Todd & Joe Have Issues 06/15/17: Superman #7
So, here’s a change of pace. This week’s book was suggested by a listener, Jeremy T Dennis and is a book that neither Todd or I have read, Superman (2016) #7
Nothing against this run, along side Spider-Man and Batman, Superman is one of the first books I read with any regularity over the last 25 years or so, but with Rebirth, it was one of the this books that just fell through the cracks. Written by Peter Tomasi with art by Jorge Jimenez and uhm…I don’t know what this issue is about. Let’s go to the official synopsis:
Superman considers the toll his battles with the Eradicator and Doomsday have taken on his family and the need for a normal life. But can the Man of Steel ever take a day off?
Now many of Superman’s best stories are him dealing with things he can’t just punch so Clark, Lois and Clark Jr heading off to the Metropolis equivalent of the Bloomsburg Fair is a situation ripe for high shenanigans. Who knows, this might be the book that gets one of us reading the Rebirth Superman books?
Any discussion, thoughts, feelings, criticisms of this week’s selection can be placed below in the comments section. As well as suggestions about future choices for one shot issues to add to our list.
Now dat’s da Superman I know! Love the small town faire action. I haven’t read any Superman stuff since the New 52, but I think I’ll have ta hunt down some Rebirth trades on Hoopla.
Also dug that they advertised Cave Carson and Mother Panic in this issue. Sounds like somebody at DC is listening to Longbox Heroes’ advice;)
