This is a reboot done right.

Brilliant!

Why doesn't DC look somewhere else other than it's roster of old mediocre creators for writing duties.

Isn't there anyone new?

@azza04: Loved him. But I wouldn't like the new one even if I hated the old one.

I think your in the minority. Superman had by and large felt very bland before. That's not saying he needs to be a murderous 'tude driven character to be successful. It just means the writers sucked.

It's Marvel

Always assume it's the wrong move. They are terrible at character planning.

I disagree, I think reintroducing them now, in the way they are, is the best possible way to indoctrinate people into the characters. Then when the next event rolls out (HOPEFULLY AT LEAST 2 YEARS), they can roll them into the continuity with built fan bases.

I mean while the JSA books were decent under Johns etc, JSA kinda suffers from the same ailment as the Legion. Most modern fans don't know enough to care, or just don't care. JSA to a lesser extent than legion stuff. So rool out Mr. Terrific and Huntress now, and work them in.

Marvel,

Here's a novel idea. Release these sorts of things in trade format. That way you can get on to the next event "road to" "prelude" in the SAME MONTH.

And you can get a chump to spend $20 on the trade instead of buying the 1st 3 issues before realizing it's slag.

While the new venom series is good from what i've read. This is why marvel makes up less than 20% of my weekly purchases

We won't have a chance to get to know thisversion of Ma and Pa. More importantly, without parents to keep him in line, Superman is going to simply be a socially awkward hero without the heart of the hero that we've seen over the years.

I'm cool with that, Superman has been by and large super lame, for at least a decade. The character doesn't some socially awkward, by nature, and if so so be it. Most comic book readers are slightly socially awkward.

The addition of more bravado, and righteousness to the character is welcome. He's not some mindless, straight laced boy scout bot any more. He's a critical thinking, assertive, otherworldly force of nature that answers to a higher call, than mere laws and social constructs. I'd say he had pretty good parents if he's willing to be an individual in this day and age.

Ultimate Spider-Man has been just fantastic. Between the art, pacing and development, just outstanding.

I really appreciate the fact he's not just a Peter Park knock off, between the power set changes (awesome) and the home dynamics. Just fantastic.

@FadeToBlackBolt:

Is it the worst or just the worst executed.

There is potential in the story. It just turned into a marketing fiasco of three stooges proportions.
