Real shame it's never been reprinted...Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09025289184864042978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916213262630361276.post-33333203776022545512010-07-21T10:27:09.807+01:002010-07-21T10:27:09.807+01:00Did the same guy write that Michael Landon series ...Did the same guy write that Michael Landon series "Highway to Heaven"??Hurkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04050072767583000630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916213262630361276.post-77169654939083648912010-07-19T20:38:46.922+01:002010-07-19T20:38:46.922+01:00Don't know if this is the same thing, but I re...Don't know if this is the same thing, but I remember reading something online about getting yourself in a Superman comic. I think you could be one of the folks he chance encounters on his road trip.

After reading the issue I tried desperately to delude myself into finding some enjoyment here. I've been very loyal to the great man in blue, but I can see the end of the road for me. Jared is right, it is a poison chalice and the only way for this to work is for DC and Superman to lighten up and start punching whales again!pulpsfromthebothynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916213262630361276.post-7736177742914417092010-07-19T18:40:31.662+01:002010-07-19T18:40:31.662+01:00Applause.

Having him do... nothing... is a pretty desperate way to get around the problem.<br /><br />That said, if it WEREN'T Superman, I'd be ok with this as a standalone Vertigo miniseries (Mr Invincible gets back in touch with the common people, sort of bollocks). But to do this sort of high-concept "LOOK! I IZ LITTERARIE!" silliness in the main title is just... arrogant.<br /><br />Also, I think JMS is poo. Rising Stars was adolescent wankery.Jaredhttp://www.pornokitsch.comnoreply@blogger.com
