Koete Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Alright, so Superman-Prime's in Countdown. Now, I'm not so much angry that he's appearing before the end of Sinestro Corps War. More I'm pissed that he's still alive. He's the most one dimensional character I've seen in a long time. I mean, all he does is whine about his earth, cry about his long obliterated girlfriend, and kill a bunch of heroes for no reason. And now he's doing the same crap again in Countdown. When I first saw the Black Costume Superman, I though he was going to be along the lines of Justice Lords, not a jackass. If he's the guy killing all the New Gods, I'll be sorely disappointed.

Missy Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 What I want to know is why DC revealed this before Sinestro Corps War ended. Was this due to a scheduling conflict (RE: delayed comics) or poor planning? I'd also like to know why spoiler-filled preview pages were posted on Newsarama a week before Countdown #24 shipped.

Koete Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think those'll be another group of those great unanswered questions, joining such quandarys as "Why was Superman Returns made?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I do know that Green Lantern #25 (the final chapter in the SCW storyline) has been delayed, but I believe it was originally scheduled to be released after CD#24 anyway. So I'm going with poor planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 That still doesn't answer the question of the preview pages. Maybe DC thinks that the internet fanboys are so acclamated to an immediate payoff, they thought we'd want spoilers? Maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Three options spring to mind: 01. It was an oversight. 02. They believed the hype would be worth the backlash. 03. They thought readers wouldn't figure it out from the preview pages. Considering it's obviously Superboyman-Prime, number three goes out the window. So does the first option, because I simply can't believe DC would let something that big slip by accident. Thus leaving "hype outweighs Internet furor."

tglancy Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 You know how it happened? Come on, we all know how it happened. Reality was punched. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Kind of explains a little more of why he looks different in Countdown 25, but it doesn't give away the Sinistro Corps ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 We know that he's not dead or back in jail by the end of SCW, so it does give it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 When the last chapter of the Sinistro Corps Wars reveals that he's had his body taken over by Kevin Federline, you'll be eating those words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
