It was obvious from the jump that the post-Crisis Lex was inspired by Trump, but in hindsight it seems Byrne & Co were too generous to Trump and unfair to Lex. But here we see the trappings: gaudy possessions, tacky clothes and hair, bragging about his wealth and importance.
Good catch from @HowardtheDuck95. The digital version is recolored. The original is far warmer. Interesting changes. If you’re interested in the topic of recoloring old comics, check out José Villarubia’s writing about it here: https://t.co/7zRcI7p4gy
Byrne wisely resists explaining how Batman, a human being, could elude Superman. The answer is because he’s the goddamn Batman. This page has stayed in my memory since the first time i read it.
This interpretation of Lois is clearly inspired by Margot Kidder’s in the Donner film, and would carry over into the best ever version of Lois; the animated series vision designed by Bruce Timm and performed by Dana Delany. This kind of Lois VERSUS Superman VERSUS Clark dynamic.
Amazing first page. Love everything here. So much detail, fashion, movement, urban environment. And a classic superhero flying through it.
Does anyone know if the credits were on this page in the original miniseries?
Discussion with friends prompted me to do a reread of the post-Crisis Superman.
Interesting that Byrne included these very sad details to the Kents’ pasts; miscarriages, stillbirth, a brother mangled by a farming machine.
AMETHYST #3: This is on sale this week and it's an unbelievably beautiful + thrilling adventure. And worth observing for Pride Month, this book features queer characters and LGBTQ representation behind the page. Additionally, AMETHYST’s creative team is all women, including WOC.
I've been a Darick Robertson reader since TRANSMETROPOLITAN and working with him has been a pleasure. Just nails every page, no notes, no corrections, boom it's done. You can see what I mean in these pages, colored by Diego Rodriguez.

On the City Enduring, a Dyson swarm of 20 billion inhabitants of alien and AI origin, Jo must confront a society on the brink of disaster after its first murder in over 500 years. The story explores themes of identity and revolution, and like the best sci-fi is about TODAY.
