    If you wander town during certain marches or protest you may find two individuals giving these out to the lost souls.

    I did enjoy Man of Steel (the 2013 film) and Batman v Superman - even if it were a little too crowded bringing wonder woman and that mad monster thing into it.

    I only found out about Justice league yesterday, I see HBO have the extended cut and have watched about 1 hour of it, it is actually really decent!!

    This Darkseid character, has he appeared in Superman comic books before ?

    If you pick up The Death Of Superman you'll find out ;)

    Edit: Nope, I'm being daft and confusing Darkseid with Doomsday.

    Darkseid has cropped up a bunch of times in the comics, and - according to Wikipedia - was originally introduced in a cameo in... Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen? I would not have guessed that.

    Jack Kirby came in and took over one of DC's worst performing titles (Jimmy Olsen) presumably so he could unleash all the mad ideas he wanted without them worrying about sales being affected and trying to stifle his creative control.

    All the 4th world stuff Kirby would become famous for at DC (like Darkseid) began in Jimmy Olsen. It was surreal stuff. I have picked up a good few of them over the years.

    Is vol 2 of MOS good ?


    edit - and should I read all of MOS first before "whatever happened to man of tomorrow", "death of superman" etc ?

    question on a superman graphic novel, I had when I was a kid... 30 years ago now.

    In it there were 2 superman'.... one in a red superman outfit, one in a blue superman outfit. no capes (I think). I remember it being so vivid and colourful. I wouldn't mind finding it again.

    Anyone any idea what it was? My attempts on google, just lead me to some wikipedia stuff. Not what I was looking for.

    I think this is it.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_Red/Superman_Blue

    Edit: This was the one I remembered. Maybe it’s the original one you were thinking of.

    yea, thanks for the comment. I was looking at that. You could be right, maybe it was the original. It was fascinating for me way back then as I was just a Batman X-men fan at that stage.

    I'm gonna bet it was a UK titan books large size reprint of Superman Red and Superman Blue.


    (DC Superheroes Presents No. 1, off the top of my head )

    I was sufficiently interested to see if I had a copy, and I do. Having looked at the story I would lay odds that's the comic you remember reading as a kid.
