superman

Ask just about anyone to name a superhero, and Superman will leap to most people's lips. The alien from another planet is recognized as one who defends those who cannot help themselves. Protection strikes a chord everybody feels.
It's easy to find this larger than life man. All one has to do is go to the nearest bookstore and look in the graphic novel section. Many a tale has been written about various adventures he's had.

Even modern culture has been affected. Some refer to the current President as Superman. Whether this title fits remains to be seen, but there is no question of just how much society emphasizes an advocate for the downtrodden. It reminds people they will not be forgotten. Nor will they be left alone.

Appealing to a wide audience, however, is a matter of skill. Storylines must reflect how things change on almost a daily basis. Market testing helps define where improvements must be made.

All in all, Superman will most likely be around for centuries to come.

• DEATH OF SUPERMAN HOUSE ADS

  
  FORTRESS OF BAILEYTUDE — Authority: 107
  There were several house ads that DC put together to advertise various aspects of the Death of Superman .  This first one is the earliest seen in the comics. Simple and effective.  I mentioned when Jeffrey and I talked about this ad on From Crisis to Crisis that I like the fact that they included the triangle ...

  Deconstructing Comics — Authority: 99
  If you’ve paid two seconds of attention to American comics recently, you probably know that DC “soft rebooted” its entire line, shipping fifty-two #1 issues last September. Since hyping the latest DC/Marvel news is not really our thing, we’ve been leaving that to other podcasts. But since Marvel zombie Tim, of ...

  FORTRESS OF BAILEYTUDE — Authority: 107
  In December of 1992 DC released the second issue of Who’s Who in the DC Universe Update ’93 #2.  Until a few years ago I didn’t even know that that there was a Who’s Who in the DC Universe Update ’93 series at all, which was a face palm worthy moment.  It goes to show how much I wasn’t paying ...

  The DC Comics solicits for April 2012 have been released over on the DC Comics website here . It is an interesting month as six titles have the final issue tag on them in what feels like a quick axe for the reboot. As I have said before, I wonder if DC was a bit quick to act here.

  tights-and-capes : This is cool, but where’s Wonder Woman!? One of my favorite comics ever. It featured origin stories of several superheroes. Sadly, Wonder Woman wasn’t in any of them. However, Black Canary was a feature player in the origin story of the Justice League of America.

  FORTRESS OF BAILEYTUDE — Authority: 107
  Today I am feeling kind of basic, which strikes me as a movie quote now that I think about it.  Didn’t John Cusak’s character say that in the movie High Fidelity ?  I think he did.  I love that movie.  If I was a complete hack I would write my own version set in a comic book store instead of a record store ...
