ALRIGHT, REWRITING FROM SCRATCH HERE. real superman is back in Prince and and Morazzo's Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum. it was actually a stroke of genius for DC to nab the writer/artist duo behind my favourite ongoing horror comic (Ice Cream Man) to do a superman story, cause their silver-age revivalism also revives the odd psychology underpinning the silver-age stories. we are reminded that superman's weakness being chunks of his home planet is actually quite evocative; "Home hurts you!" says luthor, robotic hands clenched around superman's throat. i also liked the super melodrama between lois and clark! it's an idea that gets a lot of lip service, but is hardly ever explored in-depth. i hope Prince and Morazzo keep coming back to it in the following issues. how crushing was it when batman reminded superman that his dinner-date was last night?

speaking of silver-age super-revivalism, i'm also enjoying Sophie Campbell's Supergirl! ... which i didn't know she was writing and drawing, which only makes me more impressed. that's real comics right there. i like the psychological elements in this run too; lesla-lar's relationship with supergirl is just fascinating to read about. AND WE HAVE THOUGHT BALLOONS AGAIN!!!!! i didn't realize how sorely i missed thought balloons until i actually saw them in a comic... what are we even doing man, where we can't have thought balloons in our oh-so-serious comic books. get real. i also love how midvale's alt/goth scene is interpreted thru the lens of secret identities and alter-egos. in my secret identity (AKA in real life) i just discovered my town has a local alt scene, so it's fun opening a comic and seeing someone going thru the same thing.

basically yeah you're right. the distinguished competition is totally trouncing the house of ideas this week
