You're right. My mistake. BOSWORTH.

I still think Routh was a great Superman and Clark Kent.

What's cynical about it? People keep shouting this, but I'm not seeing it.

Let's hear it for Lois! in trouble not because the bad guys want to use her against Superman (well, they do, but she gets out of that situation and starts mucking with things herself), but because she throws herself in the middle of all the action, is the one who learns how to defeat everyone, also how to operate the

When it came to Waid's review, I thought he made the fundamental error of projecting  his own version of Superman onto the one on-screen. All right, sure, it probably didn't help that Snyder & Goyer lifted a bunch of stuff from "Birthright," and so it's easy to fall into that trap when you're hearing your words

I read it, too, as a split second decision where he freaks out and just reacts. And his inability to deal — at least until the next scene, which is an inordinate amount of time later — suggests that he's going to have better contingencies for the next time he's stuck in a corner.

Going off your point: the NYT review pointed out how basically the first 100 minutes is a look at an immigrant/orphan trying to find his heritage and origin. That was Davis's favorite part of the movie — even with its lack of subtlety.

I liked Killjoy's a lot more than Sava, I liked the rhythm of it, the slow-burn ideas, and Cloonan's art. In fact, I picked it up for Becky Cloonan so the rest was a pretty good surprise.

Superman hasn't really gotten a fair showing in DC's current line — at least in his own title.

I would agree with this. Like, I was always "eh" when it came to Superman before. But then something clicked in the middle of "All-Star" and I guess I got the character. I mean, I would still take Batman and Wonder Woman over him, but Morrison's interpretation has basically fueled everything I believe the character

Tim Sale did the art.

I'm inclined to agree with this.

The thing that sold me on this Man of Steel movie was actually a fan mash-up on Tumblr where someone captioned four frames from the movie with All-Star's opening narration.

Just curious (not trying to be snide or rude or anything, I promise!) but what are your favorite best comic book endings?

My boyfriend loves this series (this is one he follows in trades), but whenever I look at it, I just think there's 100+ of these things, and like 20 books and that's just a lot. Kind of the same way with The Walking Dead.

Just want to take a moment to say that Hollingsworth knocked it out with the coloring as well for THE WAKE. Just how one shade of blue slowly dissolving into black can give that sense of depth and emptiness and water.

Let's not forget The Unwritten still going strong. (And I would be amiss if I didn't mention Fables, either, even though I'm not the biggest fan of the series.)

Seconded!

I love Matt Kindt and nearly forgot about this book — so thanks for the reminder!

I don't know . . . because the silent issue in New X-Men was pretty fantastic. And I love the first issue of Batman & Robin. The second, too, with Pyg's soliloquy.
