And that's how Superman gets infected by the Doomsday virus.

okay..... wait... what?

[superfangirl1]

Apparently the Doomsday that Superman fought and died defeating many years ago was just a lava.

Doomsday has evolve now to where he can simply absorbed power from living things to make him stronger and have a death/heat aura thing going on that torches, melts, and burns everything in his path.

[espanolbot]

Makes sense, he was created to survive any eventuality, so naturally Doomsday constant comes back with some new and interesting manner to kill stuff everytime he comes back.

...Until the time he evolved sentience, which proved to be a bad move as that enabled him to feel fear for the first time, meaning Superman was just able to hurt it until it agreed to stop. Or something.

Just a lava? Seriously?

[nate_abril96]

Larva.

[superfangirl1]

Oops a little spelling error. Sorry and thanks. :)

[big_daddy_d]

Eh I don't care about the spelling error, I just find the ideal of the Doomsday of old being a baby in any sense of the word.

[darth_cloudo]

I've been looking at so much evil Superman lately that it took me a minute to realize he's the good guy here, hah. Also did he inhale Doomsday...spores?

[superfangirl1]

Yes, because its deadly to everybody else but Superman.

[darth_cloudo]

Ohh, I see, I thought he inhaled them by accident. So he's like a vacuum cleaner!

[doctor_spanky]

It really bothers me that they're fighting on the SURFACE of Venus. I guess it's not a gas giant in the DCU

[lencannon]

Venus isn't a gas giant.

[obsidianwolf]

Venus isn't a gas giant toxic atmosphere yes but that shouldn't be a problem for the two of them.

What we should be bothered that we can see the sun in the sky in a few glimpses as they are fighting. Given the thickness of Venus atmosphere we shouldn't be seeing it if they were on the surface.

It looks like they got Mercury and Venus mixed up..

[doctor_spanky]

I'm stoopid nevermind

[arilou_skiff]

IIRC, Gas Giants actualy (probably) DO have a surface, or at least "kinda solid core" where the gasses are just compressed hard enough they're kind of solid (or at least liquid)

[thatnickguy]

Cripes, the art in this is atrocious. I can barely tell what's going on half the time.

[skemono]

Wow, Superman remembered he can actually shove people into space, thereby minimizing collateral damage from their fight. Kudos.

[dr_archeville]

When I first heard of this -- that Superman was infected with a "Doomsday virus" (and not knowing of Doomsday's prior appearance in the New 52) -- I thought they were doing a new take on Doomsday, making it like the creature(s) from John Carpenter's THE THING. Which would be an interesting twist on the "adaptation" thing it's had.

[capnduckman]

So, has John Henry shown up in Nu-52 then?

[superfangirl1]

He showed up in the issue and tried to fight Doomsday and got saved by Wonder Woman.

[nate_abril96]

He's always been around. Ever since the start in Morrison's Action Comics.

[big_daddy_d]

So anyone, tell me, how would you rate this against the original Death of Superman? The Way DC hyped this, just seems like it's supposed to be as big or bigger. Is it the kind of sequel that's good, yet isn't as good as the previous story? Is it the type that just totally sucks? Is it surprisingly better? What do you say?

[featheredserpent]

"I'm powered by the sun, so instead I'll fly him to a planet with an atmosphere so thick I can't see the sun, instead of, y'know, flying him into the gorram SUN."

[skemono]

Isn't Doomsday also powered by the sun? I seem to recall that being a thing in the old DC, at least.

[maelstron]

It was never said that doomsday gain power from the sun
