Superman and the Authority #4 - "Widescreen"

[laughing_tree]

The notion that you could get the same thrill of watching Superman take down an authoritarian regime but you put it on another planet so it doesn't seem as crass that Superman could solve all our problems. But you can put him on a planet where he can solve the problems of some ridiculous, symbolic problems of human nature, I liked that. It really worked and gave me an ending to the story that was different but it did what I wanted. It took it out of what Superman has been doing for all these years fighting the same Brainiac and Luthor but leaves it behind to say he's going to take it on a higher metaphorical level. -- Grant Morrison

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

[icon_uk]

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

Alas, another week, another unexpected deadline-heavy work project arrives, so you're on your own again my pretties. Chat amongst yourselves.

Strange Adventures #12

[lordultimus]

Tom King: "Mister Miracle, which I think is probably the best thing I ever wrote, is ultimately this warm story about surviving adversity, which is the mood I was feeling at the end of this last decade. Strange Adventures is a much angrier book, a much more caustic book. Mister Miracle was about how we survive through love. But this is about how we react to evil and how we deal with it and confront it. To me, it's a much more active book, and it reflects more of the emotional place I am in now, where I'm done with surviving. I'm ready to fight."

"Secret X-Men" announced

Remember when the Hellfire Gala had a vote for the new X-Men team?

There were winners and losers in the vote because it was also a real world social media vote thing?

( Well.. )
