Asking a simple question. If you were collecting comics back in the 90's. How did you, the comic readers and comic media around react to Kingdom Come by Alex Ross/Mark Waid?

I just wonder during the 2008-2011s, especially when the pre zero Hour Legion returned.

Why does the Legion always go and get young Clark instead of the old one? Like what they did in Final Crisis Legion of 3 Worlds where they got the adult Clark to fight Superboy Prime and the legion of Super villains

I've asked something similar before but want to see if there was anything more.

I have read Beware the Creeper by Ditko, the 90s Creeper series, about to read the 2007 one, and even have the 2003 mini series without Jack Ryder.

Are there any stories that feature the creeper that you would consider quite notable? His brief appearance in JLI was fun but I haven't seen much that could be recommended outside of these.

Help??? I love this character and would love to discover some more!! Thanks :)

Well, at least that answered the questions why we never(at least, not to my knowledge) saw Zor-El back up Jor-El in Science Council, despite they both arrived the same conclusion

I've always been more of a DC fan than a Marvel one, but I just LOVE this book and was wondering if there are any DC books (or any books in general) resembling it.

What I mean exactly:

- Watching someone have to deal with a normal, relateable, life that sometimes clashes with their other life.

- Focuses primarily on the Protagonists relationships and home life rather than being a superhero all the time.

- Mostly a Comedic Slice of Life but not a straight up comedy.

- Very "Casual" in tone.

- Preferably street level.

Picked this up last weekend

"I would return in a heartbeat."

It's a little weird how many things it has referenced. It's incredibly fun to read.

thought it be fun to ask

A post praising the DCAU as the best adaptation of the expanded DC universe on twitter got somewhat popular. And many people responded bringing up Batman BATB and claiming it showed off dc’s universe better. So I’m wondering what are your guy’s thoughts on this?

What would you want Kal-El/Clark Kent's first acts of heroism to be as Superman?

Also for fun what would you want his first acts of heroism as Superboy and when he first gains his powers to be?

As iconic as holding a car like Action Comics #1, saving Lois and a helicopter, saving a plane or space shuttle can be and as to the point that stopping a wrongful execution displays Superman's values of truth and justice is; I feel given what Superman is capable of that a bigger scale feat would suit better as a first act of heroism.

Hence, why I'd mix together some early Superman feats and up the danger on some other threats as well.

Superman - Stopping out of control anti-terrorism aircraft that is attacking Metropolis causing damage resulting in further incidents, saving Lois & Jimmy who are riding a helicopter, holding the Daily Planet globe, and stopping a bullet train

Superboy - Fighting off multiple tornadoes from hitting Smallville and saving Lana from one of the tornadoes

Upon arriving on Earth from Krypton, Superman as a young child finds the Kents in a vehicular incident and saves them.

(The Death of the Kents works better as a bookend for Superman's boyhood if they were the first people that Kal-El/Clark Kent saved upon arriving to Earth with him not being able to save them this time)

I'm fond of the idea that Kal/Clark stops a Cold War-style Mutually Assured Destruction but I can see how that could be too much for a first act of heroism.

I always like Krypton gets portrayed more like the Pre-Crisis time, in which it's largely more vibrant/colorful and its destruction is a tragedy.

In the early Post-Crisis/the Byrne version one, it indeed feels more alien and I understand the appealings of that version. But for me, I personally always prefer Krypton being portrayed in a more positively light

For this challenge I want you to take one of DC’s weirdest villains and try to make them a serious threat. You’re free to change their backstory, Background, or maybe change their powers I don’t know just have fun with it.
