But as for the real candidates/fake candidates thing, I realize that if they used real candidates and people like Hal Jordan or Batman or whatever endorsed McCain, I'd have to stop reading comic books forever.Eviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054771346933091142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-41513527148997789552008-06-18T08:54:00.000-07:002008-06-18T08:54:00.000-07:00The Lex Luthor mini by Azzarello?

The Superman relationship is pretty much the same as ever, but the art and the scripting are both real strong.<BR/><BR/>It's a cheap one too.

Looks hokey to me.<BR/><BR/>Final Crises sounds a bit depressing, but I'm sure that it will all work out in the end. The Flash cover is SO pretty, and I am SO happy that another Trade for the old JLI is coming out! I'd buy it just for the Kevin Maguire artwork!<BR/><BR/>I like Dwayne McDuffie on JLA, but I DO wish that we could get another artist than Ed Benes. The last couple were by Ethan Van Sciver and I think, Pacheco, and they were enormously better.<BR/><BR/>I must admit that I'm drooling in anticipation of James Robinson writing another book. Great cover too.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-25008554818420690992008-06-17T05:47:00.000-07:002008-06-17T05:47:00.000-07:00Personally, I wouldn't call Lex Luthor: Man of Ste...Personally, I wouldn't call Lex Luthor: Man of Steel excellent.

Anyone remember this solicit?:<BR/>"Superman 659<BR/>Written by Kurt Busiek<BR/>Art by Rick Leonardi & Jesus Merino<BR/>Cover by Carlos Pacheco & Merino<BR/>Ever since the death of Superboy during the Infinite Crisis, fans have wondered what became of Krypto, and what those events meant for him. Now, writer Kurt Busiek is joined by sensational guest penciler Rick Leonardi (SUPERMAN RETURNS: LEX LUTHOR, BATGIRL, NIGHTWING) to tell a surprisingly touching tale of the Dog of Steel's most tragic days, laying the groundwork for Krypto's surprising future."<BR/> Will we ever get to see that story?
