. Also, Action Comics just seem to toss **** at you with no explanation. Kinda gets frustrating.

 

[CConn]

Personally, I prefer both Rags and Rockafort to the art in Voodoo, Demon Knigbts, Amethyst, Aquaman and JLDark, but that's just me.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

I like Rags as well. Rocafort should go unsaid, the mans freakin' sweet.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Have they said when the Snyder/Lee Superman book is actually going to launch?

 

[HighFivingMF]

 

[Anubis]

Well, that's a freaky lookin' mofo.

 

[Cain]

The little man is an awesome 5th dimensional devil. Wonder how Morrison will connect him with Jor-El.

 

[RoughNTumble]

dc needs to snatch up fiona staples when she's finished with saga

 

[CConn]

I hope she's never finished with Saga.
