Superman fans just got angrier!

SPOILERS for the Superman titles after Convergence.

Lois outs Clark Kent as Superman.

Yep, from steadfast partner and love of his life to...this.

Of course, it may just be for a storyline, but....sheesh.

Why did DC fight to keep the rights to Superman, anyway? They seem to hate him.

The title of the storyline is Truth, so its been speculated for a while that this would happen.

This stuff doesn't matter to me anymore. I read it and shake my head and go "Enh". The last time Superman was relevant was when he was dead. DC hasn't known what to do with him since. Think about it...what was the last REALLY good, iconic Superman story arc in either "Superman" or "Action Comics"?

[thunderbolt]

Bizarro World by Eric Powell was the only one I picked up since Byrne's run. Other than All Star Superman I haven't read any newer Superman stuff.

What is Convergence? A mini "re-setting" the DC Universe, or is it ongoing?

The Aquaman Shrine is mentioning it in conjunction with Arthur's appearances.

hell, everyone should be madder about the bunny eared Batman robot.

I just did a guest spot on another podcast, and the topic of Lois came up, and how they've really marginalized her since breaking up the marriage. I guess she's more important now...but not in a good way.

Doesn't count, not one of his two main books, it was a vanity project. That's the problem, in the day to day ongoing battle for Truth, Justice and the American Way, DC has nothing relevant to say. So mini-series and specials and vanity projects aside, they try these outrageous twists to get people to pay attention to the character. In the modern era this goes back to Electric Superman. Compare the New 52 Superman to the New 52 Batman...there's a lot of praise for Scott Snyder's run on "Batman". How many creative teams have had their shot at the Man of Steel in the same time frame.

[The Bat]

Counts to me...because I don't buy either of the two main books.

[The Toyroom]

Dude, you're simultaneously missing and making my point for me...

Naw, I get ya Anthony...I'm just messing with ya. As for the last run of Superman Comics I seriously collected, was when John Byrne was handling the books.

[samurainoir]

Yeah! Lois Lane has NEVER tried to do that in the 75 year history of their relationship!!! ... oh wait...

They should go back to the story lines where Lois either tried to trick Superman into marrying her, or tried to discover his secret identity every other issue, and he'd just messed with her for fun. Ah, the good ol' days eh?

I stopped buying comics a dozen years ago...so this is pretty much irrelevant to me.
