The Man of Steel

Here it is Mister Marvel himself, Brian Bendis, finally made the move over to the enemy, DC, after years of writing for Marvel, and this is his much anticipated first DC book, his big debut with the most iconic superhero of them all, no less, Superman in The Man of Steel Ohhhh boy Ohhhh crap Unfortunately we got Blandis I was severely unimpressed with this one Give Doomsday an axe and you ve got the big bad of this woefully dull story Rogol Zaar He hates Kryptonians Hey, Superman s Here it is Mi [...]

Wow, what did Superman do to upset Bendis Ok I will admit I am not a Superman fan, but I got hooked by the hype of Michael Bendis writing Superman Unfortunately this book just reinforced my opinion of Sups, but even I felt sorry for the Man of Steel Short of what the Joker did to him in Injustice this total dismemberment of every aspect of Superman s life is pretty much all he need for a villain turn.3 major event are happening devouring Metropolis and especially Superman His life professi Wow, [...]

Given that Brian Michael Bendis is like the weird lovechild of Stan Lee and a less misogynistic David Mamet, it seems sort of strange to be commenting on Bendis s first foray into tackling iconic characters at the Distinguished Competition as we mourn the passing of The Man.Bendis had such a long and storied career at Marvel precisely because, generally speaking, he was so good at getting to the core of the human side of the company s flagship and lesser known characters, even in the midst of Gi [...]

Bendis brings his characteristic dialogue and twists to Superman and DC for the first time I like the voice he gives Superman, strong and caring without treating him as a Boy Scout My favorite scene was his interaction with Batman and the fire chief The story though needed to be streamlined A miniseries should stand on its own There s the introduction of 2 new reporters One, Robinson Goode, as having ulterior motives The other, a replacement for Cat Grant as a gossip reporter Neither hav Bendis [...]

While not the most mind blowing, memorable start, Brian Michael Bendis debuts his DC career with freshness and optimism that is clearly reflected in The Man of Steel.The main villain in this mini series is just one of those destroy because it is the right thing brutes whose personality isn t that carefully fleshed out, but hey, Superman is the main man anyway.Tomasi really did well in his Rebirth Superman run and I really didn t see the the point of having a reboot simply because some new but Wh [...]
