He was Zod's kid and the Kent's adopted him since he was born in the Phantom Zone.
Like Jon, he was a kid for a while and they went, "Nope, done with that," and aged him up.

God it's March already?
It was a huge mess. Johns bailed on Action to make Blackest Night and Busiek left Superman to do Trinity, so they did this huge change with New Krypton but didn't stick around to finish it. And then the whole thing collapsed sales wise when they gave the main Super books to (and I'm being generous here) C-Listers while Clark and Kara were on New Krypton and Kon was still dead. Honestly the New 52 reboot was almost a relief for Supes and Wondy, the last years of Pre-Flashpoint were not kind to those two at all.
Two quick starts/drops.
Red Sonja/Tarzan was alright for the first couple of issues but can't really muster too much energy to read more. I like the villain though. Very menacing.
Couldn't even make it that far into Morning in America.

What was really good at the end of the pre-Flashpoint era?
Batman was a Tony Daniel joint, Detective was filler after Snyder, JLA and Superbooks were trash. I thought the GL post-Blackest Night storylines and events were pretty ho-hum.
edit: Wait. Det was Snyder at the end. The filler I'm thinking of was between Rucka and Snyder.
They should include word balloons on wax paper pages so you could insert them if you wanted.

I was all set to buy Gogor on CMX and found out it was another cancelled fantasy comic from Image, cast to an early grave like my beloved Flavor and Scales & Scoundrels.
Image: We have both kinds of indie comics; we've got urban fantasy AND cyberpunk.
And it was written by J. Michael Straczynski of all writers!

Damn, this first arc in the 2nd Bendis DD omni is so good.
How is there no book at Marvel that is just like this arc. Just Nick Fury, Shield, and the espionage angle, with characters like Black Widow and Cap. Secret Warriors is the closest thing I know of, and that basically died after Hickman stopped working on it. That was the one thing in the Ultimate universe that I wish would transfer over to the 616.
Does anyone know which issues were the start of the Daredevil Black Widow stuff? Like where are there adventures together?

Grounded could have been a good story and instead it's a mess. Also I did not realize this was the guy who wrote Superman: Earth One until I looked his name up. I have the first two volumes of this (I bought them a few years back in high-school) because art student me needed to stare at the cool art.
That's my favorite run of Nightwing ever. Nobody's topped it in the last decade.
hey did you want an invite to the discord?
it'll be the death of me, to be sure. not as bad as posting gaming side tho.
I think I'm there already I just never check it haha. But thank you! Is the party going on in there?
The GL and Batman franchises were in a great place, which why those two basically weren't affected by the reboot.
Cornell's The Black Ring storyline starring Lex in Action Comics was fantastic, and pretty much the only worthwhile Superbook after New Krypton collapsed.
Other than that I'm struggling. WW has just gotten a reboot with JMS which sucked so they undid that to do another reboot with New 52. Flash had just gotten Barry Allen back with Rebirth so I guess that was ok? Aquaman was doing alright as Johns started to rebuild him and Mera, although he started over with New 52, and Arthur has been pretty consistently great since. The New 52 was very much a success for Arthur.
I can't even remember what the Titans were up to at that point.
Now you've got me all curious. Did you read Seeley's run? If you did would you say it was better than that? Because I loved Seeley's Nightwing run. Tomasi should take another shot at Nightwing then after he's done with Tec. He could bring over Damian for Dick and Damian adventures after this Ric bullshit ends.
What was the last thing released again? A random Catwoman issue?
Yeah, it was an Election Special that it shared with Catwoman. Instead of a second arc. 😥
As a lover of both titles, it was such a random ass crossover haha
I think Bendis was body snatched, and Secret Invasion was his cry for help. But noone caught it in time,
Yea. The Ultimate U just had that Shield/Super hero dynamic built in, where the heroes were basically working for Fury and Shield (like the movies) that I like.
Secret Six is the only one I can think of. Most of the main creative teams had already moved on to N52 stuff
First arc 2016 elections. Second arc 2020 elections. Book it.
Now that Wonder Twins is over, Bendis and Russell should bring back Prez timed for these elections.
e: At least for a guest arc in Young Justice, if these Wonder Comics need to be connected.
ee: Actually, Wonder Comics would limit what it could do. It'd have to be Black Label.

With all the shit going on in the world today, there is so much damn material to draw from I cannot imagine no one wants to do more Prez.
Reminder Russell and Pugh (artist on Flintstones) have a new comic out this week, which looks very biting in the Prez and Flintstones tradition.

The rebirth run? Yeah, it was better than that to me though that was likely the second best Nightwing run, if I think back.
Secret Warriors was like 20 issues in when I started reading comics again. It was also the first Hickman I read and it lead me to his Fantastic Four. I loved it and wish they would reprint that omni. It would be an insta buy from me. More people need to read it. Old Fury is so awesome.
I forgot all about The Black Ring but it was such a great story. I loved the issue where Death shows up. It's too bad Cornell also wrote one of the worst Batman and Robin stories around that time. I had high hopes when he was announced but aside from the Guilliam March covers it did nothing for me.
Comics industry putting out more dangerous weapons than most others.
Got a little nostalgic while at the shop today, had to grab 'em. I'm looking forward to the show on Disney+ next year.
I actually read the X-men ones back in the day when I wasn't even reading X-men because I thought they seemed cool.Got a little nostalgic while at the shop today, had to grab 'em. I'm looking forward to the show on Disney+ next year.

I have a bunch of those stashed away somewhere, including this bad boy with a chromium embossed cover
Great issueI have a bunch of those stashed away somewhere, including this bad boy with a chromium embossed cover
I wonder what you guys think of the updated origins of the Fantastic Four.
I thought the new race involved is interested, but I fear the crash not being Reed's fault let him off the hook. Granted, I got hooked by that new video on the Four that explained why the origin worked.
I don't like it since it absolves Reed, and removes the randomness of the cosmic rays
yup. absolving reed is the single worst thing you could do to his character. its practically the only thing that gives him depth. him not having that really just gives him a free pass to be arrogant because why would he ever assume he could make a mistake? why would the family ever assume he'd be making the wrong decision?
It was probably done cause someone was sick of Ben griping to Reed about making him a monster for the 200th time.
