Now Grant Morrison Tackles DC, Siegel And Shuster In Action Comics?
It basically admits that the pair got screwed. Now JMS was defending DC, but it's not too far removed from Chris Roberson's statement about DC being an immoral company that got him fired off of Fairest. And now, in today's Action Comics, set in three or four parallel universes, we get this scene, featuring Clark, Lois and[...]
Scott Lobdell To Take Over Superman From Jurgens And Giffen
Bleeding Cool heard that the New DCU Zero issues in September, now confirmed by DC artists, may lead to some creative changes in their wake.

"Gayness Is Built Into Batman" – Grant Morrison In Playboy
The new issue features an interview with Grant Morrison, talking superheroes This is the kind of thing he says… For me, Superman has the same problems we do, but on a Paul Bunyan scale If Superman walks the dog, he walks it around the asteroid belt because it can fly in space When Superman's relatives visit, they[...]

Superman #8 – Before For The Man Who Has Everything
But I didn't. This month's issue of Superman, by Giffen and Jurgens, gives us the Wildstorm villain Helspont in his war against the Daemonites on Earth, but in doing so captured Superman, in a rather familiar fashion. In a Superman Annual back in the eighties, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons gave us a tale, For The Man[...]

DC Comics To Bring Us The Trinity War Next Year
I understand that DC Comics are planning an "event" next year, entitled The Trinity War.

Thursday Trending Topics: Superman's Big Red S
 As for Superman's S-Shield, it hasn't really changed all that much since around 1940-41 or so  It went through some quick evolution over the first couple years (1938-40) of the character's publication in Action Comics and Superman, but after that — they knew not to mess too much with a good thing. So it goes with the[...]

In October 2011, the comics industry was stunned by the news that an unimaginably important artifact of our history had surfaced nearly 75 years after it had been issued:  The check used by Detective Comics, Inc (the company which was to become DC Comics, of course) to buy the rights for Superman from Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster  for $130[...]

Gambling With The Dark Knight And Superman's Erectile Dysfunction
Marvel stopped all their characters smoking, DC pulped a copy of Superman because the cover featured the grown Clark Kent drinking from a bottle that close examination revealed to be root beer, but having the characters appear on gambling machines was fine, apparently, even if playing them online is illegal in the USA. Now Microgaming has[...]

Tuesday Trending Topics: Shifting Sands Of Superman
 And the original Sand Superman saga from 1971 is still my favorite 70s-era Superman story I stumbled across a cache of this part of the run when I was a kid and read them to tatters Who could resist a Superman story by Denny O'Neil, Curt Swan, and Murphy Anderson that kicked off with that[...]
