    true.....on a side note, is it just me or does it eem like the really good artists, the Jim Lee's and Jerome Opena's and Tony S Daniels'of the world, only spend a limited amount of time on a given comic before all they do is variant covers?

    @ultimatesmfan: @jaken7: Easy does it you two, both your opinions are reasonable to hold. And Jaken, I liked the Simon Baz arc too, it was my favourite New 52 GL story arc from Johns. After that, he ended on a sour note IMO.

    @lvenger: Okay cool, that's good to hear.

    Hahaha, I like how you've always called me "Jaken" almost like Jaqen H'ghar from Game of Thrones. It's Jake...N7 (N7 is the Mass Effect reference). XD

    You're still El-Venger though right? Not La-Venger like G-Man pronounced it in the James Robinson podcast? Lol

    @jaken7: Ah that's how I pronounced it in my head, I forgot you based your name on Mass Effect :P And yeah I pronounce my username El-Venger rather than La-Venger as G-Man says it but I don't mind how Tony says it, it actually makes sense honestly. I considered calling myself El-Venger but decided to go with the above username instead.

    @lvenger: Yeah, when you "@" somebody, it writes their name in lowercase so it comes out jaken7 instead of JakeN7. Easy mistake.

    And yeah, I've always pronounced it as "El" but I like both.

    The colorist or Klaus Janson did a wonderful work on reworking Romita's Superman face. Ulysees sounds very similar to Wraith from Superman Unchained.

    Also the drolling in the cover looks rediculous :-P

    Fist thing I thought

    @lvenger: The N7 is the only part that's in Mass Effect. It's just like it looks, letter and number (Enn Seven).

    Yeah, that’s him. Adam Blake. When I try to remember his "heroic" name, somehow I constantly get First Superman or Forgotten Superman.

    But the face. It doesn't look remotely as Superman and the drolling only makes it worse. Now a good question is if that giant robotic hand is Ulysees's.

    @z3ro180 said:

    Indeed. At least try to make it similar. Even the jaw is off.

    And it's not like Superman's face doesn't have standard features. The square jaw, the chiseled chin, the cheeckbones. His face is pretty much defined.

    I think the difference is that Superman is traditionally handsome, and Thor is generally barbaric in appearance. So JRJr works better for Thor than Supes.

    Theme month cover variant? So this is going to become a line-wide monthly thing? Weak.

    Every month DC has a Theme month variant. This month was steampunk, next month is Batman 66'. The "theme month" variant for June is unknown.

    The theme is Bombshells

    You can see how much he(probably or the colorist) improved Superman's face in the flying pic.

    His Cap run was terrible, he chanelled "Kick-ass" all over it but it doesn't work the same.

    You haven't read his Action Comics run do you?
    And what do you mean with JLU, because if you mean the cartoon he hasn't write in it.

    Yeah, that art isn't particularly great even for JRJR. Honestly, I think the only time I've ever really enjoyed his art is on Kick-Ass.

    Couple that with the fact the Geoff Johns is writing this series and that adds up to me not buying action comics.

    Not only that.His proportions and everything was just terrible.At times Cap's head was bigger than his body and some things looked pretty ridiculous.The worst thing about it was that Janson was yet again working with him but even he couldn't make things look better.

    I decided to wait for some time and then check it again – maybe it was just first strong negative impression…

    …but it still looks like some cavekryptonian ancestor of Clark, not Clark himself. That’s pretty unfortunate because, with exception of faces, Romita Jr.’s art is tolerable enough. Sigh… Why DC couldn’t simply keep some of previous artists on Superman title?

    Honestly I don't think it looks that bad. ALTHOUGH the drooling does seem like it should have been colored differently. I fear that this will be similar to Unchained.
