So there’s just no Superman comic worth a damn currently ongoing? Goddamn man I’m so sick of this, I leave comics for years and come back all my life over his books being shit one decade and ok for a few years next. I’m getting too old I just want a consistent decent book with supes.

Hasn’t been a worthwhile Superman ongoing since tomasi was kicked off and Bendis ruined Jon. Both action and Superman have been awful for half a decade.
World's Finest is good. Enough with the contrarianism. When Waid wraps it up, it will exist as a nice evergreen collection.
He's doing good work at DC between WF and JLU. I'm excited for his upcoming run on Action Comics. Smallville Superboy and Krypto sounds comfy.
No.
World's Finest is shit.
Both are boring
I'm almost excited to see how bad his inevitable return to the Legion will be.
1. Worlds finest isn’t a “Superman ongoing” those would be Superman and Action comics.
2. It isn’t contrarianism just because you like it (more aptly just because you’re a shill)
World's Finest is boring, safe Silver Age throwback faux wackiness.
Superman is a shitty boring character and has been for half a century.
There’s nothing evergreen about worlds finest though. It tied into an event, finished a storyline from a 20 year old comic (an actual evergreen) has a bunch of ugly art changes and the timeline is all over the place.
If I were James Gunn I’d be demanding the fix the Jon situation if only for the surge in sales to bolster the idea that Superman is in a good place culturally.
Just go back and read the tomasi and Gleason run, along with super sons. Ignore jurgen’s action though.
This. How Jim Lee hasn’t been dismissed and straight kid Jon brought back from space yet is astonishing to me.
"Superman" isn't bad but Jon is an albatross on the franchise, and while the twins are inoffensive, they just don't cut it as a replacement.
Had Bendis / Taylor never happened and we just had normal kid Jon for the past 7, 8 years, the current run with Supercorp and Lois as Superwoman would be received with a lot more excitement.
Williamson's run has more in common with Jurgens / Tomasi but the damage was done before he even started writing the book.
PKJ's Warworld saga on Action was good.
Williamson’s run has been decrepit anon. Bendis, Taylor and PKJ’s action were even worse. But that doesn’t make the current run on Superman nor the “all star” line ups on action any better.
Uh, yeah, no. He said some run of the mill lib bs a few years ago so we've blacklisted him. All his work is retroactively the freakin' worst. And by we I mean my real life friends and I here on 4channel.
I have not read it because I don’t like the art style but I see a a lot of popular praise Absolute Superman as a grand reimagining of the character and Krypton.
I don’t like the writers depiction of Krypton, it reads like it’s just dumping modern problems in the story and calling it a grand new take.
Tomasi era was great.
Unfortunately superman these days exists only to showcase if a villain is dangerous or give other heroes a way to show that they’re not uselss.
How Jim Lee hasn’t been dismissed and straight kid Jon brought back from space yet is astonishing to me.
Because Dan DiDio, his editorial and WB saw him as the man who sold one million copies of X-Men, not as the man's own enterprises failed and had to be bought out by DC.
Yes. Superman comic has been great. You just missed the Doomsday as Time Trapper arc.
Tomasi sucks balls and voted biden unironically
Fuck him
Jon is where he needs to be.
You people vastly overestimate Jon's popularity. Sure most people liked him more as a kid but aging him didn't matter that much because most people simply don't care enough about him.
He didn't get with Dreamer yet?
Muh political enemies
So boring.
Family
what comic is this page from?
superman unlimited starts next month
Voting for an alzheimer patient to run the country is a retarded decision regardless of politics
Superman has been consistently better than Batman for almost 10 years. But like nobody reads comic books, or even less monthly ones
I just got into comics last month. With Superman I got Superman For All Season, All-Star Superman and Justice League: The World's Greatest Super-Heroes
I really like Superman and I'm hoping you can recommend me more comics featuring Superman that you think are great.
I like Williamson's run?
Is this Waid?
the problem isn't that Jon is an adult it's that he's a fag, genius
killed, rebooted, merged with old lore, son aged into a fag
superman hasn't been better than batman since death of superman
Same here.
I don’t, it’s all of his worst quirks all at once.
le villain is le good guy actually
supporting cast? Let’s make them super powered heroes too
you know that thing you all like? Well here’s more! Only this time it’s absolutely retarded
He’s the very worst fan fic tier writer. And I say this having liked his Batman/Superman and some of his flash.
no, there isn't
Is this run good?
ok cynic
>le villain is good guy actually
He just revealed Mercy was evil all along
>let’s make supporting cast super powered too
Only Mercy from Lazarus planet. And Lois after Absolute Power. Jimmy is still non powered and fucking Silver Banshee. Perry is mayor now.
> you know that thing you like well here’s more but retarded
I don’t even know wtf you’re talking about? Doomsday as Time Trapper maybe, rather then the same cliche doomsday plot?
