ACTION COMICS #1025

[superfangirl1]

In the beginning of this issue. We found out that Ms. Leone and Dr. Glory from the hidden mafia are from earth 3 and came to Earth prime many years ago.


Ms. Leone decides to use the Mafia’s emergency final option contingency plan to take care of the super-family.

WHY DID YOU END THAT THERE?

also i thought for a second that would be superboy prime....

[superfangirl1]

The issue ends on a cliffhanger. I really hope Conner is okay.

Jesus Christ, the social media is going to be unbearable.

[iamrman]

When is it not?

[strejdaking]

Yeah, but if people already went nuts over things like Bendis doing a "why does it look like Lois Lane, who has an evil alternate reality version that appeared like five issues ago, has gone EVIL" cover, imagine what this is gonna do.

[mistersandman]

Prediction: Conner is fine but his "tactile telekinesis" powers are screwed up in a way that will distinguish him from Jonathon Kent.

Ordinarily, I would say that a writer wouldn't bring a character back from non-existence then kill them just a year later, but with Bendis, it could be a toss-up.
(Remember that hot minute he was super in to Noh-Varr, then got bored of him? okay, he didn't kill him, but he's not above throwing out a character because of lost interest.)


There was an issue of Astro City, Long Ago, which had a story about a lawyer trying to prove a man innocent of murder, eventually resorting to "well, maybe it was his double from an evil alternate universe!"
Can't imagine there isn't something similar in the DCverse.
(you'd think that at least would be easy enough to prove.
Unless Lois just thinks Good Leone is lying to cover her ass.)


... is it anyone else, or is Bendis's dialogue a little off here?

[mistersandman]

Isn’t that how Luther avoided punishment for crimes leading up to Infinite Crisis?

[zachbeacon]

Yep, and before that didn't he blame his cloned "son" ... who blamed the original Lex?

[thanekos]

Super-Parasite, or " If you need to scrimp on any of this, John, do it here. We can make it up with the colors. "

Hey, that worked for Frank Miller with The Dark Knight Returns, and I think that works here.
