Hey man, let me know if you get this
A great finale to an incredible run! Morrison's tale is both a simple hero facing overwhelming odds story and an interesting commentary on the comic book industry. Liam Sharp has proven time an again throughout this run just how much talent he has and in this finale he exits the series in high style. It's sad to see that DC is seemingly stepping back from Hal Jordan when this series shows how mallmore

It's really amazing when you think about it, that Superman's ideals have stood up for nearly a century and are still relevant.
Superman is kicked out of Metropolis by its new protector, Metallo! Can the Man of Steel take back the city of tomorrow from the villain and just who did Superman bring as back-up?!
This is the Superman I love. Every moment of this comic was perfect. Can Venditti please take over when Bendis leaves?

Venditti for main Superman title.

That Lobo story was a pretty good use of the character. The Mongul one is fine too, but I don't imagine it will be very memorable.

The Main Man himself, Lobo, has come to Earth chasing a bounty, but Superman thinks Lobo is just hurting the little creature. Will Superman put a stop to Lobo, or does the alien have other...
That is actually a really cool way to implement the environment into a physical and sentient looming threat, it will definitely become an even more interesting issue as time moves forward.

Story 2 - Brainiac unleashes a monstrous creature on the Portland airport. Can Superman stop it before it spawns and overwhelms the plane...
This is a really fun story, with some pretty solid political criticisms, but at the same time I am glad this in no way canon because of Lex's character.

This was a really fun series, more enjoyable than Adventures of the Super Sons, my only problem with it is how convoluted it kind of becomes because of the rule/non-rule(?) of the scroll.
You thought this story as all wrapped, didn’t you? Not even close! Well a little close.

It seems Cyborg has already fallen victim to an attack courtesy of GRID! But remember, if Cyborg finds out t...

And as far as all the crazy shit happening, that has happened, yeah, it's hard to wrap your head around it all, but time does help. While Chris Rock may never recover, it has been nice to see that abortion is an inalienable right for so many, including a good portion of Republicans. They couldn't even take it away at the state level in Kansas, aka Republican Mecca.
I hope you and your family are doing okay.
