Superman: Up in the Sky #4 - "Run" & "Man and Superman"

[laughing_tree]

I basically say before each chapter, "if I never get to do another Superman story after this one, what would I write?" So here's one where Superman is boxing. Right now I'm (slowly) writing a Flash/Superman race... -- Tom King

Part 7 - "Run"












Part 8 - "Man and Superman"

Superman gets split into two people after getting hit by weird space lightning:

Because who doesn't want to read a Superman/Flash race packed with more narrative dialouge than a Bendis book?

The second tale reminds me of that great JLA story Waid did where most of them are split into identities with touches like Flash all about showboating while Wally just slackens off. Or Green Lantern unable to make his ring work without Kyle's imagination while Kyle is overwhelmed by creativity he can't get out.

The best is Batman unsure of himself and even dumb while Bruce Wayne is suddenly angered. Eel O'Brien (finding himself drifting into crime while PLastic Man is just nothing but idiotic antics) sums up "we all thought split them up you get a fop and an intense guy. But it's not what we thought because the anger and pain that drives Batman? That's Bruce Wayne."

It only touched on how Clark is more mild-mannered while Superman far more aloof but this nicely showcases how without the heart of that Kansas farmboy, Superman just isnt the same.

How Captain Kirk-like!
