The Saturday Comics: Superman Gets Outed On CBS

2 Jun

June 2, 2012

DC has relaunched all their comics with new number one issues and revamps. That includes their biggest icon, Superman, who also got a pretty meh-looking new suit to boot.

But some things about Superman never change. He still comes from Krypton. He is still a reporter. He still wears glasses as a disguise. His biggest arch-enemy is still Allen Funt. His secret identity is still Clark Kent. He… why are you looking at me like that?

Lex Luthor? Superman’s biggest arch-enemy? Nah, Lex doesn’t even have his own TV show. Check this out:

Well I guess that about wraps it up for Superman. I googled it, the next issue featured a disgraced Clark Kent being rejected as a What’s My Line? contestant. Later issues found Superman getting insulted in a Johnny Carson monologue and Clark Kent getting pranked on Truth or Consequences.

Can’t really call either of those issues high-points in a superheroic career.

The Saturday Comics: Wonder Woman

19 May

May 19, 2012

Wonder Woman is a member of The Trinity, DC’s Big Three. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are the characters most revered by other comics characters, as well as the company and fans. But Wonder Woman has never had a consistent characterization and has had multiple titles cancelled due to low sales. So why? Take a look at these covers and tell me what you see.

So am I wrong about Wonder Woman’s appeal? No I am not.
