Imagine a world.....
submitted by Pumpkinscones on June 19, 2013, 7:57pm
Mark Millar (KickAss, lots of Marvel) gives a good take on what would happen if Superman appeared today.
Yu's art is always good and the depictions of the Space Monkey are wonderful. It's not quite a Deus Ex Machina to solve the hero's quandary and it does feel a little cheap, but that's ok as the book is more of an examination of the world, rather than the individual.
Worth a read.
a modern origin story submitted by britain on August 22, 2022, 1:49pm I went on a bit of a Miller kick after reading "Nemesis" (borrowed through MeLCat, I recommend). "Nemesis" is kind of "what if Batman was a villain" and has a number of twists and turns and a high body count -- "Superior" is a re-envisioning of the Superman story that hits many of the same beats in different ways. Much more... heartwarming? ...than I thought it would be going in. And I can't believe that a few of these panels haven't already become memes out of context.
