This page makes me so happy, and I'm not entirely sure why.

Well, can't wait to see how this all wraps up then.
Thought the Poseidon trials dragged on a bit, but other than that....still having tons of enjoyment with this.

Is there a release date for #3?

The guys in the same damn panel that he wrecked their blades.

This went perfectly. Absolutely perfectly. Holy shit, is this actually a good comic book? It's been so long...

I don't know why people hate this book so much, it's an enjoyable read. I liked Clark's Quest for Clam.

>image post in a storytime
c'mon, man

... ewww.

Lanky Franky is pretty kooky but he's coming no where close to Neal Adam's triumphant return to insanity with The Coming of the Supermen

that looks complete garbage

It changes more and more later here

Frank Miller was probably a bad choice.

It looks fine.

>incest shit

what the fuck

Oh right, I forgot there was a place literally called Dinosaur Island in DC. Guess mermaids aren't shit.

This entire comic turned out so fucking well that I honestly don't know what to say. The whole time I was reading it I was waiting for it to start sucking. Even at the 2nd to last page I still seriously thought that somehow they were going to fuck it up in the ending. And it never happened.

This issue was fucking incredible.

The problem with JRjr is that his style doesn't work with digital coloring. If they still used old school flat colors his shit would look fine.

Attached: 1565738525244.jpg (1890x801, 1.51M)

Issue #1 was so mediocre (not bad, just mediocre) that I am utterly blown away by how well this one turned out. Wow!

It's a problem a lot of older artists have.

This series has been nothing but great so far. I think people just want to hate Miller.

>/co confirmed for speed reading illiterates

The dialogue in the first issue was BAD. Miller can't write kids for shit. Otherwise it was fine.

This issue was a low key masterpiece though. I did not see this shit coming AT ALL. Can't fucking wait for the next issue now after reading this one.

I'm glad I don't have to go through lige hating everything

True of literally every artist

To be fair, there's precedent of him writing shit.

There's a good story in here somewhere, but it's definitely not a superman story. It's like someone wanted to do a story about a boy with strange powers who joins the marines and falls in love with a mermaid princess, but the editor said no, they wanted to do a Superman origin instead.

Attached: img000036.png (250x284, 42K)

Best single issue of the year so far. Of ANY comic.

nigga have you literally never read Silver Age Superman EVER?

Lmao millerfags

Dunno why The idea of Sniperman sounds appealing to me

Greco Roman gods, man.

>Zeus and his sister Demeter banged and had a kid named Persephone.
>Zeus's brother, Hades, kidnaps Persephone and marries her.
>Zeus's daughter (who is also his niece) gets married to his brother Hades (who is now is son-in-law).
>Persephone is literally her own aunt and cousin, simultaneously.

What kind of farmer doesn't has at least a rifle?

I think this may be my second favorite page of the year, right after Kent family punch. I just love the idea of a perfectly normal marine who lives in a comic book world and accepts that there's weird shit out there and it's okay. And that makes him okay with whatever Clark is, because he can tell he's a good person. Kurtzberg is my favorite new character of the year, and we will never, ever see him again.

I'm sure Clark will pay him a visit when he becomes Superman full time by accidentally running into a SEAL op or something.

As another user already pointed it, this type of story was very common to Silver Age Superman.

And Miller is clearly writing a different version of Clark that remains true to the core of the character. Its a little kooky but there's literally nothing here that's out of character for Clark. As an alternate take on Superman's origin this story feels perfect.

Well this sure makes me like Superman, who wouldn't want to see a guy never struggling on anything and calling everyone around them fragile.

Shouldnt the blame went to the man in charge of the operation? After all he took rookies to a mission

Oh shut up, you sad little pissant. He can literally hear people's bodies failing around him. He's actively trying not to shame them by being better than them, and he only embarrasses them by accident because he gets too into it because he's still very much a kid.

I'm sure Kurtzberg got a smear on his record for that one. Probably would've been kicked out too if one of the rookies had died. He just seems like one of those old school guys who believes you can only tell the measure of someone when you see them actually perform.

Wait is this a thing? He can breath underwater?

He chills out in space user, he doesn't need to breathe.

How the fuck do you not know that Superman dated a mermaid in the past?

Whether its Posidon fucking with Clark or not I love the idea that he tries to show his respect but screws it up.

>that remains true to the core of the character
So superman's core is "I want to get some pussy, fuck everything else"

He quite literally says hes impressed by how much everyone tries in spite of how hard it is. Post-Crisisfags must stop pretending they know anything about Superman.

Superman stories were always just slice of life stories turned up to eleven. Change the name, take the powers out and this is just the story of a kid who didn't want to kill so he flunked out the marines and fell in love with a girl with an overbearing father.

>Superman stories were always just slice of life stories turned up to eleven
t.Tomasifag

I will never get tired of stuff like this. Clark and his ilk doing amazing things and chalking it up to luck.

This page is fun.

Post-Crisis Superman needed diving and space suits and the cartoon version went with that. I think he got it back after Infinite Crisis though.

>ay surface boy
>you want sum fuck?

>t.Tomasifag
I'm a Tomasifag, and I don't know where he's getting that from.

>I think he got it back after Infinite Crisis though
Earlier. At Loeb's run.

This is good

I wouldn't mind this being a permanent addition to the origin

It's actually supposed to show you how tough normal people can be.

what Superpower makes him a marksman?

Another proof that Yea Forums doesn't read comics

Eyesight, steady hands

I love that cover

The Kents rarely have livestock. There are no animals to protect from wolves.

why do people like Romita Jr again??

>Superman spent his youth doming ragheads as a spec ops recruit

ok...............

Do they really make recruits do pushups on their knuckles?

The barber literally addressed that.

Do they do these types of trainings in the US Navy?

He never fired a shot

Might be doing planks.

>Arab/Somali pirates
>In San Diego
What the hell is this crap

It's the DKR Earth, for all I care he could rape Vietnamese women duing the war.

So Superman fucked Lori next is Wonder Woman and Lois right?

>I'm sure Kurtzberg got a smear on his record for that one.

Nah, then why would anyone bother training rookies?

Batman Year One is the best comic book of all time, goober.

This particular kind of same-page internal repetition was really clever and interesting in the 1980s but, man, it has not aged well.

Actually it isn’t the DK Earth

It is. In the third issue he ends up with WW.

>Superman raising the horns

Why are Superman comics so comfy and fun?

So is Poseidon gonna go bald while plotting his revenge against Superman?

Every morning before the service Clark uses his heat vision to keep his hair in the regulatory type.

Or somehow the subconsciously prevents growth with your mind

Superman does not kill.

Batman should be grateful for that.

Superman could be Super Captain if his steel morale didn't stop him from taking a life

That was a fun issue. I enjoyed more than the first.

Why don't we have something like this in movies and instead we have a mute introvert who hardly fills the role of a hero?

No, look clasical

Don't forget, Oranos and Gaia are siblings, and their children and Zeus' parents Cronos and Rhea are as well

Stupid old golds, always afraid from the tomorrow and the change

>jarhead supes
Pass.

Fucking Olimpians and his fucking incestous obsesions!

Dork.

Who needs a human when you can make your life with a siren with which you can talk from the heart and hear voices and songs that the air and the human voice could never reproduce?

I DO like this but the military, especially before the SEAL program does full physicals including bloodwork & inoculations.

The hair is one thing but how did Clark get past that?

Is this bad or terrible?

I really can't tell.

That dialogue almost broke me.

Is poor grammar your superpower?
I pity you.

Love how she's wearing a 50's jacket.
And pearls.
And her tail looks like a frog's leg.
FISH DO NOT BEND THAT WAY!

Short sentences?

depending on when this is set, there probably wouldn't be wolves in Kansas

oh hey, someone acknowledging San Diego exists for something other than a disaster shot

It is, they said it recently, you slowpoke.

He's giving me serious saitama vibes.

it'd be slightly better if they'd gotten an artist who could draw children

Terrible but because Miller used to be a good masculine writer and we live in the age of onions we larp as if this is somehow based, you see.

I like this page

super vision and his super strength overcoming any kickback

Honestly, this series is turning out better than expected. I almost wish it wasn't ending next issue. I'd like to see an extended take that focuses on the further adventures of this young Supes.

I really like the idea of Superman finding Atlantis in his early years before going public as Superman. Have him save the city or help in some crucial way and he is able to use that to be a medium to the surface world before Arthur Curry comes along.

When used sparingly they can be great. They can add more impact to a scene, acting as a powerful one liner.

When every sentence seems to have been hacked to pieces with a chainsaw. It loses any impact and starts feeling like babbi's ABCs.

Does the uniform S change with some power or is a constant colorist fuckup?

it alternates between yellow and black all the time.

I took a look at other good Year One book, that he's still cashing good will from.

Even back then, he abused on short sentences like a redneck on his wife. But the writing in those was good, which masked the overal effect.

The writing here is mediocre at best. And Miller has evolved from wifebeater to 300 lbs black man on 100 lbs pasty white prison bitch.

Miller is finally giving Superman back his balls, after the cucking by Tomasi, Landis and Bendis. I'm tired of Superman being portrayed as a numale.

This.

It was refreshing as fuck to see him actually fight off the bullies and make something of his high school life instead of just being an incel lurker.

Also, major props to him and Lana banging right before going off to the Navy. That's alpha chad material right there.

So wait, what happened to Lana? I get that Clark likes the mermaid princess, but it's a low blow to have sex with your high school sweetheart, promise to come back home, only to start fucking another girl.

Miller going for that harsh realism.

The mermaid princess is a siren. That whole scene with the sgt. was a subtle warning to him not to get too involved with them.

I'm guessing something goes wrong next issue and it pushes Clark to go back to land.

99% chance that issue 3 is him returning to Smallville, Jonathan Kent having the heart attack, and Lana deciding it wasn't meant to be.

Feeling sorry for someone else is disrespecting you, you're worse than Hitler

How many issues is this gonna be? I haven’t bought a comic in a while and this seems like something decent. Probably gonna get the trade.

Three 64-pagers.

Shut up faggot

Damn, so Year One isn’t really covering his time as Superman? I suppose it would be expected when the first issue had them as kids and teens instead of Clark strolling into Metropolis similar to Batman Year One.

Weird that the sergeant was so cool with Clark fucking off to the ocean after his discharge though. Wouldn't he be all like "they're gonna enslave you bro".

Is it just me or is this larger/wider than normal comics? At what size is this being printed?

Poseidon you sick fuck.

Attached: IMG-20190821-WA0035.jpg (718x906, 81K)

Yeah, he really shows courage in this one.

Yeah, I'd guess Miller figures that kind of story's already been told more than enough times considering the Donner film, Byrne's Man of Steel, Waid's Birthright, Johns's Secret Origin. He's doing something different here.

Source then because last time I Red he said it wasn’t in the same universe

>Landis
When though

You don't remember American Alien? Can't really blame you though, the only memorable thing that happened was Clark fucking Cheetah.

I'm fine with this but WTF did Clack think he'd be doing, I.T.?!

I personally have no fucking idea.

Boot ass Clark going to Gaslamp just like all the other boots. This is making me nostalgic.

Even in the cartoon, Ma and Pa had shotguns that they used on fucking Brainiac.

>FISH DO NOT BEND THAT WAY!
It's a good thing she's a mermaid, then.

So this entire comic is Superman saves some people and bang a chick, isn't it?

Ah, there's the Miller I know

Who is the narrator in this? Clark? I get really confused.

This is perfect and shows why someone would want to be a superhero and not a solider.

>lemme smash

>The mermaid princess is a siren.
Didn't she say, or think, that she wanted him to bring the tribes of water-breathers together and rule them? Did she just use him to push Poseidon off the throne?

>cup of coffee at 3AM and alone with your thoughts staring out at the ocean at night, watching mermaids playing in the surf

I think that is literally the most comfy thing I have ever pictured.

And suddenly yellow symbol?

Nigga that's a Morrison line
>American writers often say they find it difficult to write Superman. They say he’s too powerful; you can’t give him problems. But Superman is a metaphor. For me, Superman has the same problems we do, but on a Paul Bunyan scale. If Superman walks the dog, he walks it around the asteroid belt because it can fly in space. When Superman’s relatives visit, they come from the 31st century and bring some hellish monster conqueror from the future. But it’s still a story about your relatives visiting.

I always think of Dustin Nguyen when I think of how awful digital coloring is. You have his beautiful watercolor work, but then when his stuff is digitally colored, it looks like some random fan comic shit

all the black label books are "Prestige format". I haven't actually bought any but I think they're roughly the size of a "deluxe" trade compared to just the regular floppy size
Might be misremembering but think the paper is a heavier stock too for these prestige printings

I see now, interesting choice

It is larger than normal comics. For some reason DC is publishing this with an extra wide format.

I'm disgusted by all the casuals on Yea Forums.

GUYS! I FIGURED THE POINT OF THIS STORY OUT! IT'S NOT ACTUALLY "SUPERMAN YEAR ONE"! IT'S "The Many Loves of Clark Kent".

>Poor Lana cant' even last an issue before she's QUEAN'ED by a fish.

The word repetition schitck got really, really old this issue.

>turd

What are you, a Marvelfag? These 2 issues have been great. If only it had a better artist.

You should probably go read that shit of History of Marvel.

>They´re laughing at his tiny white cock!

What did Miller mean with this?

What? he has mind control vision now?

>So superman's core is "I want to get some pussy, fuck everything else"

Dude, that's like the core of every man in existence, even if he's super.

I'd assume that it's more the realization of what the job entails finally, properly settling in. Everyone's a stone-cold killer until it's time to actually do the deed, or whatever.

More like Superman wins the day by doing basically nothing.

Thanks

No Bendis on this book? I might read it then.

>Bitches Love Superman by Frank Miller
Sure why not

That's the single most common "Miller-ism". He's used that his entire career. You go into his comics expecting it like you expect rape in an Alan Moore comic. It's GOING to be there.

Dolphin?

Is Dolphin really a mermaid or just Atlantean?

Between this and Jimmy Olsen this was a good week for Superman.

So who is Clark pissing on this issue?

shit taste

I've always wondered why we don't see that much flat coloring anymore in modern comics. Since as the pic shows some artist work looks better with flat coloring than the airbrushing thing most colorist do.

the page implies he's shot a rifle on the farm

Did he piss on someone last issue?

They make it very clear that he had fired a rifle on the farm.

Why does the shield change from black to yellow? Can't be lighting since his belt is always yellow

He doesn't actually need to breathe these days. That said, sometimes it's played as a psychological thing, where's he's been living among us and breathing for so long that he's scared of going underwater and being unable to breathe. If you see him wearing some kind of breather, it's usually also a JL communication device or similar.

Miller's version is even worse, especially for an incentive variant

Miller's art skills have deteriorated severely with age.

>Jacob Kurtzberg
I will admit that this was a nice touch and I like the entire characterization of the character throughout this issue as well, it wasn't just a rando given a name and then not much else was done with him

Where does it change to yellow? Maybe it was a coloring error.

>all the black label books
I don't believe the ones they are reprinting (like New Frontier and All Star were done over-sized) but I'm just basing that on how the digitals look since I haven't seen anything other than the Batwank penis book in real life

based, I used to work right down there

Yeah, honestly Kratos wasn't really in the wrong for slaughtering all of the gods.

If you compare this to the first two issues of something like it (The Coming of the Superman comes to mind), or even the first two issues of American Alien), this is not well written or that interesting.

American Alien was GARBAGE.

it's vastly better than American Alien, and while Coming of the Superman is entertaining in its insanity, it's still nigh incomprehensible, which is not good writing.

Da fuck is a antique bolt action army .44 rifle?

bleedingcool.com/2019/05/26/frank-millers-superman-year-one-will-be-in-continuity-with-dark-knight-returns/

I never really liked his art to begin with, but I guess I'm in the minority.

there's antique army .44 rifles from the 1800s but none of them are bolt-action

his work in Ronin, Sin City, Daredevil, and TDKR is master-class, but eventually the alcoholism caught up with him.

You can start to see the line work get shaky on the later Sin City stories and 300. By DKSA was when his nerves had just gone completely shot. Everything before that was fine. Everything after that it's obvious that he can't even hold a pencil straight anymore.

Cool.

Right

So do they do those type of "taste the sea" traning?

Welp. Time to see who almost gets raped in this issue.

Clark forcibly enters a kraken and makes it gag.

Theeeeere we go. There's the Miller I know.

That was actually a pretty good issue. Its still really weird to see Miller's grit-noir style of dialogue in a more lighthearted book. But, I dunno, it kind of works for me.

Well that’s disappointing

Miller didn't come up with that shit, dude. That's all accurate to greek mythology.

Lori like Lori Lemaris? I love how she's a part of so much Superman canon

>evil lori lemaris
fucking based spin

bruh what about lana

Where did I say he came up with it? Please, point that out. I'll wait.

nigga that shit has NOTHING to do with Miller or how he normally writes comics

Pfffffahahaahhahahaha

Yeah, sure, dude. You go tell yourself that

... holy fucking shit.

Not gonna lie, nigga. I'm happily married with kids, but if a hot mermaid started throwing it my way, I don't even know what I'd do. That's some next level shit.

American Alien was worse when it came to actual relationships. Clark with whoever Max paired him with Vs Clark with Lana and Lori is clearly a landslide in-favor of Miller’s Superman.

>Superman got discharged by the Navy by saving a Muslim terrorist’s life instead of ending it
Doesn’t seem bad to me.

Normal text is a narrator

Italics is someone thinking

Yeah it was. I'll go down some recent Action comics I've read.

250: Young hotshot reporter tries to expose Superman by interviewing Clark Kent on his program.

251: Superman has to deal with being old for a day.

252: Superman meets his long lost cousin. Also Metallo kills himself because he thought the kryptonite in the public museum was real.

253: Superman has to deal with Jimmy being super powered and evil after a Kandorian switches brains with him.

254-255: Superman deals with his retarded and lonely clone Bizarro.

256: Superman goes out of town, the Superman from 10,000 AD volunteers to watch over Metropolis while Superman is in the future.

Dude I remember a Superman story where Superboy timetraveled to the past to cheat on a history test and the motherfucker got a ‘B-‘

Damn right this is a Silver Age Story.

Honestly a bit of the coloring can really make this look good.

Not sure how I feel about a low-tier-psychic Superman

Frank's just being true to the Silver Age where super-hypnotism was one of Superman's abilities.

What are you talking about, Landis Superman was a fucking chad.

>brutalizes some criminals in smallville as a teenager
>is mistaken for bruce wayne on a yacht and he just fucking rolls with it, has a great time and is loved by everyone
>fucks cheetah
>easily wrecks deathstroke while wasted on poison
>gets high profile interviews thanks to his charisma
>treats batman like a little bitch, beats the shit out of him and steals his cape
>adopts the name Superman just to piss off Luthor
>tells Lobo to get the fuck off Earth, kicks his ass till he leaves

>brutalizes some criminals in smallville as a teenager
Accident, dummy

It literally said “psychic push” tho

That's what his hypnotism was.

He could even use it on himself to cancel out the pain of kryptonite exposure (but not its effects).

Well, the King INTENDS to forcibly have his own daughter be his "IN EVERY WAY" so, why yes, this book does have RAPE in it.

I think it’s Lois and then Wonder Woman.

Really? I guess Natural Hypnosis is a psychic power but I always thought hypnosis as we know it only requires trickery and optical illusions and shit

American Alien was, by and large, a huge disappoint that didn't really thread new ground. It had some great art and some nice characterizations and nice beats, but in general, the first two issues were better than these first two issues.

This has it's incomprehensible moments, and more so, it's WTF moments, especially this issue.

Ultimately, the way the relationship with Lois comes about in AA was far superior than this medieval fight for my daughter bullshit

That's not all a Superman can be or should be but there is totally nothing wrong with a Superman story being slice of life

shit taste and nostalgia goggles

this is pretty clear a different Atlantis than the one Arthur runs - for one thing, they reference uniting the seven seas.

the shitty art probably didn't help the colorist at all

>writing here is mediocre at best
norm for Miller

>That's alpha chad material right there
So, you have concerns about still being a virgin, son?

>notes how fragile people are inw hats eems to be a mix of respect, sorrow, and protective instinct
>calls a basic-bitch pistol a beauty
>he isn't consciously missing on purpose to match the low-end scores of other recruits so as not to draw attention to putting Deadshit to shame
>he doesn't even notice how he is excelling despite his papa drilling this into him from childhood
Not a dealbreaker, I guess, but it feels like the writer is struggling to hold to the Clark Kent/Kal-El personality and reactions to events.

Is that American Alien? I might have to give it a proper read though.

>This has it's incomprehensible moments, and more so, it's WTF moments, especially this issue.
not even remotely close to Adams-tier, and to act otherwise just tells me you have a third-grade reading level

Not him but the only way you can enjoy the butchered sentences is with third grade reading level

>Ultimately, the way the relationship with Lois comes about in AA was far superior than this medieval fight for my daughter bullshit
The relationship with Lana blows it out of the water, and the relationship with Lori is much more fun and entertaining than some shitty romance with Wonder Woman’s nemesis.

Somehow, Frank Miller is actually more faithful to Superman’s love life and Mythos than Max “Nobody gives a fuck about Superman except me” Landis.

Yeah. Superman is larger than life so his metaphorical slice of life stories should be huge too.

Although Superman being involved in L wholesome streetlevel shit is good too.

alot of things dont line up
DKR obviously took place in the mid 80's and by that point Superman was a veteran superhero
this origin looks like it takes around the ''war on terror'' era

I've waited a long time for this. Not disappointed.

Yeah, Tomasi had the right idea you fucking slime. And Morrison said it first.

Tomasi Supes was in no way a "numale" you neckbearded twat.

He was a father and husband teaching his son what being a Superman means.

Isn't Batman Year One also canon to the DKRverse as well as post crisis mainline?

But yeah I was asking myself similar questions about this book, the present day of the story seems a little too modern to gel with DKRverse Superman

People that complain about Superman being numale don't read comics.

Morrison is a retard

He literally had an "open relationship" with Lois. HE WAS A LITERAL KUK. THAT IS LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF BEING "ALPHA".

No one said the prose was anything impressive. But the story IS. And that's enough in this case.

Oh so you just have no taste then. Opinion firmly discarded.
