Having finished with daily Star Trek reviews - relegating them to an only occasional status - I needed something to replace them. You know me, I'm not happy unless I have a long-running series in the mix. Sure, I could have started watching another show, but schedules being what they are lately, it's not really viable. At the same time, I wanted to get back to the blog's roots as a comic book blog. And so... Reign of the Supermen.
Every day for at least the next year, I'll be presenting a different Superman. Different eras, alternate costumes, Elseworlds, Red K transformations, Bizarros, pastiches, alternate futures, replacements, tv and film versions, you name it. Superman's been through a lot.
Why? Well, in part because I can. In part because I've always been fascinated with "alternate" versions of characters (a "Siskoid" is an alternate version of Sisko, that's where THAT comes from). And in part because Superman is not so super right now (and hardly a "man"). I just want to be reminded of where the character's been while he's walking across America, and away from us.
Hope you'll join me.
