Byrne’s take on Suicide Slum was perhaps less nuanced than Wolfman and Ordway’s........

I think that might be a caricature of Ice-T?

Some great covers from this trade. You see Ordway really pushing the concepts, and Byrne proves me wrong on cover copy again because that Superboy vs Superman cover is compelling as fuck.

This came out of nowhere. An Erik Larsen issue. I’ve never seen this. Curious fill-in choice; his style is wildly different than Byrne and Ordway, whose work I would very broadly describe as part of that Neal Adams school. Larsen is very not that. Reminds me of underground comix.

Kilowog mentions losing his home world in the CRISIS. I’ve never been clear on this. Did characters remember Crisis on Infinite Earths or not? I thought only the Psycho Pirate and Pariah did.

Another little info download: Superman can take a breath deep enough to oxygenate his blood for an hour in space. Neat. Imposes a limit on his cosmic activities, which is good for plots, and allows the artist to draw him doing cool super shit w/out a spacesuit or mask.

I do like this demonstration of Superman’s powers. “He’s flying the ship from the inside!” Also cool splash of the thanagarian fleet. Interesting color. Anyone have the original? Curious if it was colored quite this way.

Little scenes like these are all over Byrne’s Superman work. He’s very into explaining powers, the limits of powers, etc. I really like this reboot’s de-powering of Superman, which they definitely used in the cartoon too. But I’m not wild about these little info downloads.

Ordway is really good at people being sad but also Superman blowing someone’s clothes off.

Cool Byrne action.

This sequence of Clark running from the omega beams is fucking rad. The bystander dialogue is a lot of exposition. It’s funny to think the average person is so familiar with Daily Planet office politics. But holy shit this is cool.
