After years of standing idle, the young man from Krypton defies the wishes of his fathers to come out to the world as the first superhero of the Space Age.And Batman sees it and thinks this is the consequence of the elites thinking they're above everything and someone needs to be thinking about the people on the ground, and the space age is going to be what gets us all killed. Chekhov's Gun: Flash's stack of bombs he uses to practice defusing with help take out Brainiac's ship. The artwork truly pops, but it also heightens the emotions of the characters, as so much is conveyed in how the characters look at one another or situations. Taking You with Me: The Joker refuses to let the children he's holding hostage go unless Bruce wears a clown mask and lets the police snipers shoot him so he can make a clean getaway with a Bruce Wayne mask. Chekhov's Gunman: Brainiac shows our Superman a world that had already destroyed itself, leaving only its Superman, in an attempt to get him to join him.

It's really in that way that Lois kind of becomes the biggest influence on Superman, because he sees the courage it takes to tell the truth to power and to go out and report on wars and events without being bulletproof.

Beyond writing and editing, she was the Film School Director at River Way Ranch Camp and the Assistant Director on the play Famous. It’s been simultaneously intimidating and inspiring to meet the challenge of illustrating this phenomenal project! While this can be exciting for fans of said characters, Superman: Space Age could benefit from keeping the focus on Superman and his main connections instead of trying to deliver a broader look at the DC Universe. While Allred's 1:50 cover features Superman standing in front of his iconic history through the years.

You don't want somebody in power who doesn't have that ability to listen and to grow and to respect the wisdom of others.

Pyrrhic Victory: Lex cements his victory over Batman, Wayne Enterprises, and the world the day the world ends. The Man of Steel is an excellent figure to represent these feelings, as he is the sole survivor of a planet that went through something similar. We wanted to show Superman as an evolving concept about how none of us come out fully formed as who we are. The publisher revealed the three-issue series this week, as it brings the Eisner Award-nominated talents together to tell an epic story about the Man of Steel and how he's evolved against numerous threats over the years.
