Dark Crisis: Worlds Without A Justice League: Superman #1 - "Out There"

[laughing_tree]

I mean, I don’t think you can say the world is more imploding now than it was when Superman was made by two Jewish kids in the late ’30s. When their cousins and grandparents are being killed overseas. He was born into an imploding world as an American ideal — he’s always stood for that and been that. -- Tom King

I've been a fan of Tom since his days on Grayson, so although he's probably better known for his 12-issue 'war-is-hell' epics, I still primarily think of him as writing fun formalist done-in-ones. I've got two young boys who haven't quite figured out what a knucklehead their old man is, so it's fantastic to be drawing a story about Superman trying to live up to the high standards of his own father. -- Chris Burnham

Red Sonja Fairy Tales

[stubbleupdate]

There's a lot of Red Sonja titles on the go just now, and I don't really care for any of them.

However, the Red Sonja Fairy Tales One Shot was tempting, and was actually an alright read.

This is largely because it's as much a Witcher story as it is a Red Sonja story.

Now, the Witcher doesn't appear in this. At all. But the tone is the same, and can be summarised thus

People: Hey, Witcher, will you help us with this fucked-up situation?

Geralt: That is a fucked-up situation indeed. Would you consider applying some ethics?

People: No.

Geralt: :(

People: Anyway, Witchers are emotionless monsters.
