Basically Brainiac collected cities from various dead realities and one of them had the Pre-52/Flashpoint Superman/Lois and their son. At the end of the event they were able to escape into the current prime Earth.

Im glad i didnt read that...seems exhausting. So Superman is our old superman who fought with doomsday and died right? and then came back?

Yes he's our old Superman and you were right to skip Convergence.

I hope they really know what to do with him now. They dont know what to do with him...the last 20 years of Supes have been such a mess.

So, I was reading an issue of Amazing Spider-Man from '84 last night and Spidey was fighting a street gang and 2 of the guys in the gang were named Matt and Ed. They were the only 2 with names but I like to think the other 2 were Mike and Jeff.

Dark Knight The Last Crusade was pretty good...how many numbers is going to be this one??

Ok, Batman 1 was pretty good.

Spoiler: show

this gotham guys are new? were they a part of the new 52?

Alright guys I need some recommendations. All these marvel movies have given me an itch for more superhero tales. I subscribed to marvel unlimited and I have started reading planet hulk/world War hulk (for no other reason than it sounded cool).

I want to read civil war, but what should I read first (people in the comics seem to keep mentioning house of m, so I assume I should read that.) ? What are some unrelated events that I should also check out?

avengers disassembled
New avengers (first arc is like 6 issues)
house of M

then you will see how civil war starts and has been affected by those events

Agreed. Peeps knows his stuff.

Thanks peeps.

I always recommend Hickman's Fantastic Four run.

bendis is solid gold. he cant do much of anything wrong in my book

i might be a little biased since i came in second in one of this tumblr contests....

His Daredevil and Ultimate Spider-Man stuff is good to great but most of his other stuff leaves me cold. Especially his output the last few years.

I liked Bendis up until he got on Avengers. Didn't really like any of that, but the JRjr art was gorgeous. Powers got to be a chore to read around this time, too.

Just based on his X-Men, GOTG and Civil War 2 stuff he basically changes his characters personalities so they can endlessly argue. He can't come up with a good external threat so all the tension is internal team strife.

And that's pretty much Bendis in a nutshell. Mostly talking heads arguing amongst themselves.

So in the end I went back to the 90s to read the infinity gauntlet stuff and discovered that I really like Jim starlin. I'm currently reading up on Adam warlock and the silver surfer.

Starlin did an awesome Batman miniseries with Berni Wrightson called The Cult in the late 80s. You owe it to yourself to track this down.

I was wondering why the releases this week were so sparse then it occurred to me it was the 5th Wednesday this month.

Darth Vader 22
East Of West 27
Extraordinary X-Men 11
Spider-Man 05

I'm going to be pretty desperate for pooping material in a couple days.

ive only read his marvel stuff and have been thoroughly impressed. i loved the side banter between the characters (cage/spiderman, hawkeye/spiderman, pretty much anyone and spiderman)

i loved what he did with the xmen and particularly scott summers

Wow #5 of The Master Race really brings it.
