Yeah, I'm sorry... While I was one of those kids who dressed up as Superman with a towel around his neck, I've never found interest in the character per se. The closest I got to the Superman mythos was Smallville.

Interesting stuff

@Kal'smahboi: Man, if next year ends up being an epic failure, I'm killing someone. Or punching someone. Or something. Or whatever.

But I AM doing something, that's for sure!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's all I have to say!

Smallville was decent but had little relevance when compared to the actual character. I highly recommend you check out some Superman stuff though!

Scott Snyder & Jim Lee teaming on a Man Of Steel comic..............GRANT MORRISON EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!! :D So much win :D :D

@HushoftheWind: yep

I kind of hate this. It's like DC's editorial got together and said, "Okay, we have a Superman movie coming out in 2013. Regardless, it will probably do relatively well and we'll probably sell a lot of merchandise and toys. Is there any way we can capitalize any more?" And they came up with this.

Or it could be because 2013 is the 75th anniversary of Superman, Which this article didn't get in to for some reason.

Awesome!! I love Jim Lee's artwork, and Scott Snyder is a great writer!

Does this mean we'll get an issue every 3-6 months?

This is going to be impeccable.

cool cool cool cool cool

Don't know how I feel about Lee on this. I'm beginning to think that although his art is beautiful, it's more suited towards commissions and covers than he is for interior. Maybe it's just me. He can draw really well, but his faces almost all look the same, the only real differentiation point being if the character is male or female.

Read the first arc on John's Justice League and tell me that Supes and Bruce don't look exactly the same.

I might have to start reading Superman!

Add another title to the pull.

Ok, look. When this first started circulating as a rumor, the Superman title wasn't just mediocre. It was pretty bad. If the rumor was true, it meant that they new they had an under performing title and a creative team willing to beef it up, but decided to create a new title, rather than improve on the old one.

To be fair, they have a better creative team on Superman now than they did then, but that was the environment they were in when they made this decision. If they had come to the table and said, "Well damn, we have two pretty good teams that we want to put on Superman. I guess we have to make a new title to accommodate them." Then great. Fine. Take my three bucks (and let's be honest, it'll probably be four.) But now they're doing the same thing they did with Batman during the height of The Dark Knight and Arkham Asylum's popularity. I'm going to buy the book, and it'll probably be terrific. I would like nothing more than to see Superman be successful as a character. It just irks me. Fair enough?

A well thought out response. I agree 100%

I am very excited to see Snyders take on Superman, but would rather they just replace the creative team from the current Superman which I am going to drop now. I don't think there is a need for another Superman title.

I've never been a very big Superman fan, so I'm hoping Snyder and Lee can give me something to change my mind.

YES YES YES

alright no problem, ill just take Action Comics off my pull and Add this.

All i can say is move over Geoff Johns..someone else is now the poster boy of DC. aha

And you know what's AWESOME! is you know eventually Batman and Superman will have a crossover arc/event! im excited! X) This title should be able to hype people even more for the Man of Steel movie :p

@ThanosIsMad: American Vampire is ending

That sucks for fans of the series. I haven't read it, but I hear it's really good. And in the era of Twilight, we need really good Vampire stories.

Does this mean we'll have something that doesn't involve Luthor being connected to evey facet of Superman's life? Cause if so, then I might be interested.

Why would you drop Superman? Lobdell is perfect for Superman. Hell, most of the plots from RHATO would've been better suited for Superman, and his Zero issue was great.

gotta love jimlee

Yes Indeed 2013 will be an exciting year for Superman fans..

Hmm..I'm cautiously optimistic about this. Hopefully, both Synder and Lee will deliver! :)

@SandMan_: Man of Steel and now this? Indeed it will!

This is true. I did enjoy the zero issue, and haven't read the annual yet. I will hold on for a Lobdell arc until I make a decision.

To be honest, I dropped RHATO yesterday. I didn't enjoy it anymore....it was getting a little to out there for me. Like all the characters and their interactions, but that was about it.

As for Superman in general...I've just never really enjoyed how he has been written. I love him as a character, but don't enjoy his rogues gallery and have always found his stories too science fiction fantasy for my liking. I keep Action and Superman on my pull list to merely "keep in the loop" of whats going on...but its been a really long time since I've looked forward to reading him each month. Probably not since All-Star superman.

My thoughts anyways.

Why can't they just put it in Action or Superman regular ongoing. Seriously. Put top tier talent on flagship titles. Profit.

wow, this may actually make superman interesting for the first time ever.

however, i really don't want him leaving any of the books he's been doing amazing on (aka all of them) for this.

Wow, Snyder on both Batman and Superman. That is a dream come true.

Wow.

Will Scott stay on Swamp Thing and Batman?

Well... How 'bout I start w/ this Man of Steel book?

Yes please!

He's on Batman for the long haul. Not sure about Swamp Thing.

@sora_thekey said:

That's definitely a start but I could recommend some other fantastic Superman stories!

@SandMan_:

I need a moment to take it all in Primm, it's just so beautiful
