Contuing a them today.

ComicBookResources has the preview of #85 as the Vitriumite War aftermath have finally begun to settle down to a new kind of peace. And during said peace, well, stuff happens.

Select images from the preview, because I'm a dirty boy.





I wonder what aliens must think of our "beast with two backs."



Got to say it keeps things healthy. Live that his frown turned upside down in the last panel.



Worse than teenagers, I swear.
While I like the idea of characters having sex, it breaks my heart because of their counterparts in the DCU. I'm glad I'm out.

It's comics.

Yeah, in the end if the writers have Superman having sex with a normal person it means his powers are controllable enough for it to work. You don't go into all the details unless there's a good story reason for it, just like you don't go into the details of how Superman can avoid crushing stuff all the time with his superstrength. Or how armoured characters urinate while wearing their suits.

It would make an interesting story to have a Superman range character who doesn't get much if any direct physical pleasure from sex with his normal human parter because of his powers. But he still does it because the partner enjoys it, and the pleasure he gets from making them happy is more than enough for him.

Pretty much. A Superman who can't control his powers well enough to have sex is a pretty terrible character, especially because if you apply that standard to anything other than said Superman's dick then he'd be a Superman who slaughters the world just by walking on it. So writers over the years have, for the most part, sensibly elected not to write about that character.

Would you mind if I quoted this paragraph of yours when Superman: Earth One Vol.2 comes out?

Seeing as they're going to go with the same idiotic premise.

I'm happy to contribute to any effort to calling that shit terrible where ever it rears its dizzily self-indulgent head.

By head i mean PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS oh gosh how can anyone think about Superman without thinking utterly and only about his penis.
