Did anyone else read this?

Clark's dream sequence where he killed every major villian (and some "friends"wink, he's ever encountered, kicked ass!


Here's a couple scans:

Thoughts?

Kinda heavy-handed with the 666 tie-in. I'd have waited until the next issue just to make it less cliche. The scans are cool, but the whole thing feels a bit forced to me.

yeah... it was a nice dream sequence, but they were just trying too hard imo...

I thought it was nice just to see Clark step away from the "boy scout" image for a bit, and go crazy, (even if it was only in a dream of his).

More ammo for the Superman fanboys. I can't wait to see those scans brought up in a Superman Vs Zatanna thread.

Wha? Isn't it a dream sequence? Are dreams canon now?

The whole time I was reading it I was thinking that it would be perfect material for superdickery.com

At best it shows us Clark's darkest thoughts.... Nothing more.

It's not the first time Superman has pwned Darkseid. shifty


But it was just a dream, so it holds no weight in a vs. match anyway.

You think that will stop people from using it as canon? Come on, you know better wink

Heh, seems like a funny comic. If there are any spare at the comic shop I'll buy it.

Swanky-Tuna
Yeah, that was pretty funny. It looked like they made fun of pre-crisis too with the hand thing.

Walter Simonson drawing Superman these days, or is he just standing in for an issue?
Deciding to make Superman go on a Black Adam-esque rampage in a dream, just because it's issue #666? cool Hey, good enough for me.

The art was fantastic in this issue. I really liked it even though it was tad overdone.

What I didn't understand was why he was so in doubt over killing one person. didn't he execute three phantom zone criminals?

once, as a last resort... and he's felt guilty about it ever since...

still, I don't understand the whole issue with him "doubting" if he had ever killed someone, the very last scene. I know he killed the phantom zoners because he couldn't find any other option, but it's not like he's confused as to whether or not he killed them.

Well... I liked how he displayed some of his lesser known obscure powers in that dream, anyway...

That was pretty funny. laughing out loud

I recall Lobo doing that against somebody as well, and they died.

Validus
Yeah, shit tends to die when you put a hole in its head.

It's been retconned.

The current Zod is now the 1st time he's met Zod...which poses a TON of continuity problems.

Apparently the Demon in his dream seemed to know about it...or maybe it's feeding on Clarks guilt towards Mon-El...since he basically gave him a death sentence by accident.

The issue was hilarious though.

That is one of the funniest continuity issues in comics period. I have everyone of Supermans encounters and each start with the same conversation.
Zod- "Son of Jor'el, I am Zod"
Superman-" Yes I read about you in the Phantom Projector logs".
It just makes me laugh, how many times can you meet someone for the first time? lol
