Untrue, but believe what you like. Sorry you don't like the Superboy stuff.

Heads up: "Still Standing" in today's Amazing Spider-Man #1000, by Noah Hawley and Patrick Gleason, is one of the best comics stories I've read in years. I'm still a little choked up. Do not miss out.

This cheers me, because at a convention panel a few weeks ago, I said something about Rosebud and got crickets. Disturbed, I asked how many in the audience understood the reference to Citizen Kane and two-thirds of them sat mutely. I could feel myself turning to dust.

When Billy (or Mary or Freddy) says "Shazam!", it ought to really mean something and have big impact. It can't just be a name you throw around in conversation, like Fred or Tonya.

My answer to this is actually 700 words long, to which Marie Javins can attest, because it's partly an in-canon answer and partly a meta answer about how magic words like "abracadbra" and "open sesame" aren't special if they're used constantly without consequence.

Even if by some miracle this turns around, I don’t believe in the basic goodness of my fellow Americans anymore, and without this, I cannot write superheroes. There’s no point. When you see a decline in the quality of my work soon, you’ll be able to trace it back to this night.

I genuinely don’t know how to go on. I don’t believe in anything I write anymore, and I probably never will. May be time to sell everything I own and retire here in CA where I’ll stand the best chance of being safe.

Nothing in my story contradicts that. And in LSH continuity, Superboy/Superman doesn’t remember anything he learns from the future that will impact his present day.

M&Ms, you are confused about what constitutes a "Fun Size" of your products. 20 M&Ms is not Fun. 2000 M&Ms is Fun. 20 M&Ms is frankly a little depressing

A Note from Daily Planet Publisher Morgan Edge:

In the ongoing battle between Superman and Lex Luthor, the Daily Planet has decided not to support either figure. We trust our readers here in Metropolis and elsewhere to make up their own minds. While some may question our decision, calling it an abdication of responsibility, we don't see it that way. We are merely returning to our roots. I note that the Planet only started endorsing those involved in metahuman conflict in the Crimson Avenger/Ultra-Humanite battles of 1937, for understandable reasons at the time. I accept the resignations of Editor in Chief Perry White, reporter Lois Lane, gossip columnist Cat Grant, politics desk editor Ron Troupe, and staff photographer James Bartholomew Olsen. Steve Lombard, formerly of the sports division, has accepted the role of EIC and will lead the paper to new heights. I am also proud to announce our new media partnership with LexCorp.

When I took my 6 year-old son Zor-El Peyer to Man of Steel, and it opened with Lara screaming in agony while giving birth to Superbaby, I turned to Zor-El and whispered, "That is what you did to your mother." And in that moment, we both knew this was the most perfect Superman movie possible.

I wish I knew, but I can tell you the error isn't with DC. It's Amazon's lack of interest in selling single-issue comics. Same with Dark Knights of Steel this week--not there. Nor WF collection #4, which is WEEKS late. Amazon ruined Comixology.
