Just read Superman, an encouraging start. Great to see an extra dose of Kennan since his book is normally a monthly. Seems the Gatherers means of consumption requires "devolving" their prey, as evident by what happens to Captain Carrot
Superman
Character » Superman appears in 18942 issues.
Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
Superman and Action Comics Rebirth Discussion Thread
Art of Lois from Patrick Zircher...looks like N52 Lois, possible flashback?
Justice League vs Suicide Squad #3 at least gave Superman some better moments in this event. He had a decent scene with Killer Frost and he recognised Maxwell Lord calling him the most dangerous. Which indicates this Superman still remembers Lord taking control of his mind and having him fight Batman and Wonder Woman.
Great issue! I'm looking forward to seeing more of Red Son Superman, especially interacting with the new Batman, given what happened with the one on his Earth. Speaking of, I noticed they didn't mention what Earth the Batman came from. I don't know if that's important but who knows.
Never really liked Superman. I still picked up an issue of his Rebirth title...and it was great. Enough to make me like the character.
Liked Multiverse. Don't really like the fact that the Supermen still don't use their lighting fast reflexives and speed. But still left with a decent cliffhanger.
Also; can't wait for Super Sons next month.
@malachi325: He does not use it due to a simple reason. PLOT. If he was going to use his reflexes (nanosecond + ), the comic will be finished in one page. And we would not like that
Great issue, and lol at Captain Carrot.

Good to hear!
Superman 14 was good! But personally I'm enjoying Action Comics by Jergens better than tomasi Superman although it's getting better... anybody else wonder who the earth-2 Superman is show next to the other Supermen?, wasn't the New 52 Earth 2 Superman killed off?
@redwhiteandbluesupes: The current Earth-2 Superman is Val Zod.
@lvenger: should DCEU Superman cameo in Multiplicity?
@vinomonster: right. Judging from his costume it looks like it's Val Zod in the earth 2 cell

@eto: Not yet, all my comics come at the end of the month so I'll have to wait a while. No LCS near me.
I know the feel. :/ there's no comicshop in my neighbourhood as well.
Here in The Netherlands I have to pay for shipping, so what I do is instead of paying every frickin week for the shipment I wait 2-3 weeks and then pay just once hah.
I still have to read ASbatman and Action Comics today.

That's quite the economic solution you have. Prices do drop after a few weeks don't they?

Well the shipment price is about 4euros and I buy the comics one month before the release. So no, unfortunately, I dont get a discount or somehting.....

Ah right, but do the shipment prices go down?
I've seen more preview art from Patrick Zircher of Lois and Clark walking out into the pouring rain, with Lois looking unimpressed....I'm thinking it's either a flashback of sorts at this point by the human Clark and N52 Lois, or a flashback to PFP Lois and Clark at the beginning of their relationship. If that's true, that issue of Action Comics could be dealing with the "tragic" fallout of Jon's abduction in the opening act of "Reborn" which leaves Lois and Clark heartbroken and possibly could even see them drifting apart while coping with the grief, forcing them to reflect on how they began and where they go from here.
Not that I want it to happen, but I've suspected for a time that introducing elements like N52 Lois' apartment in Metropolis means they're gearing up to separate Lois and Clark for a while after "Reborn", giving Lois a permanent home nearer to her work, and Jon's been around there now so I suspect he'll switch between going to his dad for super-training and still go to school with Kathy, but will see his mom in Metropolis from time to time.
Do I think Lois and Clark will stay seperated? If worst comes to worst, I give it maybe a year before they resolve it in issue 1000 of Action Comics just in time for the end of Rebirth.
@zariusii: Oh **** you really think they're going to seperate Lois and Clark for a while? Also isn't that preview art showing the new Clark Kent walking with Lois?
Dan Jurgens said Lois and Jon are the "heart" of the Reborn story, and Jurgens said that a "huge emotional price will be paid" in an interview, I also think the Frankenstien two-parter was a big indicator, revealing that the fate of their son is what caused the rift between Frankie and his bride. Lois could think Clark's life is too much of a danger for her son and herself to be around. I'm not saying they'll be seperated forever, but they might be for about a year until we reach the 1000th issue of Action where they could reconcile. Just a theory, and I hope I'm wrong.
And yes, I do think that's the new Clark Kent and N52 Lois right now (because of her look and hair), possibly in a flashback.
Decent issue of Action. Lex's justifications to Supes for wearing the shield were valid (and brought up that N52 Supes had respect for him) and there is continuity carrying over from the Lois and Clark mini-series when Lex pieces together what Supes has been up to while investigating him.
And now "ordinary" Clark knows of Jon's existence when he pops over with the takeaway!
Good issue. Now Superman is powerless and its time for SuperLex to step forward.
It seem something terrible is going to happen to Superman [Emerald Empress vs Supes JL vs SS #4].

And apparently something happens in the pages of Supergirl that is related to Empress seeking out Saturn Girl

And apparently her Eye found traces of temporal energy in Jessica Cruz. Two pages and so much potential aftermaths, lol. Oh, and also Saturn Girl is in Arkham.
I finally read Superman 14, and it was good like the rest. I guess my problem with Superman is that I wish I got more with each issue, but the dialogue is always solid, and the art is always pretty wonderful.
I prefer the Deathstroke and Nightwing titles because I get more for my money, but Superman is now my favorite superhero after Batman, and I've started checking out Golden Age Supes to get into the character (I really like it)! I even got the Superman 7 image of Superman sitting on my phone's wallpaper because I'm loving the character so much right now.
@xibfwb: The art for Titans 7 was really good!

Unfortunately Supergirl issue had no such thing. It was just Cyborg Superman - Kara fighting and she saving some civilians.

That's unfortunate. Was there any brief mentions at all? Maybe it'll be for future issues then.

No Superman and Saturn Girl in it. The issue ended with Zor-El's city reaching earth.
Can someone tell me about Titans #7 please
Sure, here we go.
The issue began with the Titans fighting and beating a random villain. When they were done with that bad guy, Superdad came there. He said he heard a commotion in NYC and thought it would be a job for him. Then gave greetings to Wally and flew from there. Wally followed and outraced Supes and then we have their conversation- Wally explaining how none is remembering him, something is wrong with the universe/time, Clark asking about Linda etc. After the chat, they race again and we have no info on how fast or how long they raced. Titans made their tower in NYC. This is what happened.
@mightykalel: outraced. Granted Supes wasn't going all out. Also, does he have memory problems? How the hell could he say that Wally is faster than before, when, in Pre 52, Wally did some inexplicable feats (being faster than instant teleportation/ outrunning death, etc)

Supes said he was going easy. Wally wasn't going all out either. AFAIK he doesn't have memory problems lol. He said about the last time they raced I assume.
A new costume, the mystery of Mr. Oz continues, the Kents will move back to Metropolis, and Clark looks back on all the key events in his life to determine who tried to destroy it

Thank you very very much. Greatly appreciated.
Was the issue any good? Might pick it up myself. Been meaning to check out Titans.

Well supposedly the timeline of rebirth is still screwed up even after this event, so I'm not sure what DC is doing here with the recounting of events. But if the endgame for rebirth is just to retcon Superman's costume and fill in a few vague events from pre crisis then I'm taking a break from Superman for a while
