Good luck to you, asshat

@TheHyruleElf Dude, you're the one being an ass. @Pseudnik How are Clark and Lois in this dysfunctional?

I liked this issue but also see it as dysfunctional. I don't really understand why Lois would spend months in a hotel room away from family to concentrate on writing a book when Clark still goes to work and Jon is off world. Yet still need regular visits from superman. Maybe I'm missing something. We have been teased for several issues about a big secret. Without that I would have thought this was a great issue.

@Doomy I'm calling this guy out on his shit. "Political Posturing?" What does that even mean? If that makes me an ass, than go ahead dude.

Calling someone an 'asshat' because they have a different opinion than you is wrong. Pseudnik has a right to their opinion and they didn't personally attack someone. Frankly, Bendis' Lois and Clark relationship to me seems odd and out of character, so I stopped reading supe and action, but will give this a try due to Rucka. I think most people know Rucka is a pretty political guy and it will show in his stories, so I'm assuming this is what they meant by 'political posturing'

Yea this start out seeming to be good but quickly turned to garbage.

was this any better than Batman: Odyssey?

I didn't read Odyssey, but this was pretty bad. The art to me just had heavy inks and the story was kinda hard to follow. I like Deadman and saw it through to the end, which the end was disappointing. I don't know...if your really, really like Deadman I guess pick it up, but it wasn't that good.

that sounds a lot like Odyssey. it was a terrible terrible story, but i was so excited to see Neal Adams drawing Batman again that i rode that ship to the bottom of the ocean. i tried the Superman Neal did a while ago and that too was sadly disappointing. maybe i'll try the first issue to see if it's atl east worth getting a collected TPB? . . . . on sale of course! . . . . . . btw, don't bother with Batman Odyssey. i recently tried to read it, and it just ended up giving me a headache.

I tried that Neal Adams Superman and gave it about two issues and dropped it. Haha...yes; don't pay full price for the Deadman trade

it took me a bit to find this thread in my activity. i just got the digital trade of this for $4.99. . . . . sure i probably overpaid? but i figure i might at least enjoy it for the art. . . . . don't know if you read Digital or not? there's a huge DC Comics sale at comixology until this friday. Nov.23,2018. . . . . many digital trades for only $4.99.

I read mostly physical books, but I do get some things digitally. $4.99 for whole series?? If so I don't think you overpaid. Curious what you think of it. I actually had trouble following story

i've been collecting for so long that i've got far too much to store. plus it gets harder and harder to decided what to keep and what to sell. after seeing comics piling up with DC's many different weekly series i've decided to go digital for some things. . . . Yeah! i got the WHOLE series collected for only $4.99. ...i liked the art a lot. the story was... well, i really did enjoy the art!! :D

Ha!! At least you only paid $4.99. I have same issue with storage too. I just like the feel and smell of a new book in my hands, but I only get maybe 12-15 books a month. Not too bad

yeah. i just wish i'd had the same good sense to wait on Batman Odyssey. i'd bought all the single issues, the hardcover, the TPB and then in digital. The story was awful, but i really like the art in that one. "12-15 books a month" 12-15 single issues? ...i probably buy even less than you. problem is, i've been collecting for so long, i've got walls of filled longboxes lined up. and that's even after getting rid of more than half of what i've accumulated over the years. ah! to be a collector.

Wow...I'm not quite there. I have about 5 or 6 longboxes, i went a long time not reading comics. Got back in about 5 years ago. Yeah - 12-15 single issues a month. That probably is kinda a lot

i've been collecting on and off since the late 80's till now. if i knew then what i know now, i'd never had sold my 1st prints of Batman #426-429 or my original set of Mirage TMNT. live and learn. ..yeah i'd gone a long time out of the game too. Grant Morrison on Batman drew me back in. i was buying 11-12 issues a month. once the new52 hit i was up to 30+ issues a month. though i did drop quite a few of those after a few story-arcs in.

when DC started with their weekly series and having multiple events on top of one another, i had to drop a LOT of what i was buying. some titles i went cold turkey, some i decided to trade wait. but there are some stories that i really enjoy the art, story or both that i'll actually pull the single issues as well as double dip for the collected edition. sometimes even get the omnibus. there are some series like Lone Wolf & Cub or Berserk that i have to buy digital just to save space.

I started in 80s too. I'm same way...if I knew then what I know now I would not gotten rid of my Walter Simonson Thor issues. Life of a comic collector...what drew me back was geoff johns doing Green Lantern/Flash reborn and blackest nights TPB. Then picked up Infinite Crisis and Legion of 3 Worlds TPB...from there jumped back into single issues with new 52

well, alright!! very cool to chat with another longtime reader! :D . . . yeah, it's not easy deciding what to keep and what to ditch when it starts piling up. true be told, i don't regret some of the comics i've sold as much as i'd like to imaging i do. i know i just don't have the space for everything. ..ha! i actually just picked up Blackest Night 0-8 in the recent digital sale. i'm pretty sure i also got the collected Infinite Crisis volume as well as a bunch of other great DC collections.

though my next read will be 'Uzumaki' by Junji Ito. i promissed my girlfriend i'd read that next. it's her favorite graphic novel, and i kind of own her since i'd gotten her to read all of Morrison's spanning Batman run, the Tomasi Batman & Robin, and a bunch of other series as well. ...so far i've read the first chapter. it's actually really good. very disturbing in a good way for those into horror. the art in particular is what i'm really enjoying in it. B&W inks with detailed cross-hatching.

Well, now I'm quite interested. I'll have to check it out.

ohhaimark, check this one out if you ever get the chance - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://www.comixology.com/Uzumaki-3-in-1-Deluxe-Edition-Vol-1/digital-comic/721027

Alright! That looks good. I have a lot to read right now, but I'll get around to it eventually.

Man, can i ask you somethin, is doomsday clock canon?!

Not sure where it fits in current continuity but as far as I know it might be, there are stories that at least tie-in to Dr Manhattan's prescence in the DCU

All i know is that is set one year in the future!

He doesn't have the "voice" of anyone right, he is taking a veritable crap on every single character here and the Superman legacy all at once. This is utter garbage.

RBL i coundn't have said it better myself!!

I concur!! Dropped this when I saw where it was headed. What's wrong with portraying a healthy, happy family like Tomasi and Jurgens did?? It grounded Superman. Made him more human and relatable.

Exactly, but i think bendis is not allowed to destroy the family, cause in doomsday clock, they're still together and fine as always, so it's like a relief to me, what i'm really afraid is what he has prepared after doomsday clock gets concluded

He has prepared because in a tweet he said about issue 1 or 2 of Superman, he said after doomsday clock it will make sense

And his messing up Jons voice and Lois has already destroyed the family. His man of steel issue was only good at issue 6

Yeah but i think all the events that are happening right now are placed before doomsday clock, i think what you're talking about was barry's hair turning red, right?!

Yea

Yeah i read an interview where he said it will all be explained in the upcoming events of doomsday clock, or it could be an ink problem

Well.. i'm only going to read after dr.Manhattan reestablishes the fabric of space

Honestly whether Doomsday Clock plays a part or not, bendis' bread and butter as far as storytelling goes is hamfisting a story regardless of how is goes against all characterization and breaking any consistency with continuity. Since Supes is the most storied hero in comics, it just exacerbates this "practice”. It won't improve, it's gonna remain crap until a new creative team takes over and they will have their work cut out fixing all his "work”.

Yeah,you're absolutely right, guess we'll have to wait two years to read another decent story, i'm not purchasing this crap!

Or wait until the sales fall

You've concisely said exactly what my reviews want to express. He is the most ill-suited wirter for this character.

*writer

I do get why anyone would like this. What I don't get is how there can be three other users in this review section having the same exact reviews as you with identical scores and dates. And all of them were created in the span of the last three days. Surely, nothing wrong is going here.

I've been calling bendis' run crap from the start of the Man of Steel mini, so speaking for myself, I wouldn't bother making other accounts when I consider the reviews I write to be enough.

Hahaha are you sure this guy is not from FBI, man who would've bother to create other accounts, what for.. To atack bendis, i'm just giving my opinion here, and i don't need different accounts to prove my point, that he sucks as a writer; and don't be ridiculous, i wouldn't waste my time since he doesn't even know that i exist, and i don't hate him, he's a good and kind man, but he writes shit, and i'm speaking on my behalf!!

i finally just got the collected edition of this. really looking forward to reading it. :)

I liked it. It was fun.

ah! excellent! i can't wait!
