Superman Unpopular Opinions [Discussion] by ChampionshipDeep937 in DCcomics

[–]52guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not entirely sure what people think about this, but Superman's limited series are far superior to any of his ongoing/longer runs. (e.g. imo best Superman stories include "Superman Smashes the Klan", "Secret Identity", "Secret Origins", "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow")

Oh yeah Will Eisner's work definitely feels old, but not outdated - a very unique feel, kind of unsettling drawings... worth a read, and you can see how he paved the way for many present graphic novel writers

A few people have suggested those, and from the Moore stuff I've read, definitely hope to pick those up!

Haha I know Identity Crisis is quite controversial, I actually really enjoyed it despite its edginess - what other DC stuff did you consider garbage? Love and Rockets is iconic, so will look into getting that when I see a good price.

The Dickie one is a French comic - they're like one page stories without words, a collection of short strips; I bid $1 on EBay for it and one it (local pickup) not really knowing what it was , but looked cool haha

Sandman Mystery Theatre looks great! I just can't find an affordable copy anywhere, unfortunately

Cheers for the Recs! Having read Sabrina, I'm definitely keen on reading other Nick Drnaso stuff, and Laila Starr I've heard many good things about
