So Rob Williams (writer of the LIT Suicide Squad series) takes over Action Comics and within one issue he already has Superman slapping the fukk out of a wolf. :russ:

By the end of the issue he's also wrestling mind controlled elephants in India.:blessed:

Superman stories are mad underrated in general.

Would you guys say Miles ceiling is being the Nightwing to Peter Parker's Batman?

I'm talking about in a perfect situation from here on out where Miles character and storytelling potential is maximized.

i.e. Nightwing was never "Batman" popular but he has a very solid fanbase and is arguably the most popular/adored Batman mytho character after Batman himself.

Or could Miles break through that ceiling and be higher?
I think so. No matter what Peter will always be THE Spider-Man just like Bruce will always be THE Batman. Miles worked in the Ultimate Universe because it was another universe and Peter was dead. Now that he's in the mainstream universe with a alive and kicking Peter he'll never be seen as equal.

I don't think he'll ever be higher - after all, this is Spidey. But Nightwing level is about right. Also, Grayson is at the level he's at, because DC just love fukking him over.

Yeah but she was dressed up like a dude and was calling herself Ronin at the time.

But then they had her unmask and they had that Japan adventure that started Secret War. In Daredevil Luke saying it's great to finally work with her and see how tough she is.

That Inhumans: Once & Future Kings book is fire.
Priest has such a great handle on the royal intrigue dynamics and is writing a more interesting version of Medusa than pretty much anyone ever has.

Rob Williams really does get Amanda Waller right in a way that none of the people who have written her since the start of the New 52 have been able to. Love that she tends to be such a huge pain in Batman's ass.

Mister Miracle was crazy and I think just from the 1st issue that this is going to be just as good as what King did with Vision.

The movies need to take a page from the comics and just merge The Transformers with GI Joe.

If all of the Generations books are going to be as shytty as the Jean Grey one then why are they even bothering with this bullshyt?

The continuity editor must have been on lunch break when that issue was given the greenlight.
