DarkeSword Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 What if Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van had a rocketship big enough to save themselves along either infant son Kal-El? What if they also went to Earth? There's a new 3-issue Elseworlds mini-series that DC is putting out this August that runs with that premise. Solicitation on DC's Site Interview with Cary Bates, the writer I love Superman stories that examine and spin the origin in interesting ways (like Red Son). This should be pretty exciting. Quote
JH Sounds Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Yeah, it's great when a well-known piece of material gets reinterpreted, rearranged and rewritten. I doubt people around here would enjoy that kind of thing, though. Anyways, I'm definitely intrigued. Quote
Vivi22 Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Those tend to be the Superman stories I love as well. I like the character in general but I find so many writers have trouble writing him consistently well that I tend to stay away from the monthly stuff. I'm interested to see more on this but can't say I'm overly familiar with Bates work. It's probably colouring my opinion somewhat that the largest body of work he did was during an age of comics that I'm not overly fond of from a writing stand point (not that there weren't some great ideas back then, I just find it hard to get into the way things tended to be written back then). I won't be discounting it out of hand though since I think it's a cool idea and look forward to seeing how it goes. I may check out the reviews before I jump into this one, but it has potential.

The Author Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Interesting, it may be added to my list if I get a job. Been a bout a month since I picked up my comics, the box must be getting full at the store. Quote
Brushfire Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 But that don't beat Superman: Red Son there Gecko Quote
DarkeSword Posted May 20, 2010 Author Posted May 20, 2010 No, he's right. True Brit is amazing. Quote
Eulogic Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 They are pretty incredible, for the most part. Even the bad ones. Quote
Bleck Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 They are pretty incredible, for the most part. Even the bad ones. maybe this is just me but I think this is because the DC universe has become inimitably ridiculous Quote
DarkeSword Posted May 25, 2010 Author Posted May 25, 2010 Has become? It has always been like that. Quote
