@mfolwell3 жыл бұрын
Well, it looks like they managed to put the issues in the wrong order too. Don't they get bonus points for that? #5-6 take place after #8. #7 continues *directly* from the end of #4. This appears to have been done because Rags Morales needed a break before the arc was complete, so they had Andy Kubert come in for a separate two-issue "fill in" story. The trades (both original and the later Essential Edition) were mapped in a sensible reading order (i.e. #1-4, #7-8, #5-6), but the contents page suggests they've reverted to publication order for this omnibus.

I know you like them "thicker than a snickers" but I find the thinner omnis a bit easier to read when sitting back on my couch. Also I agree with your "interesting move comment" about the cover. It makes no sense to split up the front/back cover image with the spine. Hopefully DC can get some new blood into their collections department and up their quality.

A good chunk of the content is written by Fisch (and not Finch, lmao). Seems like an easy skip and I'll stick to the three standard sized HCs that at least don't have blunders like this. Thank God they didn't mess up the Morrison Batman omnibus like this. Morrison, Fisch, Morales and the other creators involved deserve better for such a radical and creative reimagining of Superman that harkens back to his Golden Age roots in a modern setting.

My understanding was that Morrison was trying to recapture the feeling (updated to the modern era) of the beginning of Superman's published history: the roots of his first appearances in the late 1930s. (Peter David did something similar when he started writing the Hulk.) Superman did things in those original stories like kidnap an arms dealer, draft him into war, and fight alongside him on the battlefield of war for a few weeks so the bad guy could experience/renounce the evils of his ways. Superman was very much a man of the people in those early 1938 stories - with left-leaning (socialist) values. I think the DC editors let Morrison run with it but didn't clue in George Perez or other writers on their Superman stories. This lead to an awkward disconnect as this new/old direction was not followed in the other titles Superman appeared in. I actually LOVE this run of Superman but it starts drifting direction-wise about ten issues in and Morrison might have checked out as his Superman was not "the" Superman for the rest of the DC Universe. DC was never going to allow this version to be the "real" Superman, so it probably should have been an Elseworlds title. A real wasted opportunity - but I understand why some folks don't like this run.
