This conversation was what sold me on Landis writing Clark.
Well, that and...
This is not bad at all so far.
Though some of the faces are hilarious.
>>77384271
Oh great. now he's stuck up there and naked. Thanks a lot, pappy.
>>77384287
nah, he's in a simple version of the costume i bet
>>77384271
In before his sweater looks like a cape.
>>77384240
I always thought it would be kind of fitting for all the residents of smallville to kind of just know who clark was.
small town, close community, banding together to help raise this alien special needs kid then keeping his secret for years to come.
brings on the warm fuzzys

>>77384406
Thanksfor the storytime OP. This makes me excited to see the rest of the story.
This was pretty good.
>>77384421
Did people really not get what Landis meant by Anti-All Star?
He meant it concept and scale wise, not tone.
>>77384406
Okay.
CLARK KENTS GRANDFATHER BY JONATHAN KENT WAS NAMED GORDON KENT.
CANON,
>>77384428
No prob. Next issue is about a Haunted Barn, methinks!
>>77384436
In my experience, most of the Landis hate on /co/ is via out of context quotes.
>>77384380
Clarks did a swear!
>>77384436The "angry responses" to "Anti-All-Star" was part of the shilling.
>>77384406
>dem titties on the left
thats the real kent superpower
>>77384148
what the fuck is happening here?
>>77384406
One last tidbit.
>>77384492
clark landing/nightmare
he most likely landed relatively normal but daddys startin to get a bit spooked obviously
>>77384406
So what I'm getting from this is Martha was pregnant but lost the baby because of a car accident and that messed her up until Clark came along?
Morrison did this better honestly.
>>77384552
Kurt Busiek did it better with Secret Identity.
>>77384552
>>77384191
Wait, is that ET?
Isn't this like the 60s?
>>77384579
>>77384582
1982.
>>77384543
given her size, and that they're smiling in the hospital picture, she lost it some time after that, but the accident is what brought them back together in smallville, she got knocked up, lost it, then clark showed up and she got over her depression
>>77384169
I need an edit with rusev and ziggler face
>>77384395
That page is just too good, love it. Seeing Clark as he grows up in Kansas is the best.
Kinda disappointed really. The artwork is just terrible. Everyone is drawn realistically but has huge anime eyes like those how to draw anime books.
The story itself isn't great. The dialogue is terrible and feels unnatural. The pacing is terrible and drags on.
The "cute" moments of young Clark feel artificial, like Max is just trying to manipulate the readers heartstrings and pretend to be emotional. The whole concept it self has been done by many (and better) writers and the issue doesn't really add anything new.
It's not bad, it's just sort of......eh.
>>77384659
True.
But it's not the 3edgy5u shitfest everyone said it would be. It's ok
>>77384669
not yet.
>>77384201
>Dad... I'm so unhappy

In my opinion is decent like lois and clark, has very writing problem but the cute moment suport the issue.
Better than the edgy shit with supes and joker , landis is better in confy stuff
>>77384430
>>77384428

I mean sure it was better than man of murder(what isn't) but my god. I had no clue you dcfags were so desperate for a less shitty dc book, but i didn't you were THAT desperate

Christ, did we really need another retelling of Superman's origin?
We get it, young Clark Kent has trouble adjusting to his powers, and his parents are the best parents in human history. We REALLY didn't need a number 1 to a mini series going over what everyone in the fucking world knows.
>>77384406

>>77385724
no one?
>>77384744
>>77384783
While i like Morrison's Action Comics and specially the back-ups, we haven't really approached Clark's childhood.
>>77386262
Check the win-o man
When does the slutty Superman issue come out? I need that in my life.
>>77386336

lol, i always just see the hydra logo and keep on scrolling.
But thanks my man.
The first issue was fine. A little bland, but nothing to get worked up about an certainly nothing Landis-esque about it.
okay this was pretty good, nothing stellar but enjoyable. Maybe the rest will be good.
>>77384380
And just like that it's added to my pull list.
>>77385060
I thought it was kinda shit

>... my baby can fly.
SOLD! To the pull list you go.
>>77384582
What the fuck made you think that?
>>77384323
I kinda like that idea too, it helps foster Clark's optimism and his belief that there's good in people.
Better than New 52 Superman.
>>77384582
No
If Clark is under 30 now he was born in the late 80s
>>77385060
Is this some kind of new attempt at a meme? This same shit gets repeatedly posted in every American Alien thread
>>77386032
Holy shit this
>>77384099
>>77384395
>>77384406
I'm not really into this new design for Pa Kent. I miss the perpetually 60+ old broadshouldered busker. He looks like Landis' self insert.
>>77388364
He will get there eventually.
>>77388444
No, he's going to look closer to this by the time Superman's an adult.
>>77384495
Why is he wearing a sleeveless air force jacket?
so, someone in this thread felt the need to post a link to this storytime on every marvel comic that got posted today and talk shit about them and how great this was
desu it was meh at best, but im willing to give it a trybefore you attack im also a supefan
>>77384131
>>77384141
This fucking faces, man. They look like black holes have grown in their faces.
>>77384742
This isn't /v/, you fucking imbecile. Stop acting like it is.
>>77389188
It's probably Landis or a shitposter that knows that he will be accused of being Landis. Either way I agree, the art really doesn't help.
>>77388902
Max Landis is consistently the least fashionable man on the planet.
I really wish Landis could get the characters' voices right. Like they all sort of sound like Max Landis. It's better than that Joker story he did, I guess, but that might just be because it isn't particularly dialogue heavy.
Otherwise I don't think it was bad. Nothing mind blowing, or anything, but it was cute and it worked.
>>77384184
>He got it up for the first time
So flying as a metaphor for an erection, confirmed?
>>77389611
>Supes can only fly if he's aroused
That would actually be sort of a fun superhero. I've always wanted to see a superhero universe that's dripping with sexuality and innuendo, but never to the point where its vulgar or explicit, and that could be a fun idea to play with there.
This isn't that bad honestly.
Mandis is a cool guy and understands the superman character.
I hope the superman he showed in previews is not a edge master MCgee
how can anyone stand by this fucking thing?
Art is pretty terrible in some panels il be honest.
That was much better than expected. I hope it doesn't get too edgy
>>77389756
>Mandis is a cool guy and understands the superman character.
as for the comic, the art is terrible. The story itself is nothing really special, had landis not manage to ruin his credibility I would thought this was good.
>>77389611
I thought it was heat vision.
>>77384208
this panel hit me right in the feels
It looks like half the town know that Clark has superpower, but nobody seems to be more surprised than that.
>>77390176
>>>/reddit/
>>77390209
:^)
IS THIS PART OF THE NEW 52 OR NOT?
also, I thought I would hate it, because Landis is nepotism: the person/jew, but it's really not that bad.
>>77384543
Also something about nearly losing the farm after Gordon Kent died.
The only thing I didn't like was how they'd occasionally have a downs syndrome face, like Pa before be got in the plane, or Clark looking in the mirror.
>>77390237
There is no more New 52.
>>77384251
Fun fact: that was originally going to be a helicopter.
>>77389229
>>77390380
Okay back up... I dropped DC after flashpoint, did Convergence undo the New52 or are you rusing me?
>>77390428
It's same continuity different name
>>77390447
What's the name then?
>>77390428
The New 52 as a branding was dropped after Convergence.
The main universe still applies, but now they don't care about continuity. Writers can tell any story they want and not have to worry about maintaining coherency.
>>77390514
Hmm. So does that mean that Anerican Alien is out of continuity or not?
>>77390453
Nothing, it's just the DCU now
You can call it DCYOU if you want I guess
>>77390549
It simultaneously is and is not. It is as canon as you want it to be.
Look up "Hypertime" when you get the chance. That's what Convergence did in the end.
>>77390549
It is an elseworld
Like better superman stories like all-star superman, secret idenity, and kingdom come
>>77390514
>Writers can tell any story they want and not have to worry about maintaining coherency
That's not true. Ennis was forced to use the New 52 versions of the superheroes in All Star Section Eight.
>>77388364
He's young, pham. Probably mid to late 30s. He would have been while raising Clark. He gets older as Clark approaches adulthood.
>>77390428
No, but Pre-Flashpoint Superman and Lois are living in the New 52 Earth now, and Parallax Hal circa Zero Hour is putting around somewhere in the Multiverse.
>>77384395
You know, I can't stand Max Landis...but I really liked this. It was really sweet, and I really liked Pa.
>>77384421
Legitimately curious, but where was the edge here? What didn't you like about it? I'm not inclined to like anything described as anti-All Star Superman, but this wasn't mean or edgy as I could perceive. It was definitely modernized, but still good natured, and with heart.
>>77390832
(You)
>>77390832
That post is sarcastic, son
>>77390839
Is "(You)" the new way of conveying agreement for folks with 4chan X?
>>77390898
Oh, ok. Well thats swell.
So who pic related here?
>>77391043
I didn't like the promo pictures. Thought we would get Edge. Instead we get a wholesome Pa Kent story.
>>77384240
>His eyes glow at night
Whoa. Is this cannon? I've seen tonnes of art of Superman's silhouette where his eyes are glowing but I just assumed it was about to/had just used his heat vision, or something.
>>77391107
Max keeps yelling on twitter saying next issue won't be happy and that someone gets shot so..
>>77391157
Thats what I'm really worried about. That this is gonna be a bait and switch, and that he gave us this to lure us in, and that the real Anti-ASS is going to be everything else.
>>77391157
It's Clark.
>>77384966
25th or dec 2nd
>>77391194
If so, at least we got one good issue out of it.
>>77391236
This. Clark finds out he's bullet-proof.
>>77391157
The third issue is also about Clark getting mistaken for Bruce on a party boat so I'm pretty sure it's not going to be 100% edge from here on out
He's described it as stories Clark might tell a friend at a bar or something, so I assume there's going to be tone variation
>>77384406
Martha got her veterinary degree from the captain of Deep Space 9.
>>77391326
And their insurance agent is Chief O'Brien
>>77387936
In SM/WW after everyone finds out Clarks secret most people acted like douches. No one in Smallville gave a shit.
>>77384632

>>77384191
>ayyyyyyyy
>>77389788
What do you mean?
>>77390209
Why are you even in a Superman thread senpai?
>>77391043
yeah I liked more than I thought I would have.
It's nice that DC let Max write this.
I like fresh creative talent in the DCU.
>>77384240
>Ben
OH SHIT
Well this wasn't total garbage but the artwork... Everyone looks like Brian Peppers! Also the writing felt really watered down. Way does everyone say "Y'all?" I get it's Southern thing but as someone who is Southern this just felt lazy. 5/10 can't judge yet but not impressed.

The art is shit, but the writing was decent.
Again, why are people shitting on this?
>>77392763
Because Max Landis is in this thread, probably
>>77384201
>dad.... I'm so unhappy
fuck this
>>77384461
He seems like one of those douches that really doesn't understand Superman so him doing a good job here is kind of surreal.
On the other hand, there are a ton of ridiculously cynical writers that absolutely love Superman.
>>77384113
TO THE CORNFIELDS
>>77393064
>He seems like one of those douches that really doesn't understand Superman so him doing a good job here is kind of surreal.
Landis is rather manic in all his interviews, he has a kinda desperate need for validation, but he's a solid writer.
That was horrible.
The artwork looks like something from deviantart. The pacing is slow as a snail. The dialogue is terrible, no one sounds like a human. The attempts at humanizing Clark are pathetic and feels like a 30-year-old trying to write hip kids. The whole thing has been done by better writers.
>>77393993
>The whole thing has been done by better writers.
It's Superman, that goes with the territory.
>>77385060
Supefags are really desperate to like anything nonmos-related that they don't care about quality. They aren't Spideyfans who have actual taste.
I've been following artists and writers for years and I've never heard the name Max Landis, who the fuck is he?
I thought this was pretty good.
>>77394081
Here's your response
>>77391611
Who?
is this really the best DC can do? Christ, no wonder Marvel is literally raping them in sales if the best they can put out is boring ugly shit like this. Even Valiant comics is putting out stuff better than this.
>>77393993
>Slow as a snail
>No one sounds like a human
>Like a 30-year-old trying to write hip kids
You sound like a cunt.
>>77395045
>>Like a 30-year-old trying to write hip kids
the last part is true though.
Pleasantly surprised by the issue. Not edgy at all and had a good Superman feel to it. Great father son moments, and a neat way to explain an idea into Clark on why he should always hold back in a world of cardboard. I like how he thought of everyone he hurt when he destroyed something.
I just hope the teenage years don't go full angst because this was a good superman comic.
>>77394250
Screenwriter who's kind of broken into comics. Wrote Chronicle. Son of John "I Directed Blues Brothers And Also Accidentally Killed Two Kids And Vic Morrow" Landis. His personality is a bit over-the-top but he's a pretty decent writer.
>>77394924
>Literally raping them in sales
>Literally
Nigga.
>>77395072
There was nothing "hip" about the dialogue. Where did it sound "hip"? Everyone's voice was pretty age appropriate and down-to-Earth. Clark sounded like a kid, albeit one who's rather smart for his age.
Based on this, Max Landis should have written Man of Steel
>>77394250
Son of John Landis
Made short films "The Death and Return of Superman" and "Wrestling Isn't Wrestling".
Wrote "Chronicle" "American Ultra" and "Victor Frankenstein" (out in 2 weeks)
Was contacted after RC to do weekly "Death and Return of Superman" with Greg Pak, which was later retooled to make "Doomed". Afterwards, DC asked if he wanted to do a mini.

Hi Max
The art is alright, webcomic tier, but the women are hot and the writing is solid
>>77395291

>>77395487
Yeah that's him. But what about the anonymous authors?
>>77395184
Hey Max!
>>77384208 I like this song Mr. Landis so at least thanks for that.
Your comic was mediocre at best though. Good direction, awkward dialogue but at least nothing was overly wordy. Art was hit or miss. I look forward to not paying for issue 2.
>>77395475
Eh, free comics are free
>>77395475
Am...I the Max Landis?Pretty sure I'm not, as I've storytime'd before.
>>77395562
Think the point is that they're only doing ones with tracable origins.
Personally, I'm more hyped for Antosca.
>>77384131
Do not worry family, I will catch you!

Christ that was boring as hell. I don't know what was worse, the shitty animu art or the shitty dialogue and slow pacing

I'd be with you if we hadn't had any number of other writers write better Jon and Clark moments all over the place. Even some of the Action Comics back ups during the Morrison run, which were just a few pages, cover this territory better. Pak, before PakAction was even a gleam in anyone's eyes, also did this better in his introduction piece, which he tied in well into a story months after the fact. Plus, of course, Busiek, Waid, and The Cereal King all did this better.
>>77384276
>the faces
are the issues saving grace. Jonathan is too dark haired, which makes sense given Clark's blue black throughout-history locks ('cepting there's no biological connection, Max!)

Just because you can name examples you consider better, doesn't disqualify this instance from being enjoyable.

Hey - if you could actually fly, you would too. One of the worse things DC ever did was give everyone and his side kick the ability to fly or jump - not that it should be limited to CK, but it shouldn't be something everyone can do.

The writing and dialogue is cliche and shit. I know your desperate for some good superman stories but for god's sake get some taste. You don't have to like it just because it has Superman in it.
Nobody likes OMD/OMIt just because it has Spider-Man in it.

Yeah, I am with you there. I can understand and see what other people are liking here. The images of Jonathan helping him to fly were great, but it's a sparse amount of stuff like that, in between a lot of meandering and, as you said, bad pacing, awful - unrealistic dialogue - the conversation between Clark and Jonathan about the broken mirror is not your standard that age child (no matter how precocious) and a parent, for example.
I appreciate the moments, like other here did, because they are so few of them in the Superman books in the last four or so years, but given something as brief as the Batman/Superman cross-over with another Earth Martha and Jonathan meet prime Earth CK is just more genuine and emotional as far as Superman feels go.

Just give up and shitpost in some general thread please.

When is Landis finally going to be allowed to write his Shocker mini-series?!

Pete Ross with a mullet - that's how all small town farm boys were in the 80s, dude!
>>77398399
Never
Because he doesn't wanna work the same company that hire thieves that steal his artwork like Spencer
Or people like Gunn who are worst than Hitler for calling Chronicle a cape movie

>It is an elseworld
OK ...
>Just nowhere near as well-written as better Superman stories like ...
There, all better now.
>>77398486
you just don't understand Max Landis's deep metaphor

>we have not read your fan fiction
lol

Pretty much everything Geoff Johns ever did Grant Morrison did better, but people on this board love Johns and defend him with everything they got. So i don't see why the need for such an argument.
>>77393993
Your whole comment has been done by better writers. They too were wrong. This is fine. Enjoyable, even.
>>77396393
Black, totally.
BUT WITH A MULLET, Anon.

I name examples so people know I'm not just shitposting. I didn't loath it. I didn't even hate the Joker story. But I've read better. Much better. A few nice panels here and there don't make for an enjoyable comic book, sorry.

Priceless. Thanks. I would not have bothered to click on the image otherwise!

If you have low standards then sure. If you liked this book then you should go check out Mark Millar's Trouble and watch some Bayformers and Godzilla.

I wrote that Johns, Busiek and Waid wrote better young CK stories. Morrison wrote THE most elegant Superman origin story. All of them, together with Loeb even, have written better Smallville stories, or CK and his parents stories.
My argument was that American Alien should not be praised for what is really not an achievement. If we were grading on a curve, a generous teacher might give him a B-, but most would give him the gentleman's "C" he richly deserves.

this whole issue feels like max trying to go for a speilberg-esque take on clark's childhood. but it's less whimsical and inspiring and more boring and drags on
>this artwork
jesus, please tell me the other artists are better than this. This is just awful. i'd expect this from a marvel book like squirrel girl or spider-gwen.
>inb4 style
it's not style, it's shityle
>>77398828
I'm saying that your argument is a shitty one. You're comparing him to better writers and complaining. I can easily do that to a bunch of writers that /co/ love.
Justice League? Morrison wrote a better Justice League. An event centered on Darkseiod? Morrison did better. I could keep on comparing Johns to Morrison and bash him for his writing, but that won't change that /co/ loves the guy.
People liked the issue and it doesnt matter if other writers did it better. It was still a nice issue.
>people with bad taste hating on Nick Dragotta
kill yourselves, all of you
I only read X-Men and Green Lantern, dont know who Landis is, and I really liked this.
After reading this I think it might be easier for DC to make a Kid Superman movie than an adult Superman movie.
