Do they? I mean, there is a freaking movie of him coming out, plus his current ongoing (Superman and Action Comics) are doing very well as far as I can see. So no, you are wrong on that part!
They learnt a partial lesson. In the sense that they didn’t remove current writers and find him full control. But they missed the more important lesson. That they should stay away from Marvel’s sloppy seconds.
They learned half the lesson they should have. They didn't give Dan all the books honestly if they were going to do anything I wish they had just given him action comics cause that has no direction right now but still wish he was here at all.
In Bendis’ case, the deal was brokered by Diane Nelson who allegedly had no idea how badly Bendis’ sales had faltered. This time around, DC is run by Marie Javins who came up at Marvel the same time Slott did so she knows exactly what he’s like so what’s her excuse?
I respectfully disagree. His She-Hulk run was pretty good too. Prior to that he did a cool mini series for DC with Ryan Sook called Arkham Asylum: Living Hell.
Still ain't getting either, I went back in time and began reading ASM from the beginning with the hope that by the time I catch up to the current run, whenever that will be it will hopefully be better for our boy, Spidey.
They hired Bendis way past his prime and gave him the Superman books. And those books were doing great at that time with Tomasi and Jurgens. That was the worst move ever. Hiring Dan Slott doesn't come close to it.
Lex Luthor will swap bodies with Superman at the last moment and die from cancer, Lex will then feel what it means to fight for Truth, Justice and the American Way and have a newfound begrudging respect for Superman and what he stood for and from there he will solemnly swear that he will from then on live as The Superior Superman. Also, Lex is going to try and bang Lois, and it is going to be weird and be a gray area of "is it consent or not?" but we're going to move past that and act like that didn't happen. Oh, and we are also taking this moment to break up Lois and Superman too while we are at it. Cause why not?
I can't wait for Superman and Luthor to switch bodies and for Superman to find out there was another female Kryptonian hidden on earth all along and she's better than him in every way. Lol
Where are the new upcoming writers. It's always the same people working in Marvel and DC. I'm not surprised by this move from DC they do this all time. Sabotaging themselves so Marvel can always be number one.
By the time the old fartes finish dying off, the characters are public domain. The Owners of the IP figure that's no coincidence, that's the will of God.
They never learn, it's just a very long downhill ride. So glad I'm not buying this stuff anymore. I was spending $75 a week, sometimes more, on bad comics. My son came last February, and that was the perfect motivation to break my comic addiction. I don't know if I'm ever going to go back, but I keep up with things going on with Wes, and a few more YT channels
It constantly amazes me how these schmucks and jobbers keep getting work in Big Comics, in spite of their failures. That old saying is right: "It's not what you know, it's *who* you know." On the other hand, this just makes me appreciate independent comics even more. Usually, you have to actually be good and work like hell to get traction as an independent.
DC has a real opportunity with this new movie coming out. They could get a new batch of readers looking for good comics. If they only find garbage they won’t stick around.
I saw him give a talk a few years back in London. All he talked about was the stupid ideas that Marvel wouldn't let him do to Spiderman. One was about Spiderman fighting and dancing with robots at a Disco! May Jor-El protect Supes!
Wonder Woman: The Iron Age (because of her bracelets) Wonder Woman: The Ice Age Wonder Woman: The Bronze Age (because of her Tiara) Wonder Woman: The Heroic Age (because of women are the real heroes or whatever)
DC has over complicated the character to the point where he is unrecognizable to the version that John Byrne, Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway rebooted back in 1986. If they want to start with a new direction, why not go to the original version by Siegel and Shuster?
DC still trying to promote the trinity...wonder woman has always been a mid-card character....that's why over the years they've tried to make her xena.
I’m a laid back fan, but the fun ongoing joke with my LCS owner is he knows I do not like Dan Sloth…. He couldn’t wait to post this announcement and tag me in it. Lol
The fact that DC didn’t use legacy title names like “Adventures of” or “Man of Steel” is a relief. Using a never used name feels like it can be discarded more easily. I can’t see this lasting longer than a year to promote the movie.
"Superman is too strong" has always been an idiotic take. For decades they got around that by putting Superman's friends, family, Lois, and various innocent people in impossible jeopardy that Superman has to get them out of.
Jor El: Earth is a terrible place to send our child. Let's pick some decent planet like Apokalips. Lara: Darkseid holds traditional family values, unlike Earth people.
I was sort of thinking Slott might be a better fit for Superman because he never actually understood Spider-Man, but you've made me doubt that he actually does get Superman because yeah aspirational seems a bit much for him. Well, whatever, he destroyed Spider-Man I'll never buy another Slott book out of spite so.....not my problem!
Yes that is two books I have no interest in reading. Green Lantern Fractured Spetrum was pretty darn good. Very excited for the next arc plus the return of GL Corps.
It was already bad enough they brought over mark waid, but now dan slott coming over to ruin more. What's next? Is Marvel going to get tom king to do a main run on spider-man or daredevil? The nightmares never end...
Slott did many damage in ASM turning Black Cat and Ben Really in villains for example. But I don't believe that him can be worse than Brian Michael Bendis that wrote the worst run of the Man Of Steel in your entire history. Nobody can forget how Bendis ruined Jon Kent character. I hope that this be just ok comic in the best or a forgettable book in the worst case scenario.
I only bought Space Age for Alred's artwork. I loved it. No idea what other books were written by Mark Russell, but I loved this story. The ending was brilliant. Dark Age wasn't as good, but still enjoyable.
Hey loved the video. I'm glad I watched it because now I know it's not a good idea to read the new Superman book. I don't like the plot. Yes Kryptonite is so over used and dare I say lazy writing. I like the idea of a new villain that is doomsday level bad ass. Someone that he can't beat at not right away. But I do agree with you DC comics is getting hot. I've been enjoying the new Aquaman Book and The Challengers of the unknown, and Worlds Finest is awesome as well.
Well I definitely know what Superman book I am not checking out. I have no desire to Read Superman by Dan. I need his book to fail so he is promptly kicked out of DC. Also I am glad to hear that I'm not the only one who heard that Kryptonite pitch and thought it was stupid. Making more of it and giving it to street level criminals is the opposite of a fun and engaging idea to me. I just hope this doesn't affect the greater Superman stories as a whole.
One of the other comic channels I watch was talking about "the turnaround" since the election results and how things are starting to "change for the better" in entertainment. Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong, but to me, I still see the same circles of jerks in charge of/ creating the entertainment coming out. Mark Waid's words are still ringing in my ears, "I think a lot of us would just rather see the industry burn down than 'get together' with the alt-right. I know I would. Sorry."
@DeadpoolNegative Agreed, not anymore. I regard Meyer and Waid the same now after Meyer tried to lie about the guy asking him for a refund and saying he was trying to damage Meyer's "veteran owned business."
Rafael will do fine. I like gritty looking Supes even if the story doesn’t necessarily match. I personally discovered Doug Mahnke on Man of Steel back in the day which kind of influenced that opinion. If you can see where I’m coming from.
But Wes We already had this story before it was called Superman Batman in search of kryptonite. So dance slot is going to take the story that Shane Davis drew and is going to remix it this time around
Not thrilled about Dan Slott either. I don´t think he is the scoop DC thinks it is. Never liked his stuff even in Amazing Spider-Man and Silver Surfer.
Did you read the two Russell/Allred books? They were really good. If you didn't see his name in the credits, you wouldn't know it was Russell. Loving homages to Silver and Bronze Age Superman & Batman
Maybe this will lead to more people buying DC's Compact Comics. Hopefully they'll release more titles, then I can catch up on rereading classic Superman story arcs and the better recent one if any exist!🤔‼️
It's a lot easier to have a magical/spiritual conspiracy that Superman has to fight. He beats the lower levels of it but the major plot is still happening behind the scene. It could even be a group doing bad for a good cause such as keeping a cosmic horror from entering our reality. You'd have to give a reason why the major occult heroes of DC are not involved, but it's better than having a ton of radioactive rock being spread around the world.
Fantastic advertisement, to stop reading modern comics. I did, well over a decade ago. Because I love the medium, I occasionally look at the news, and hope to see something encouraging, not words like "shakeup" or "bold, new direction". Something along the lines of complete reboot, or cleaning house, but it keeps being the former. It was years ago, people said that comics needed more new talent. Fair enough, and independent books are boasting that, but DC and Marvel are all about who knows who. New talent can't make waves because writers clearly not worth a fraction of their pay never leave. Slott should've been gone, and DC should've never called him back. Clowns like Bendis and everyone that helped kill the biggest icons in all of comics shouldn't be allowed back in. It's not even a joke at this point. You truly fail upward, if you're in with that crowd. Imagine being the person that coordinates the staff. "Let's see... You drove off fans, in large numbers, made several characters unusable, left a legacy of low sales and failure... Welp, you're hired!" That applies to several people. Slott is just the latest. And it's a trend. Ruin things at Marvel, then jump to DC to ruin their books, too. Side story or not, he never should be allowed to write anything, especially Superman. He's been butchered enough.
Because money, plus Synergy with the James Gunn movie? And besides, you know that his titular book and Action Comics are still here and NOT going anywhere?!
Idk. It’s not the main title so it’s not like he can make huge changes to the character that will affect everything going forward. Seems more like he’ll have to work within the confines of what Williamson is doing, which I’ve loved. I’ve also not really read anything from Slott, read some of his ASM, but I wasn’t over one more day at the time so didn’t get far.
The only reason I am buying this is because I buy everything Superman I knew Slott was coming but somehow I was still pissed when it was announced the other day Superman books were looking so good for a while there now it’s like DC have just went GOTCH HA
While I enjoyed his Spider-Man, his Iron Man and FF were not good, so it makes me a bit afraid of what he'll do. Brian Bendis's stink still lingers on Super-family. I also seem to recall that there already was a story involving a giant kryptonite asteroid.
Rafael Albaquerqe is a great fit. Go back to Adventures of Superman, late 80’s/early 90’s. That was the street level book and the art looked fantastic.
Bring back the Golden Age Superman and Lois Kent from their miserable deaths in Infinite Crisis. Maybe he can make the JSA interesting again? I'd even take the Geoff John's era JSA Kingdom Come Superman coming back.
But Dan slott isn’t on main Superman book but a side book itself which is probably a good thing because frankly I don’t want him on the main book because Joshua Williamson main Superman books has been good and tons of fun and better then Dan slott book.
oh wonderful. here we go again. criminals once again can kill the hero Superman because they have the upper hand.....ugh. why?? that makes it where he can't do anything to stop anyone and has to stay away
I don't think that Slott is that bad of a writer. He tries different things, he works hard on trying to give us new takes on existing villains, and he creates new characters. It's kinda of fresh take Superman needs. Of course he needs an editor to be on top of him to make sure he working and we get the best out of him too. But I agree, more kryptonite just sounds lazy. Have less kryptonite and let's see who are the real DC power players who actually have some.
If Intergang was mining Kryptonite off world and using it as a way to become big power players again by bringing it slow. So they could eventually be stopped. And had some secret big bad as the leader I might get it. But all that kryptonite on earth is stupid and completely fucks a lot of future writers in my opinion
@@inviiinciiibleI dunno, gratuitous deaths of classic characters for a cheap pop, from the writer whose career at this point is literally “we have Ed Brubaker at home”?
Dan Slott is too lazy to last long at DC. Looking at that cover, I see DC is already changing Krypto's breed to look more like James Gunn's dog that he inserted into the upcoming movie (like his brother that he inserts into everything).
DC officially hates Superman.
DC doesn't care. Comics are a script farm for their Hollywood productions.
I mean the main superman title is really good atm and this isn't replacing that, so it isn't too bad
And Batman too.
Do they? I mean, there is a freaking movie of him coming out, plus his current ongoing (Superman and Action Comics) are doing very well as far as I can see. So no, you are wrong on that part!
Let's be honest DC hates everyone that isn't Harley Quinn these days.
This is good news actually. Giving him his own series means we can all ignore it.
And we all know. It won’t sell well enough to be an ongoing.

As if they hadn't suffered enough with Bendis :(
Didn’t Bendis do enough damage already ?
Evidently not.
They hired Bendis way past his prime and gave him the Superman books.
And those books were doing great at that time with Tomasi and Jurgens.
That was the worst move ever.

Of all the bad Marvel writers Slott is the worst one DC could have brought over, this will be a total disaster.

I just don't want too many Superman titles. I like Superman and Action and World's Finest...that's all I need.
MAYBE....just maybe Jim Lee will actually put some reigns on Slotto Blocktavius?
Bring back the Golden Age Superman and Lois Kent from their miserable deaths in Infinite Crisis. Maybe he can make the JSA interesting again? I'd even take the Geoff John's era JSA Kingdom Come Superman coming back.
No, bring back Silver/Bronze Age Superman back again.
😮 Unlimited? We'll see about it. No we won't, you read it.
But Dan slott isn’t on main Superman book but a side book itself which is probably a good thing because frankly I don’t want him on the main book because Joshua Williamson main Superman books has been good and tons of fun and better then Dan slott book.
Williamson run it's just "ok" for me.
@ Fair enough
What's new remember BMB?? A previous hot mess with Jin Kent.
Hard Pass! ...and I collected everything Superman....or at least used to.
oh wonderful. here we go again. criminals once again can kill the hero Superman because they have the upper hand.....ugh. why?? that makes it where he can't do anything to stop anyone and has to stay away
I think you said you want a physically challenged Superman. - if they do that, it's going on my pull list!!!
I don't think that Slott is that bad of a writer. He tries different things, he works hard on trying to give us new takes on existing villains, and he creates new characters. It's kinda of fresh take Superman needs. Of course he needs an editor to be on top of him to make sure he working and we get the best out of him too.
But I agree, more kryptonite just sounds lazy. Have less kryptonite and let's see who are the real DC power players who actually have some.
Let me guess, he will create a long lost sibling
The problem with give Superman a physical threat is that... This is what Kryptonite does. And that's gotten boring.
Raphael Albuquerque is one of my favorite artists since American Vampire. But this is a HARD no. 😵
If Intergang was mining Kryptonite off world and using it as a way to become big power players again by bringing it slow. So they could eventually be stopped. And had some secret big bad as the leader I might get it. But all that kryptonite on earth is stupid and completely fucks a lot of future writers in my opinion
I would caution checking a first issue out. I recently tried Ultimate Wolverine #1 and that’ll put me off comics for awhile I found it that bad.
what was bad about ultimate wolverine?
@ I found the story going back and forth between two time periods jarring and the artwork didn’t work very well.
@@inviiinciiibleI dunno, gratuitous deaths of classic characters for a cheap pop, from the writer whose career at this point is literally “we have Ed Brubaker at home”?
seems like you have surface level reading if you think it was for a cheap pop
So, I enjoyed Space Age. As for Dan Slott, I don't really want to give him any of my money, so t will be skipping Superman Unlimited.
Dan Slott is too lazy to last long at DC. Looking at that cover, I see DC is already changing Krypto's breed to look more like James Gunn's dog that he inserted into the upcoming movie (like his brother that he inserts into everything).
Truth Justice and the American Way 🇺🇸
Silk is a horrible character.
DC Superman Brand New Day coming up. Superman and Lois will be split and Superman will bang Maxima.
