Off the Rack (P)review: War of the Supermen

The Free Comic Book Day edition of DC Comics’ War of the Supermen was a surprising read. The bookend to the New Krypton, War of the Supermen has the potential to set the stage for Superman stories for years to come.

News from Off the Rack: JMS to Take Over Writing Superman and Wonder Woman

Alex Segura posted on DC Comics’ Source Blog that J. Micheal Straczynski will be taking over writing duties for their flagship titles of Superman and Wonder Woman. You can read the information here.

Ticket Stubs: Justice League - Crisis on Two Earths

Imagine there are parallel worlds. Each time a decision is made, a new Earth is created. On one Earth, the Third Reich won World War Two. On another, life never crawled out of the sea. And on one world, everything is seems the same except the heroes we know (Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, etc.) are [...]

Off the Rack: Superman: World of New Krypton #12

Well, here we are, the 12th and final issue of Superman: World of New Krypton. It has been an interesting ride, complete with exciting ups and lackluster downs. Superman has been living on the recently formed planet of New Krypton, a planet of supermen and superwomen. He was promoted to Commander of the military guild [...]

Off the Rack: Superman/Batman #68

Superman/Batman is a series that has not been on my radar in a long time. Despite featuring two of DC’s powerhouse characters, its lack of stable continuity rendered it irrelevant. If you have read a DC comic in the last year, then you know Batman is dead (or lost in time) and Superman is off [...]

Turn Me On: Ruby-Spears Superman

Fans of Superman have another reason to smile as an animated gem from the 1980’s has finally come to DVD. Released in November, this production of Superman compliments the mythos of the Man of Steel. These half hour episodes ran on CBS back in 1988 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Big Blue [...]

Turn Me On: Smallville – Idol

One of my not so guilty geek pleasures is “Smallville.”  In case you have been living in a box, it airs on The CW on Friday’s at 8PM (check local listings).  I have been watching “Smallville” since it first aired 9 seasons ago.  In fact I have watched every episode in every season.  It is [...]

Off the Rack: Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds

Before we get started, let’s get one thing straight: this series has nothing to do with Grant Morison’s controversial event, Final Crisis. My guess is that DC editorial decided to stamp Final Crisis on the covers of Legion of Three Worlds (LoTW) in an attempt to sell more books. So, do not let the taint [...]

Off the Rack: Superman: World of New Krypton #8

If you remember back to last month, the Kryptonians were attempting to relocate one of Jupiter’s moons (Callisto) into orbit around New Krypton. The plan was going smoothly until an army of Thanagarians attacked and damaged the ship guiding the moon through space. As a result, the Kryptonians lost control of the Jovian moon and [...]

Ticket Stubs: Superman/Batman: Public Enemies

Adapted from the pages of the Superman/Batman comic book written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by Ed McGuinnes, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is the latest DC inspired direct to DVD animated film. The original story arc was met with critical acclaim and helped establish the comic book series as one of DC’s flagship titles, even though [...]

Off the Rack: Superman: Secret Origin #1 (of 6)

I am a sucker for three things: Geoff Johns, Gary Frank and Superman. Their work together in Action Comics (Superman and the Legion of Superheroes and Superman: Brainiac) became instant classics. The two seemed able to bring out the best in one another. Both creators have since left the title, but their legacy remains. Naturally, [...]

Ticket Stubs: Superman: Brainiac Attacks

When it comes to animated movies based off of comic books I am usually wary. I learned a hard lesson with Marvel’s Ultimate Avengers and Ultimate Avengers 2, but DC seems to know a thing or two about transplanting their iconic characters from the printed page to the big screen.

I think one of the problems [...]
