Cameron Anderson
Honestly I don't know about this. Tomasi's Clark is the weakest part of things because honestly it doesn't seem like he understands Superman at all. Writing a story with him without the family is probably going to be rough even with cowriters helping.
I would like a place for normal Superman solo stories, but it needs to be by someone else.
Camden Brown
>Sinestro returns Good. >Jimenez Starfire
Cooper Flores
That would make a great poster.
Cooper Price
I could not find him Action comic. What is the strength of the yellow ring?
Kayden Anderson
HE Looks hot.

I'm getting Injustice vibes.

Evan Cooper
Don't get my hopes up for Prime Time like that...
Landon Johnson
When do the complete solicitations come out?
Camden Perez
Holy, it's continuing past #12! Maybe the lowest selling titles will make it to #18 before the plug is pulled.
Brandon Hall
>Superman inspiring that much fear
How fucking paranoid and insecure is the world?
Colton Taylor
should be Monday
Logan Diaz
Monday according to Newsarama.
Leo Torres
>Fear-based. thank you
Parker King
No Rebirth titles will be canceled, folks!
Grayson Smith
>Doc Magnus IT’S METAL MEN TIME
Jacob Lee
It's always Metal Men time. Seriously though, they deserve better than Legends of Tomorrow
Anthony Edwards
What's up with Superman always getting corrupted?
Adrian Perry
yellow ring isn't corruption
Thomas Morales
>giant robot woman >metal men I need to catch up with this series
Grayson Ward
Yes, it is. It means that you inspire fear in others. That your presence is scary.
Cooper Flores
>Look up Kraklow out of curiosity >He's an actual character I dig it when writers use more obscure villains
Eli Nguyen
Yellow means to strike fear or master fear.
Jason Davis
>What scares Superman?
Shot in the dark?
Jon: Dad! Guess what? Damian and I are dating now!
Lincoln Richardson
Yeah, some people fear one of the most powerful man in the world, color me surprised.
Guy Gardner wore Sinestro's rings for years during his JLI days. He wasn't corrupted.
Brody Clark
Yeah, so why Superman again?
Elijah Cox
Isn't he a little too much like the Amazo Super Sons Army threat?
Luke Adams
He is either scaring bad guys or is afraid of nothing.
Christopher Adams
He was an hateful asshole, though. Pretty much an anti-hero/anti-villain.
Julian Jackson
Jorge Jimenez is so good. Especially for teen characters.
Logan Gutierrez
Or scaring normal people and doing scary things without giving a fuck.
Jose Morales
>sinestro
He's dead, though.
Ryan Turner
He still wasn't corrupted, and that's the important part here.
Yellow Lantern Gardner was pretty much Green Lantern Gardner with another ring. So was Hal or Soranik. This is not the ring of Sauron.
Lincoln Diaz
That's still not a corruption though. Fear is healthy.
Dominic Howard
>Staying dead in comics
Asher Morales
>“What scares Superman?” To lose his family and friends.
Gabriel Parker
Hal kinda lost his shit for a moment and Soranik was yes being corrupted by her father.
Honestly, Soranik being a Yellow Lantern or her relationship with her father in Sinestro solo made no fucking sense. She came off as a weak-willed fool with daddy issues when before she was nothing like that.
Thomas Jones
Guys it's a fucking comic book cover. He might not even wear the ring. But Lex Luthor's fear alone is probably enough to qualify him.
Carter Gray
Nobody should fear Superman, though. He certainly shouldn't wear the colors of the enemy.
Henry Lewis
>What is s**t, and why is everyone eating it?
Because mellenials have a lower standard when it comes to movies
Jackson Ortiz
Probably, though I guess we'll have to see how it plays.
Aiden Cox
>Nobody should fear Superman Tell that to Lex and Batman. I'm sure there are others. Fear isn't always rational.
John Lopez
Why shouldn't villains fear him?
And Sinestro Corps have done some good. They are not fully the enemy. You are being really dumb here.
Tyler Parker
Didn't he literally force the ring on to her when he gained "cosmic awareness" that the Green Lantern Corps were about to disappear?
Carson Bailey
>Nobody should fear Superman, though He can't control that.
Cooper Rivera
What scares me .. the dentist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tyler Rivera
>He certainly shouldn't wear the colors of the enemy. He might not even actually wear a ring dude. It's a goddamn comic book cover.
Ryder Taylor
I like how Frank puts a degree of Reeve into his Superman
Cameron Sanchez
Batman doesn't fear Superman. He looks up to Superman. Superman signifies hope for a better tomorrow for him.
Alexander Powell
Am I the only one who feels that not much is happening on her road trip. The stories going on in meta and with her friends circle and parents was more intriguing than her visit to Gotham. Why did they even make her visit Gotham if there wasn't anything Gotham about it?
Daniel Brooks
Honestly that's the thing I dislike about his art. It doesn't look right.
Bentley Ramirez
>What scares Superman? Trump
Blake Adams
>What scares Superman? Uncontrolled immigration, which will lead to an increase in crime in Metropolis.
Adam Barnes
I feel you, but the fees are the only thing to fear about the dentist. Numbing is quite good.
Juan Rodriguez
i love the superman books Because the storys are always new..TOMASI Writes good space storys..I hope we get supersons in space storys
Ayden Howard
>It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then… he shoots fire from the skies and it its difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him. He keeps Kryptonite weapons just in case. You're fooling yourself if you think Bruce isn't slightly terrified of Clark.
Blake Parker
I'm waiting for the Supersons Legion story, where they have to keep themselves hidden from young Clark as to prevent a paradox.
Anthony Collins
Is this series good???
Nathan Gray
He understands Superman very well, it's just that he writes him very boring. No charm, no even one bit of Chris Reeve-like cockiness, nothing.
Jason Barnes
>Manhke on art
Ugh, he's ruining this run. Gleason's issues are stellar, the rest are the worst.
Ryder Mitchell
Superman is an illegal immigrant.
Unless you're John Byrne and his NO HE WUZ BORN HERE IN AN EGG shit.
Ian Wilson
It's good as long as you're okay with a new artist for every arc.
Jordan Morgan
I just want an explanation for what the fuck is going on with the Legion in Rebirth. All these little hints and cameos are fucking killing me.
Christopher Nelson
I think he counts as a refugee, what with his home blowing up.
Nathan Morris
I like this cover
Robert Bennett
Tomasi is just a very mediocre and uncreative writer. He can't plot for shit. He could bounce off Morrison's ideas during his Batman, but doesn't have anything to do in his Superman run.
Julian Robinson
There's literally nothing of Morrison in Tomasi's B&R.
Good shitpost.
Austin Anderson
Probably waiting for King to have some free time or they are still in negotiation with Hickman.
Wyatt Jones
Aww fuck yeah, Sinestro's back
DC likes putting Superman in yellow
Cameron Harris
In those days Sinestro's ring was just a yellow power ring, it had nothing to do with fear
Owen Hall
>Damian's death >Not from Morrison
Asher Butler
>letting these hacks get their hands on Sinestro
William Torres
>If you're not ignoring Batman Inc., you are copying Morrison High level shitpost
Nathaniel Diaz
If only this were good...
Ayden Nelson
I don't want King on it. King isn't good for a straight superhero action book.
Juan Young
>Art by SHAWN CRYSTAL FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
Blake Foster
Except it was a huge thing in Tomasi's arc, you autist.
Aaron Baker
Is he the same guy who drew the post Tommy Lee Edwards issues?
Mason Bailey
Yes. I was expecting Tommy Lee Edwards back after the John Paul Leon issues but we get this shitter again. Whoever the fuck thought ti was a good idea to get this fuck on the art rotation needs to be slapped.
Lucas Nelson
The book is "Batman and ROBIN", Robin dies and you expect it to be ignored, you fucking retarded? Are you an Ewingfag?
Jose Bailey
Oh, it's this retarded Ewinganon again. I'll just ignore then.
Isaac Miller
>Crying about this now after Vendetti Johns can't fucking write him forever.
Ethan Smith
>Wants "Batman and Robin" to ignore Robin's death because REEEEEEEEE >Is an Ewingfag
Wyatt Cruz
He's really good at character work. Damian and Jon are really well written and they play off great against each other.
Jack Rivera
Well that's like your opinion bro.
Luis Bailey
DO NOT DARE TO ENJOY TOMASI'S BOOKS!
HE IS A HACK! WHEN MORRISON KILLED DAMIAN, HE MADE DAMIAN DEAD! ONLY A HACK WOULD COPY MORRISON SO BLATANTLY!
John Evans
No he's not. He's fucking horrible.
Brayden Robinson
Is Gleason ever going to draw a complete arc?
Juan Jenkins
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE!
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW HE CAN OUTSELL PEOPLE LIKE EWING! REALLY FUCKING HORRIBLE!
Jeremiah Scott
Well to be honest, almost no one knows how to write a fun Superman nowadays. They just write him as generic good guy.
Superman Adventures by Millar is my favorite Superman characterization.
Chase Perry
And what did Millar's Superman had different? He is pretty much all around a nice guy.
