I find it perplexing when people look forward to reading less. To me, the more text, the better. I can't grasp the concept of desiring less text when the stories themselves are fantastic. Nowadays, it seems like the norm is to breeze through a comic in five minutes, with hardly any dialogue. Is this an attempt to underpay letterers? In my opinion, the more text we have, the richer the experience.

I got mine in last week. I would rather read Golden and Silver Age stories than the "heavy" books that you alluded to in the video. I have too many real life issues going on, so give me Titano any day. BTW, I much prefer the purple background on the cover that was in the solicitation. That baby poop yellow looks awful. Other than that, awesome book.

Such a fun era for Supes. Anything could (and mostly did) happen within those pages. So many firsts in Superman lore began here :) To this day I love that freaking giant key to the Fortress of Solitude. If you ever watch the Super Sons Adventures movie (or whatever it's called) they have fun with that.

All this retcons and new lore like the Fortress of Solitude, Super Girl, Super Boy, Brainiac, etc will eventually be called Earth 1 Superman and Golden Age Superman will become Earth 2 Superman. There is no clear cut between the two, so for a while they share the title (there is no way to know which superman is on the issue if there are no clear references to the new lore). Golden Age Superman just fade out in the late 50´s. I´m glad they started with Action Comics #241, perfect issue to start the Silver Age (there are early references like Superboy in 1949, but you can make the argument the original Superman was still the protagonist in almost every other issue). Hopefully they make a lot more of this all the way to What Ever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow.

You overlook a very important fact: That first Brainiac (Great character) was also the first time we were introduced to 'Krypton City' which quickly became 'The bottle city of Kandor', which led to a whole slew of great stories and made the just-introduced 'Fortress of Solitude' such a great place for young readers to visit.

Excellent and erudite review! I am glad DC is taking a page from Marvel and displaying the covers on the back cover. I wish they would go farther and include letters pages and at least some of the ads at the bottom of the page for Palisades Park and other DC titles. That would've upped the nostalgia factor! I'm with you and hoping DC picks up the pace on releasing them. Also, DC, please release Silver-Age World's Finest omnibus vol. 3!
