I just picked this up from someone on the Bay ..., 18.95 Shipped for the HC book..., no Tax, No Shipping , retails for 19.99 ... so I thought I'd check it out. Looking forward to this ..., Anyone Else ?

I loved J. Michael's writing on Babylon 5 , but haven't read any of his comic work. But hoddie superman reminds me of smallville and i will pass for that reason.

Between Squadron Supreme and his take on (Doctor) Strange, I think JMS generally does a better job on the reinventions than working within regular continuity. He's supposedly a huge Superman fan with one of the largest collections of Supes collectibles Babylon 5 money can buy.
I admit to being curious but I have to say I hate that they are trying to reinvent the character to give him more 90210 appeal.
See, THAT is where you are wrong. 90210? That was 20 yrs ago! No, they're going for a TWILIGHT appeal
I'm not joking. I wish I was...
This Clark Kent is "a Superman for the Twilight era: He's young, he's hip, he's moody. He really fits in with the types of stories people are looking for today," says DC co-publisher Dan DiDio.
I took this as Superman Earth One ....
As in Elseworlds, As in Earth One of the Earth's in the 52 Multi-Universe Worlds. .. No ?
... You Know, When I was looking at it ..., and reading the Descriptions , I was attracted to different aspects, but never thought Smallville ..., However now after reading comments, I suppose it could be somewhat, but Hey, Atleast he's got a Costume you don't have to wait till season 10 for a Maybe.

Seriously why the **** does DC always try to reinvent Superman and always trying to get him dark.....Batman is the dark brooding Character. Superman is the Contrast to Batman.....
This is ridiculously funny crap....freeking emo twilight Jackwagon Superman...what a joke. Let's repackage Superman yet again and give them a 19.99 price tag.....they'll eat it up....
"We wanted to tell a story that's hip, sexy and moody," said DC Comics' co-publisher Dan DiDio..........LOL! Didio is a Dick.

It's sorta funny to read your post, and look at your Avatar at the same time.

This part I agree with. I think he's ruining DC too. Years ago I read an article where he was saying that he wanted to kill Nightwing off and I've hated him ever since. With him, everytime sales get low he decides to have another Crisis and now its at the point where it doesn't mean anything. Even killing Batman off had no meaning. We all knew he'd be back because it would be a bad financial move to permanently off Bruce Wayne. It's at the point where I no longer enjoy the Bat books (Batgirl and Gotham Sirens are the exception) and they are the focus of my collection....or were since I'm quiting with Batman Incorporated.
Didio needs to go. He can take Grant Morrison with him.
