Superman #14 Storytime

You mean it was released unlettered?

Praise the lord and pass the popcorn.

Hey, Chairman Mu shouldn’t be there, he’s dead.

Sadly not.

So is Lyrissa. But it's not like Bendis knows anything about that.

There are theories that Zarr may be Kal’s Long lost brother, like Lincoln March or Malcolm Thawne. Either way he’s probably going to be forgotten just like they were.

Supergirl has been the MVP of this Rogol Zar thing. She trapped him in the Phantom Zone. She has been investigating in space the destruction of Krypton and now this. Who knew Bendis taking over Superman would lead to a big surge for Supergirl?

So we're all in agreement that Bendis' Superman is the worst non-New 52 run in the character's entire history?

At least the art is nice.

And that's all for today. I'd tell you to support to official release, but you probably shouldn't.

like so bad it'll make Bendis' Superman look like a masterpiece by comparison

No, we're not. Because I'm not a baby who uses hyperbole at every available moment because I don't care for a particular run.

I hate Bendis. I say that without hyperbole.

This is retarded.

Name a worse non-New 52 run on the character.

Yeah, Bendis is probably the worst writer they could have chosen for LoSH.

>can't give characters distinctive voices
>can't write sci-fi
>can't even remember continuity he himself has made up
>can't manage large teams
>apparently can't even use canonically "diverse" characters instead of changing other characters

Fuck no, there were way worse. The post-Reign of the Supermen era of the late 90s was a fucking mess of gargantuan proportions.

Bendis has done more harm to American comics than any other single individual in history.

Fuck it I’m just happy the Legions back

Good thing no one else in the history of the universe has ever proposed something similar. And that you can just make people who have been at war for thousand of years get along by telling them to be nice to each other.

I just did here

Still better than this, dude. It's not even close.

Your irrational hateboner for Bendis has done things to your mind, consider getting checked by a professional.

> worst non-New 52
There was no arc in the New 52 that was horrible or even notably bad.
The Pak (before the depowering) & Morrison stuff was good.

>nigger lad
Why is this allowed

so, the legions are here, 100% sure that there will be some deus ex machina shit, that will make Jon young again

How about the one where he is an electricity hero.

Because Bendis and Sook don't care about "diversity" as much as they want to create controversy. They could have made Tyroc, XS, Kid Quantum and/or Invisible Kid 2 prominent members of the team, but instead they chose to make one of the main characters black because they knows that'll make people upset and that way they'll get more attention.

Or they're lying about having read any LoSH before and just doesn't know fucking anything about it.

Oh fuck off with the diverse pointer. You assholes would complain no matter what as long as any character or new, remade or old was in the forefront that had somemelanin in their skin.

Sci-fi isn't Bendis' forte
See Secret Invasion and Guardians of The Galaxy

There's a difference between randomly changing established characters, which he does a lot, and using already established characters who've actually been written to be black/gay/whatever.

Do you see any canonically black Legion members in that shot? Why did he exclude all of them in favour of racebending other characters?

>”Well actually-I mean yes user I am definitely dead and not taking a quick break in between my grand multiversal conspiracy to retcon the Green Lanterns out of existence, which does NOT already involve an antimatter cyborg Hal Jordan. No sir. Pay no attention to the Blackstar conspiracy which is not there, you are just seeing my space ghost”
>Controller Mu, 2019

WHAT IS YOUR SUPERMAN WISHLIST? (Besides Bendis leaving the book)

> Olivier Coipel does interiors for a notably big scale action oriented Superman arc.

> Martian Manhunter never appears in his this book again while Bendis is writing it or at least not in a story that has that ungodly awful human civilization hating characterization he had in his previous cameo. If it's just a action oriented team up that would be ok (especially if reis is drawing it)

> Superman Earth One gets a fourth volume with another notably revamped version of a classic Superman villain OR a completely new villain.

> IF Mos2 is definitively not happening I want canon graphic novel or mini series sequels to that universe with Reis, Bermejo or some other major artist of note drawing it.

you literally can't defend Bendis this time, it' so fucking obvious, just fucking niggerize Superman already for fucks sake. I know he wants it so bad.
I bet those who defends him and agrees with him are just non-readers, who literally patrols twitter or any web forum to spread SJW cancer

Don't you have a Wal Mart to attack?

I love how you can see that Garth's head is photoshopped

What am I looking at here?

A random collection of aliens who are probably supposed to represent their various races and leaders of various organisations.

Jon knows fuck all about space, who is he to decide all of this.

There's a Dominator in that first shot, a member who of a race who have massacred, kidnapped and imprisoned countless people for who knows how long. They're not going to give a shit about him.

And the United Nations aren't super great at preventing war and making people cooperate anyway.

Goodbye Jon.
Welcome back Jon.
Goodbye again Jon.

Crashing DC Comics, with no survivors.

He's gonna be a plague on DC comics for many many years. I dread how much damage he's gonna do to the continuity of DC, I really and seriously do. I honestly think that it's gonna take another COIE or Flashpoint type of retcon event to undo the damage when it's all said and done. He's already fucked things up immensely, but just wait for more of his bullshit to come out. He's made it clear already that he gives no fucks about continuity even with the character(s) of the books he's writing. He probably is the reason why Doomsday Clock got fucked. He's gonna be awful.

He should just be stuck to elseworld type of comics instead. Like I don't get it, this guy made it clear that he essentially wants the universe's continuity to bow to his will. He might as well just make another Ultimate type of universe of some shit so that we won't see him fucking shit up.

So Lightning Lad is now Black Lightning of the future? Yea yea diversity, but couldn't we have some originality? Why don't you do some real writing Bendis and redeem that ridiculous legionnaire Tyroc?

Is the Legion content just like those 3 pages? i was gonna rush to read this

Yupp. And we're probably just going to see the same thing from Supergirl's angle next week. (Or in two weeks? Fuck if I remember.)

He's already confirmed to be leaving to the future with the Legion.

>because electricity powers

uh..but Zod and any other Kryptonians shouldn't have super powers there, since they're not around a yellow sun...

Debatable. It can be argued that as long as they were around a yellow sun they'll have their powers for a limited amount of time. Before they were constantly recharging at an extreme rate. Now it's no recharging but they still have enough in the reserves to take a ship out there.

what kind of stupid writing is this?
these guys just so happened to appear here to tell everyone, "Hey this is the best decision ever, trust us, you should go ahead and do it, because we came back here and told you so!"

The fuck kind of shit is this???

I would prefer Superman Earth One getting a new writer and a new trilogy. I mean, I know they will get a new writer, but I want someone who will build on the better parts of JMS and forget the dross (like Female Lexbot and hooker girlfriend as anything other than a former next door neighbor.

It was supposed to be this week, not sure what happened

IS ATROCIOUS NOT A CRIMINAL WANTED BY THE GREEN LANTERNS, WHOSE LEADER IS FLOATING RIGHT THERE?! ALSO WHAT PEOPLE DOES ATROCIOUS LEAD? RED LANTERNS? THATS NO A CULTURE, THAT A BAND OF HORRIBLE MONSTERS.

Reading Bendis triggers my autism.

they can, come on dude.... even recently, supe fought rogol zar inside the phantom zone

Bendis.pls.
it's obviously you because no one could possibly have this particular panel conveniently lying around

>And then people from the future who have not been hinted at in anyway or have been established in a post Nu52 world show up and say "trust us guys! This is an great idea!"

This is why Alan Moore hates us.

>or have been established in a post Nu52 world
They've appeared several times actually, like in Morrison's Action or the more recent stuff about Saturn Girl in jail (Arkham?) for some reason. There was also the actual New52 legion, although they were retconned to be from Earth-2, IIRC.

Bendis just ignored it all.

I don't care if Lighting Lad is black I just wanna know what happened internally to cause such a mix up. They really fucked up!!

And everyone is correct to ask Bendis about Jacques, Tyroc, Danielle-Computo, Kid Quantum, or anyone I'm forgetting. Because except for Tyroc a little they all rule.

Morrison's was the Adult Legion so if Lighting Lad was white you could maybe argue they're the same but older. Saturn Girl you can also kinda just argue weird time travel. Now I'm imaging a Gary Frank panel of her getting her hair cut into the sidecut.

Levitz just hilariously throwing in "I think we're earth-2 actually" rules. I think the only characters with a big visual difference we've seen from Legion Lost is Timber Wolf??

Sorry, that second part was exclusively me saying them appearing in a significant matter. I didnt know there was a Legion book for Nu52 tho. They must have been in books I wasn't reading.

So exactly as people predicted. Jon going to the future so Bendis can slowly push his OCs into comics. I will be surprised if Lois is alive by the end of his run. Also kinda pisses me off that Jon was the creation of the LoH not Superman which is one of the things he has been closely tied too for decades. But Bendis has to come up with a stupid reason for Jon to go bye bye.

Have Superman comics like they were during Rebirth. I miss family man Supes teaching his son how to be a hero. I miss Lois not being an absentee in the series except when she pops up to show that she is cheating on Clark with either Superman or Lex.

I would also like another mini reboot for Superman after Bendis leaves to fix some of the mess he is creating. I would like a video game, cartoon, or movie of Superman in general. Have action comics deal with Earth stuff and Superman stick to space shenanigans minus Rogg Roxx or what ever his name is and Jor El.

Retcon all the shit with Jon, make him young again, more Supersons with Jimenez on art.

They have a power reserve, their power doesn't immediately disappear the moment the sun is gone. They were just using up what they had left.

The GLC and L.E.G.I.O.N are there two, so that's at least three groups that aren't cultures or planets.

but superman was part of the legion of superheroes in this continuity (since the very first action comics of the new-52 from morrison)...this is so fucked up

This sucks

>THE FINAL FATE OF THE MONSTER WHO KILLED KRYPTON
>we aren't shown what happened to him
I fucking swear if he comes back I'm gonna scream.

Is the Bendis stuff worth reading if you like Kara or does she barely feature in it?

Yeah but the GLC are considered Space Cops that planets let do shit because they're too strong to say no to.

Bendis doesn't read.

>Bendis will never be whipped through the streets

Absolutely pathetic and contemptible attitude. It won't be the Legion you knew. It's going to be BENDIS' legion with BENDIS' writing and BENDIS' trash plotting. Try and be happy after the first few issues when he ignores continuity in his own fucking book.

I fucking hate it. I don't begrudge black folk to live and I actually agree with increasing positive representation but the erasue of my self inserts makes me seethe.

Not to mention the whole place should be made of Kryptonite.

So a body of rule that basically does nothing as long as the culprit has strong economic power?

And another Ginger bites the dust.

Kino

I can't decide if Bendis's Superman run is worse than Tom King's Batman run

Oh cool Supes is forming the United Planets?

The yellow sun powers in recent years have worked like a battery. Their cells hold a charge so that they can still use their powers for a while before running out. Snyder recently had Superman trapped in a place with no suns in his JL run, and Supes didn’t immediately lose his powers there either.

Well he is alive in the upcoming Blackstars Morrison mini

Bendis's.
While King's Batman run is fixable.
Bendis doesn't put his toys away. He leave them there for other writers to fix them.
*see in case of X-men's original 5, Original's Sin, DICK RIDER: THE DOOR, Guardian of the galaxy Iceman, Scarlet witch*
Lois is fixable. But the real damage?
Its what he done to Jon and jor el. Ignore a pervious arc just to have Jor el with zero to no explanation and just there.
Ignore Jon's character.
AGED HIM UP.
And now he shipped him off to the future so he won't have to deal with him and let some other writer use him for Legion.
and for Jor el? We will never know what really happen when Manhattan took him away.
We will never see Jon VS Chris in some future super son issue because of BENDIS.

Good God no. You’re a fucking retard if you think so.

Lmao Rogal is a Kryptonian amerimutt? That’s kind of funny.
Oh wow we’re finally getting the United Planets? It’s always been canon that Superman founds them down the line but now they’re actually doing it.

Chuck Austen’s run. JMS’ run. What a newfag you are.

I am tired of Bendis desu, when I heard he was leaving Marvel I was happy. Then DC gave Supes to him and it's been garbage ever since.

All I want is Bendis gone desu, even Slott would be preferable.

Red Sun destroyed so no Red Sun. No Yellow Sun is not a problem unless you are using top tier feats. Kryptonians store solar energy in their cells that recharge as quickly or more so than they can use it under a yellow sun. Outside of a yellow sun it depends on the usage of power and the writer. Most have Superman able to fight highly powered beings without yellow sun for a few minutes before the power drop off with no recharge. I believe Heat vision uses the energy reserves incredibly fast though since it is pure solar.

I remember them explaining that even during night Superman is constantly being charged since the moon reflects sun light and the fact the Earth is still being radiated hence why we don't die when it is night. Basically the solar battery is problematic when he is not under a yellow sun since it becomes confusing on how quickly he drains.

I just can’t belive this is the same BM Bendis who writes Action Comics. It’s like night and day.

if anything this should cause more distrus, the whole legion is made of all human looking superheroes, all the other aliens would team up to kill them

Kara has some cool moments guest appearing in Supes' book but it's really Andreyko's solo what does her better

Yes good idea, a bunch of aliens gathering around to talk shit, do nothing, and only decide on stupid crap that really doesn't need to be done

>Arc conclusion
>actually just going to use it to shill my next book

Why bros? Why? I just want my beutiful son figure back. My boy really deserves better but Bendis refuses to let him off his clutches. Is it really hard to ask?

Holy fuck, Roogal Zaar and this fucking arc is still going on?

At this point I just have to wonder what the fuck would it take for all this shit to be reversed, I really hate it but it seems like Bendis is gonna fuck with some DC comics for quite a while.

I want weaponized autism flooding Bendis's twitter. I pray to god sales are shit and the next writer fixes this. Is this the dark age of Superman?

>Is this the dark age of Superman?
Both Superman and Batman are in the hands of shitty hack writers, it's a dark age for DC and their flagship heroes

>sales are shit
I don't have the chart right now but apparently both Bendis' Superman and Action Comics are selling less than their predecessors, Young Justice is also apparently not doing so hot.
King can't leave Batman soon enough.

Is Dan in complete denial at DC's current state? He appears to be really salty fans didn't take to New 52 like he had hoped

>jon founds U.P when superman had just pushed for the U.P

also isnt the U.P typically founded a least a couple of centuries after the age of the league?

>Age jon up so people can't use him with Damian and others like they had been
>Then send him to the future so no one can use him
Why didn't he just write a story set when Jon was older if he was just going to keep doing time travel shenanigans?

He aged him up for no fucking reason.

Attached: Bendis Sales vs tomasi.png (726x411, 18K)

Because Bendis is a cunt and partly working on Dan's behalf most likely.

For current standings...

Superman 13 by Bendis sold 34k
Action comics 13 by Bendis sold 31k

Superman 13 by Tomasi sold 59k
Action Comics 970 by jurgens did 46k

Bendis is selling, cumulatively, hundreds of thousands of issues less than the people he replaced in the same time frame, and the gap has only been getting worse.

Why did the legion have to die for this?

so that DC can piss on the ashes

I've already made my plans to buy the number 1 and wait for the storytimes on co for the rest

i wanna show dc i support the legion but not the bendis legion

All that is going to show DC is stronger support for Bendis legion. If they cared about how things sold after the first issue then Bendis would have been kicked off superman months ago.

isn't bendis in a contract for superman?

If he's in a contract that doesn't let them cancel out no matter how badly he tanks the series then Didio and the rest of DC are totally brain dead.

But Imagine this: If this trend continues, Bendis will be branded forever as the man who killed DC Comics. Imagine reminding him of that every time he shows up at a convention.

I’m not as down on Bendis as some but agree that Legion hits literally all his weak points. We need to get him to just showrun/edit/oversee a couple of Legion books like with Wonder Comics

He doesn't do shit on those books

>Bendis
what the fuck is this guy's problem?
guy's just powertripping now, there's no way he thinks he's doing a great job
what's wrong with having a strong Family relationship? is it too positive for him, so he killed it?

This industry refuses to remember any of the times Bendis fucks up.

He was good twenty years ago, and everyone in the upper echelons of marvel and now DC have done nothing but suck his dick over it ever since.

He legitimately believes he's amazing, and none of the editors he works with have been willing to tell him he isn't.

>what's wrong with having a strong Family relationship? is it too positive for him, so he killed it?

Didio is still angry that new 52 didn't work out. He's bitter enough that he'll gladly erase rebirth to try and give the crap ideas another shot. He's the sort of guy who things that people just don't get something, or don't understand it, but if they did then they would like it.

>Is it that I'm out of touch with what my customers want?
>No! It's the readers who are wrong!

He's selling less in just 13 issues than Tomasi was selling in his last issue, 45 issues in, by 20%

Tomasi 45 - 42.5k
Bendis 13 - 34k

This is REALLY bad performance.

the same reason people "Roll Coal", to trigger snowflakes

why did Lois became such a coward? she literally left Jon alone to Jor-El, cause she can't into space travel and shit
she previously freaking went to Apokolips and became a member of the Furies for fucks sake

I find it funny that this is probably the only DC comic this year to directly reference the day of its own release, and they couldn't even do that right

Eh I liked the female Lex & Two Face ideas in the Earth One books.

How is that a rehash of his GotG run? I do agree that I don't understand how Roger Tsar's actions caused a galactic war.
