Today's Superman/Woman Woman #20 puts Lois Lane in the hot seat for lasso-based interrogation. Which considering that Superman and Wonder Woman are a thing does strike one as a little conflict of interest… and he's not happy about it.

Yesterday, I told you that Justice League 3001 artist Howard Porter was coming on to the Superman ongoing series I thought, as a guest artist for an issue or two Not true He is the new ongoing artist for Superman, for now at least. But what of John Romita Jr? I understand, despite some scurrilous rumour[...]

We learnt on Free Comic Book Day (okay, Bleeding Cool told you a little bit before that) that Lois Lane had outed Superman's secret identity to the world. And he wasn't happy. And while we have seen the impact of that across a number of Superman titles… …in the main Superman comic, we've still been living in the build[...]

Okay, so it may just be for a few issues. But I understand that Howard Porter, the current artist on Justice League 3001 will be drawing the ongoing Superman comic for DC Comics. Presumably while John Romita Jr takes a well deserved break. I really like Howard Porter's current work I also think he's rather undervalued at the[...]

But in today's Superman/Wonder Woman it goes all out With a walk around the White House garden with the man they now call Clark Kent. Beginning with a man who cuts through the red tape faster than a speeding… actually, let's not use that kind of line in proximity to the President, okay? There are issues. [...]

The previous issue was already highlighted by Fox News last week, who saw it as telling a parallel story to Ferguson, with Superman attacking the police as they attempt to break up a protest in his neighbourhood and burn down the buildings to avoid, well, alien cooties Which culminated in Superman's assault against the commanding officer.

The Superman titles have been divided into those dealing with the days before Clark Kent's identity was outed to the world by Lois Lane (Superman) and those afterwards (all the rest) Today's Batman/Superman does a number of interesting things in that regard.

Yeah, uh, sorry about that John. And it didn't go down well. And[...]

One month ago, the comic book series Action Comics saw the now-outed Superman, defending the neighbourhood in which he grew up, against the police, ordered to burn the place down, due to unfounded fears of Kryptonian infection And it breaks out into violence.
