A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Jimmy in the background getting the front page photo is one of the best parts of this art.

Having grown up reading issues of "Superman's Pal: Jimmy Olson" there's layers of feelings - to see Jimmy step out of Clark's shadow, to do his job, in a moment that must be terrible for him.

From that angle that picture would've been terrible haha

Did they both know Clark was Superman at that point? I'm pretty late unclear on some of the comics lore

Lois knew. I'm not sure about Jimmy.

It's pretty cool of DC to have made a comic about that sweet Our Lady Peace song
