One last time...

We celebrated the new beginning yesterday, but there was one more panel that deserves a shout out from this week's books, and that's the last in-continuity appearance of the old Superman.





Yep, there goes the Post-Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint Superman, dissolving into the speed force.



Rest easy big guy, as you definitely earned it.



I'll be seeing you in the longboxes as always. In the meantime, however, let's see what this new upstart can do.

The Weekly Panel of Steel #9

I'm just having too much fun with Flashpoint to not make it the Weekly Panel of Steel two weeks in a row!


We got a taste of what Superman was going to be all about in last week's Flashpoint: Project Superman #1, but here we see the real deal in action.

Kept in isolation and away from the sun for thirty years, Kal-El has become a pale, withered version of the hero we all know and love. He's the subject of a jailbreak, as Barry tries to assemble the Justice League from his memories, and what better place to start than with the man of steel.

I love how we see the power inherent in Superman in this panel, not with any sort of showy fashion, but by the awe reflected in Batman, Flash, and Cyborg's faces as they witness Superman flying for the first time.

So far, this mini-series is delivering on all levels, and I'm enjoying the heck out of Superman's part in it.

Green Lantern Week - The Offer!

I guess we unofficially started this with yesterday's post of Superman vs. a Green Lantern dinosaur construct, but all this week it's Green Lantern themed posts!

Count down to the release of the Green Lantern movie on Friday by coming back every day this week for some Green Lantern goodness. And to kick things off, here's Hal Jordan in a rather benevolent mood.

"Thanks for the offer, GL, but I have my own movie franchise being rebooted for a Christmas 2012 release."
