It's a new canon so it doesn't really matter.

Um I posted a thread on "Superman: Earth One" months ago and as Mr. Blud pointed out correct it's a new continuity that is separate from the DCU. I like how everyone harps on the cover and claims it's "emo" without even had you know read the freaking book!!! Rao...

See the internet has allowed people to make blanket judgment statements like the one Defunct just did without having even read the book. If it is terrible because you're not a JMS fan and don't care to read it because of it, that's one thing but I'm starting to get tired of fans making blanket statements without any reason to, or providing a reason for it.

Is it just me, or does he look a lot like the new Dante design in Devil May Cry?

Here's a preview of Earth One Superman...he looks okay...nothing to drastic, Lois looks hot, Jimmy looks in awe. There is a brand new villain in this book as well, Lex is absent. If this one does well they'll do more. Batman Earth One should be coming out next year.

It's been called "Superman for the Twilight generation" by the New York Post.
And Dan DiDio says the story is "hip, sexy and moody". That's about all I need to know to stay the hug away from it. -------------------- QUOTE You're far too young to be this bitter and angry at the world....  |
