...I'm torn between being excited that Chris is back and sad that it looks like he's gonna be, if not evil, then at least evil adjacent. Whatever, looks cool. I'm gonna hafta buy this book now.

Also, how adorable is Jimmy?

Chris has to look tough in front of the folks, it'd be nice if he and Kon were secret buddies.

And yes, Jimmy is very cute! :)

I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I'll sign you up for a regular issue of "Ropes'n'Robins" then

Yeah, I look at Chris, and I think "Reggie to Conner's Archie."

And yet another example of why the "kiddie" comics are superior to their allegedly adult counterparts: look, kids, no crotch-diamond.

[auggie18]

In all honesty, I'd probably like the crotch diamond if it had tights on underneath it.

You know, seeing the new "armour" Superman costume here, done as a simplistic uniform, I actually really like it. It's still iconic and doesn't have that "underwear on the outside" look.

Agreed, if it were a costume made of cloth rather than over-detailed Jim-Lee'd armour, I think it would work better.

[jlbarnett]

if it were a costume made of cloth there's be a chance he'd NEED the underwear. There's a reason the strong man look he was based on needed the modesty tights after all.

[bewareofgeek]

Very cute.

Bonus points for putting Hank (Henshaw?) in the traditional villain colors.

I'm kinda confused about the change to Kara's costume. I mean, I get it, yes. Cover a little bit more skin for an all-ages series. But, I didn't think bare legs were considered that bad. Teen Titans, while having more mature themes later on, started out very much a kid's show, and Raven had the leotard thing there. Plus, they kept Ms. Marvel's costume the same in EMH and SHS (I think, not sure on that one). And I don't think they've ever changed Wonder Woman's costume to pants outside her "Odyssey".

I don't think it's the bare legs so much as the crotch-S-shield, which just looks plain weird.

[jlbarnett]

what's his relationship to Lois here.

[icon_uk]

The classic "Rival reporters at the Daily Planet" stage I believe.

[nezchan]

I kinda like going back to the old "Jimmy Olsen, Boy Reporter" image. Comforting in a way.

Fuzzy the Krypto Mouse?

[icon_uk]

He's new for this title! :)

[lieut_kettch]

Hmmm... I guess if NuSupes now wears his undies properly, then Bizarro should be the one to wear his underwear on the outside.

[cypherfdp]

Chris, no, what are you doing

what are you doing

:(

[liara_shadowsong]

[blackruzsa]

Oh oh oh this is cute :)
