I find it only fitting to grab this chance and share with you the things that keep me tied to the Superman Universe. While I always complain about overpowered heroes, my love for Superman is evident in my actions and reading choices. I recently picked up my own copy of the beautifully written Kingdom Come. Even if I enjoyed the show, the box was his proof Superman comics could be good.įast forward to the last decade, and I’m reading every graphic novel from the Injustice series. I had been watching The Adventures of Lois and Clark with that same Uncle, and he had constantly heard me complain about how ‘overpowered’ Superman was. They were about what happened after the death of Superman. In 1995, he dropped a box of over 60 comics at my feet. I mainly grabbed up X-Men, Batman, or Spider-Man issues. I would do extra chores and help out down the hall(of the apartment complex), cleaning, and I would offer to rake yards, whatever I could do to get me a Marvel or DC comic. Still, I relished any comic that was DC or Marvel because of how ‘cool’ they were in comparison. Veronica is probably the reason for all my bad relationship choices. Until then, I had only ever read Archie comics we weren’t a wealthy family, so I read the comics my mom enjoyed. Then I finally saw Michael Keaton’s Batman, and my world changed. A big Richard Pryor fan, my favorite as a youth even became one of the least liked Superman films: Superman 3. When I was a kid, I saw the Christopher Reeve movies a dozen times and loved them. I have a unique history with the Man of Steel. His strengths and weaknesses, his friends and enemies, and the legacy Superman has brought to DC. This Superman Universe Guide is all about not just the classic hero but the comic book world built around him.
