Silent Hill: Past Life #1
Feb. 1st, 2011 03:16 pmThe Silent Hill series, like most everything else, got a fair share of spinoffs once it got popular. The comics, however, were almost all awful, as one of the abiding characteristics of Silent Hill tie-ins is that they're inevitably done by people who don't understand why the games work as well as they do. The key is that the best games in the series are more psychological than anything else, and the people working on Silent Hill: Past Life seem to actually get that.
Past Life began a few months ago, and is set in the years immediately following the Civil War, when Silent Hill and the towns surrounding it are still small and largely unremarkable. Jebediah, a former soldier and outlaw with a violent past, is coming to Silent Hill with his pregnant wife Esther to make a fresh start.
Silent Hill loves that kind of thing.
( seven pages from issue #1 )

Last issue story we saw Batman and Joe Public drive away one of the Parasites from Gotham.
Now the Blood reaches Keystone as we introduce Argus. One of the better handled New Bloods since the event, still alive and occasionally he's popped up in Flash's series later on.

The answer will both surprise you and be obvious in hindsight.

Remember, this was published before Geoff Johns' retcon that Kon-El is genetically related to Superman.

Among DC superheroes Superman and Batman have always had a special relationship; they're not quite as close as, say, the Flash and Green Lantern, but they've gradually, over their publishing history, become known as close friends.

So how did this happen? In Superman: The Animated Series Superman and Batman first met(and discovered each other's identities) in the episode 'World's Finest'. In the (post-Crisis) comics, it happened in #3 of John Byrne's The Man of Steel miniseries.
