    George Perez and Jesus Merino had an awesome run on new 52 Superman. I just reread it tonight and I loved it.

    From issue 1, the Superman title has been bad. Pérez, Jurgens, Lobdell... all bad.

    Actually, I never hated any of the Superman issues of the New 52. Some have been less-than-grand, but I've never raged from them.

    shu-shut up.

    I'll say this, Lobdell really went down hill after that arc and his stories became to weird and unstable. I enjoy his RHATO work though

    @pperspectiveandreality: Same to you. It's just I bought the first 9 issues of the series and with hindsight, that was a waste of my money given its quality.

    @thesexyloser: time out, are you a boy or a girl? Your name is confusing me. =D

    As far as Lobdell, I think he ought to stick to vigilsntees instead of superheroes. He's a feat writer, and feats get boring quickly for a guy like Superman. If he wrote Batman it would be better since feats for a nom-powered character are more interesting and potentially creative.

    Aside from the planet bench and the planet punch what notable feats did he give Clark?

    @pperspectiveandreality: Flew from Pluto to Earth in under a minute and found Red Hood and Gang in that time,

    Oh yeah I forgot about that one. But still, thats just 3 notable feats. The way people talk about Lobdell you'd think he did something crazy every issue.

    Yeah, those are the biggest ones IIRC. He did give him new powers/abilities. Like he can increase his own body temperature. But overall the feats don't bother me.

    Ah, Perez’s run. Boring stuff IMO – read issue, forget that you read that issue and never want to reread that issue.

    We all have our preferences. For one to make fun of you because of what you prefer is juvenile. I love dub versions of most anime more than subbed versions. Not a big deal.

    That said. I'm glad you liked those issues.

    @farkam: I guess it is. Because two semesters ago in my creative writing class, EVERYONE was talking about the haps in Attack on Titan, and I had no clue what the hell they were talking about. Hell, I didn't even know it was a show until mmmmmmmm........November?

    Shame on me.

    Same thing happened last semester with Kill La Kill, but then I saw like an episode, and said 'screw that cartoon.' I don't like it.

    My first bought comics was Superman 1-10. The first arc (1-6) is a clusterf#ck to be honest. Even my first comics and I knew it could have been better. When Jurgens took over and introduced Helspont in 7-8 I loved it. 9-12 was okay, Lobdell's zero issue and H'el stuff was great, but after that its poop.
