Wow that would be something.

I do not believe Snyder has any real sci-fi work under his name, barring the Flashpoint: Superman, so I remain sceptical of him delivering a solid Superman story, but under his pen the title should at least be mildy interesting.

Though this may only be a rumor and could turn out to be entirely false.

@YoggSaron: Yes it is a rumor.
#5 Posted by The_Tree (4169 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

Sounds like it'd be cool and interesting. But then again, it makes me wonder how Scott will juggle work on so many titles. Batman, Swamp Thing, American Vampire, plotting on Talon, and now this? It sounds like it'd be a bit much, he might have to leave something.

He may be off of Talon by the time this book goes into production, provided of course that this isn't just a rumor.

I would buy this in a heartbeat. Superman is my favorite superhero and I've been waiting for a good story with him. Obviously, the normal Superman title hasn't been very good and I'm not a fan of what Grant is doing. I'm excited about Lobdell taking over Superman, but if this is true It'll be the best news I've heard in a while.

Yeah, but even then balancing Batman, Swamp Thing, American Vampire, and Man of Steel is still a bit much.

#12 Posted by cc1738 (307 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

@SandMan_: I know. I can't describe how excited I would be if this happened. The only problem is that it would be a correct piece to the rumor that Johns and Reis are leaving Aquaman. I don't want that to happen. Aquaman is my favorite series.

@SandMan_: if its true here at two pictures on how i feel.

@Z3RO180: 
I hope this is true. It would make sense.

The sad part is, DC isn't really in the "making sense" business at the moment. I hope that changes in a hurry.

#18 Posted by SandMan_ (2350 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio
@Supes1903: Should have done this from the beginning.
#19 Posted by Supes1903 (136 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

I completely agree. Superman has been an abortion at best, this title definitely needs to happen if they want readers to buy something that isn't Supergirl or Superboy because both of those books have been great. Action Comics has been decent, but I'm more excited for what's to come with Diggle.

#20 Posted by Z3RO180 (3735 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

@SandMan_: yea it was funny anyway a superman seris written scott snyder and art by jim lee is a win in my book

Its an auto- buy.

We don't need another Superman comic. They should try focusing on improving the existing one.

#23 Posted by Z3RO180 (3735 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

@SandMan_: so so true

#24 Posted by Avenging-X-Bolt (8829 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

I hope not. Not out of dislike or dis respect for Superman, but out of aching many other characters to get their chance at a title.

#25 Posted by SandMan_ (2350 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio
@Kal'smahboi: We need a good Superman book.
 
@Z3RO180: 
Of course, Snyder + Jim Lee + Superman = AWESOME.

Also American Vampire is coming to an end

He's been in comic book hell for too long.

Exactly. We have a Superman book. Now make it good. They're either wasting resources, or being greedy by deliberately making a third book because they know fans will buy it.

@Kal'smahboi: hopefully with scott lodbell and keneth roccafort takeing up superman with issue 0 will be the begging of the awesome storys for supes and a third title with jim lee and scott snyder would be a well added bomus as well

Anything Jim Lee related has my attention. Yeah he may regurgitate alot of the same poses but I could care less :)

Yes, it would be. I may just be being cynical, but I'll believe it when I see it. Though, truth be told, I'm very interested in the H'el story has to bring.

@Kal'smahboi: oh dont get me started on the H'El story cause i would nerding all over the place with how i think the dudes a super weapon made by some one in the house of el

@Z3RO180: It's been making me think he's Supes' clone from back on Krypton and that he's related to the Kryptonian clone wars. Idk though. I'm just pumped for an exciting Superman story for once.
#38 Posted by SandMan_ (2350 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio
@Z3RO180: H'el looks like Broly, Bizarro, Match and Superboy-Prime's offspring.
#39 Posted by Z3RO180 (3735 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

@Kal'smahboi: @SandMan_: I think he is a clone from the kryton clone wars but he creator is not Jor-El may be Zor-El or Supes grand father cuase kara knew about the war but from what she said implys that she was not there.

#40 Posted by SandMan_ (2350 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio
@Z3RO180: Clone wars?
#41 Posted by Kal'smahboi (2766 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio
@Z3RO180: Ah, gotcha. I haven't been reading Supergirl, so I didn't know the details. Another possibility: maybe some villain has discovered the Kryptonian cloning technology and messed it up?
#42 Posted by Eternal19 (1411 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

one of the best comic book writers today and one of the best comic book artists on a superman book. its to good to be true. But, if this is true it might be DC's attempt at milking superman and building up his popularity since the movie is coming out next year

#43 Posted by Z3RO180 (3735 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

@Kal'smahboi: i dount read supergirl aswell im going of what very very ver little info she said in supperboy issue 6

@SandMan_: Yea on kryton they did experaments with cloneing that ende up in a big war as for what time it happend and who was invovled we dount know

@Eternal19: indeed.

#45 Posted by Z3RO180 (3735 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

@SandMan_: hopefully yes since like @Eternal19 pouinted out his movie is next year so this might happen. Here praying it does.

@Z3RO180: I don't mind Superman being written in the horror genre as long as its well written and good.
#47 Posted by Avenging-X-Bolt (8829 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

Why can't they just put Lee and Snyder on the main Superman title?

#48 Posted by Fudgie29 (70 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

That would be EPIC

#49 Posted by r3d_rob1n (534 posts) - 8 months, 21 days ago - Show Bio

i really hope this is true. We don't know which books will be phased out for the 5th wave though, so it is possible that Man of Steel replaces one of Snyder's other books or one of the two current Superman series. I think it would be amazing to let Snyder have his shot DC's flagship hero, he's been rocking Batman so well that he certainly deserves the chance
