My response to "OFF MY MIND:...MAKING SUPERMAN COOL"

Let's face it. We all love SUPERMAN. We all need Superman.

The best place to go with a super-man isn't within himself, but within us. Hear me out before anyone thinks I'm about to wax psychology. Never has there been a story to where Supes is depicted as the villain to the point to where we clearly see him as the bad guy. I'm talking the no-turning-back-say-hello-to-the-bad-guy kind of villian. As some people have said, he's "too powerful."(BTW, grow up, guy). That would be a scary situation.

Who can deliver us these precious goods: the ultimate Superman story? Beats me. In my life Dan Jurgens is the only creator that stayed on Supes for a lengthy bit of time(that I can remember). Geoff Johns had a stellar run on Action Comics a few years back but I think he told the Supes stories he wanted to tell and was content at leaving it at that to move on to GL. There's a plethora of names but the truth is, the stars have to align. The fact that so many people have responded to
