Sage's TheLinkUp 6: Pre-SDCC Edition

Look for TheLinkUp 7 next week, probably around...Wednesday, maybe? I know SDCC is over Sunday, but a LOT of panel information will pour in over the next few days *after* that. Right now the only thing people wanna hear about are the big movies, and the comic stuff--mostly from the Big Two. Which is cool, 'cause outside of superhero comics I really ain't reading comics anyway, I do manga. But there's still some relevant stuff that will hit up to two, or three days after SDCC.

But last night I read Superman: Birthright and Superman: Secret Origin, and the more I read of each one, the more I realize that I only think Man of Steel is "fine" when viewed in a vacuum.  When specifically compared to Mark Waid (or even Geoff Johns') comics, Man of Steel goes from "yeah, whatever" to embarrassing.  How could anyone have looked at that film and thought it could be a decent representation of Superman?    The best parts of it are the beginning where they show Kryptonian society, and the fight scenes (like I said, DBZ).   It's boring-ass muted colors and a Superman film that's trying so hard to get across a bunch of lazy metaphors about Chri

Astro City As usual, Kurt Busiek's Astro City is creatively solid--following a superhero who's made his home on an alien planet, and has to learn to accept when it's time to hand the job over to the next generation.  It's almost the opposite of what happened with Crackerjack and Quarrel.  That said: I've been a denizen of the interwebs for nearly two decades now, and this still might be a strong contender for grossest sexual advance ever.
