BONUS REVIEW by Gary Owens
With all of the rewrites, perhaps no DC character is being tossed backwards in time more than Superman. You're given a cover blurb, "In Saving the Sub, He's Doomed the world!", which could have been lifted from many 60's or 70's Superman comics. The character is single again, with a thing for Lois, but with demands that pull him every which way. But with the feeling that we've seen some of this before, he IS modernized; he's young, inattentive, learns by making mistakes, and is trying, slowly, to figure out how to get ahead of the eight ball rather than behind it (the Superman from the 60's and 70's could teach him a thing or two here). For the fans who enjoy the Lois and Clark flirting, the battles against strange foes, and the Peter Parker quandary of trying to be in two places at once (didn't Clark do that first?), this is YOUR comic. For those who want the "old" Superman, the married one, like I once did, all I can say is that not even Archie is married--or Peter Parker, for that matter. Maybe that's something Clark can learn, too.
