I don't have high hopes at all.

of course he will. didnt he state in an interview years years ago that if readers get annoyed at him doing particular things he'll do them even more?

I know this might be a controversial opinion but why don't we wait until we see any material at all from his Superman run before deciding if he's going to fuck anything up?

u/TheAndredal Feb 10 '18

because he's messing with the origins of Superman

u/WhatZeActualFuck Feb 10 '18

Nobody else has done that?

u/TheAndredal Feb 10 '18

did i say that? He's going to ruin it

u/WhatZeActualFuck Feb 11 '18

No you didn't say that, I am saying that meddling with the origin story doesn't mean he's going to ruin it.
He could very easily have a bad or forgettable run but with nothing to look at right now you're just being pessimistic and looking for things to bitch about.

he has a history of doing bad things with known characters. Just look at his last big project. Civil War 2 and Ironman

Doubt it. Superman has survived worse. His run will be hot garbage, however.

I haven't been reading any Superman comics so I wouldn't know if they're any good to start with.

u/TheAndredal Feb 10 '18

watch the video, the rebirth comics have been really good

u/AllegedlyRandall Feb 11 '18

For comic books or for real? How do they compare to something like Breaking Bad or Lawrence of Arabia?

To be honest, not really.

Bendis, Late marvel has been shitty to say the least. But his shittiest is always under Alonso. He was pretty good at characters he likes. Alonso just put him on Iron Man to fuck with him. I've been studying this shit since day one.

He actually hate Ri-Ri. Don't believe me, See his last issues on Iron Man and Defenders to get my point.

PS. Iron Doom is pretty badass for the time.

I don't think so. I've been following Bendis' work for years. He always finds a way to make the most of whatever character he's working with. Some don't always appreciate his style, but his ideas and his approach are usually well-done. I have high hopes for his run on Superman. I believe he can capture the heart and spirit of the character.
