r/superman

Mine are Injustice and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.

And yeah, maybe bragging about your biggest advantage, which can be easily stripped away, in front of enemy who is a strategic general isn't a good idea

From Superman Unlimited #16

Nice family moment between the cousins.

Appreciate how they care for each other over themselves and it's nice that Kara gets a chance to finally be a protecter to Young Kal-El that she was unable to be due to her late arrival.

1-Connor is a clone created by using his DNA against his knowledge and will

2-created by his biggest ennemies lex luthor

3-Connor himself said in young justice that he was created possibly kill superman and replace him

By those 3 factors alone superman had good reason to keep his distance from him ... We don't know if luthor may have install a chip or trigger thata may pose a threat to him the world and his loved ones

If there are any Lois I didn't include, do mentioned the one you think does the character justice.

Hi everyone!

Superman by Kurt Busiek: Book One is the jewel of my comic book collection and I wanna write about it.

I always respected the character of Superman, including the influence on creating many more superheroes, but I was never really a fan, never found him that cool or interesting. For most of my life its been Batman, Spider-Man, then much later Wonder Woman.

This changed when I became a father. My son was born and then in the summer of that year I watched Superman and Lois where Superman has two teenage sons. It was like a switch flipped in my head. I suddenly became a big fan of Superman and wanted to read everything I could get my hands on. For All Seasons, Birthright, Red and Blue, Secret Identity, and other stories really helped lift my spirits in that first year of fatherhood when I felt like I was constantly screwing up. I felt as though I finally understood the metaphor: Superman is just a guy doing his best to put some good into the world, be responsible for his actions, and do right by those he loves.

Secret Identity and Up, Up, and Away are two of my all-time favourite Superman stories. They are collected in Superman by Kurt Busiek: Book One along with half of Camelot Falls, Back in Action, and a couple of issues from the 80s and 90s, including a Superman/Batman team up! This collection also has an intro from Kurt Busiek, an explanation for the concept of the Secret Identity story, some sketches from Camelot Falls, and a beat by beat description of each issue of Up, Up, and Away. And even though I do not love Camelot Falls the way other people might, I'm still really glad half of it is collected here, especially for the really sweet stuff with Clark and Lois.

Something that really appeals to me about Kurt Busiek's Superman writing is the narration. It is really awesome to read Clark's perspective, whether that is the main Superman we know in Up, Up, and Away, or the slightly different version from Secret Identity. It all feels so personal. What does it mean to be a good person? What about power and responsibility? How does it feel physically to have these powers, especially super senses?

And of course you get a wonderful mix of art. The more old school stuff from the 80s and 90s, Stuart Immonen's work on Secret Identity, and much more. There's a lot of very cool action shots and a page I call the 'money shot' in Up, Up, and Away where Superman is floating with his hands on his hips.

This collection is a brilliant mix of introspective, philosophical, thrilling, and fun. I highly recommend it!
