COMIC REVIEWS!!!
Superman Unchained #1
Superstars Scott Snyder and Jim Lee turn their attention to
the Man of Steel this week, just in time for the release of
his new movie. For fans of Clark Kent who have been waiting
patiently for a title worthy of the Last Son of Krypton, the
wait is over. Centered on an intriguing mystery involving
falling satellites, the first issue of Superman Unchained
delivers on all fronts, and is the first time I've been
excited to read Superman in a very long time.
The plot for this first issue mainly lays the groundwork for
the story to come. Satellites are mysteriously falling to
Earth, and Superman is on a mission to find out why. Opening
with the Man of Steel fiercely battling a sentient satellite,
there's no shortage of action in this issue. Seeing Clark
juggle battling the craft, rescuing the astronauts inside, and
making sure they don't burn up entering Earth's atmosphere was
extremely fun, and actually makes you question if Superman
will be able to pull off the rescue. After touching base with
Lois, who informs him about another satellite that was knocked
into the ocean, Superman goes to investigate, leading us to
our big cliffhanger for next issue.
That may sound like there's not a whole lot of plot for this
issue (and in fairness, I kept it spoiler free). While some
may argue that this may be the case, the real strength here
lies in Scott Snyder's strong character work with Superman and
his cast. Just like in Batman, Snyder shows that he has an
incredible sense of what makes his main character tick. I
loved the moments during the satellite rescue where Clark has
to remind himself of comforting the astronauts, or that the
crashing satellite has super strong tentacle arms. Just
because Superman is physically impervious, he still has the
potential to make mistakes like us.
If there's one thing I wanted more from in this issue, it's
some catch up on Superman's supporting cast. This is largely
due to my casual knowledge of Superman in the "New 52", but I
would've liked a little more on why Clark left the Daily
Planet, and where he stands with Lois right now. The scenes
between the two are really good; I just wanted more of them.
One thing I couldn't get enough of was Jim Lee's art. I'm a
huge fan of his, and seeing him do massive action scenes will
always put a huge smile on my face. Apparently DC thought the
same, as they've included a massive pull out splash page that
doubles as a poster (and doesn't require you to unstaple the
comic to get it out either). Sure, it's a gimmick so you buy
more copies, and pretty ridiculous to try and read (yes, it's
part of the story), but at the same time, it put a giant smile
on my face.
The back up story by Snyder and Dustin Nguyen is good, but
there's not enough to really justify its inclusion here. It's
only about four pages, and feels tacked on. I would've rather
had a few more pages of Snyder and Lee's main event, but
that's just my opinion. Hopefully in the issues to come the
back up will be given a few more pages to grow.
Superman fans, time has come. Not only is Man of Steel
arriving this week, but you also get a brand new series from
two of the best creators in comics starring your boy in blue.
Superman Unchained is a book that will please die hard and
casual Superman fans alike, and I'm beyond excited to see what
Snyder and Lee have planned for us. Here's hoping Man Of Steel
leaves me feeling the same way.
Savage Wolverine #6
Oh Joe Madureira. Avenging Spider-Man was supposed to be your
big return to comics. But, after 3 issues, you jumped ship,
breaking not only Marvel's heart, but mine as well. Well, I'm
glad you're back, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm not
expecting you to bail on me again.
Savage Wolverine #6 reteams the original Avenging team of Zeb
Wells and Joe Mad in a story that feels like it was originally
planned for the Spider-Man team up book. Elektra is after the
Kingpin, and turns to Wolverine for assistance. Of course,
there's more to this than meets the eye, and Logan is quickly
embroiled in something far bigger than just "time to help
Elektra kill someone".
Wells' script jumps around a lot, but you're never lost. In
fact, I kind of liked how Wells kept the pace going, and if
you're a fan of Joe Mad's art, you really get a lot of
characters for your $4. This issue alone features Wolverine
(in his brown and tan costume!), Elektra, Spider-Man, Captain
America, Spider-Woman, Kingpin, and others. There's also some
cool looking new baddies as well.
I really enjoyed this issue, but it definitely feels like
something Marvel is publishing just to burn off Madureira's
contract. The credits page features an Editor's Note informing
us that this issue "takes place a while back, like in
October", which explains why Spider-Man doesn't sound like
Otto Octavius, but even with that note at the beginning the
whole story seems off. It's pretty clear that Marvel's been
waiting on Joe Mad to finish these pages up so they can put it
out, and I worry about the following issues and how delayed
those might be as well. Hopefully Madureira had plenty of time
to finish these issues up, or at least get a head start on
them.

THE
WAUGHBAG REPORT - Weekly noise from our Waugh!
Man of Steel (2013)
Starring: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe,
Diane Lane, Kevin Costner
Directed By: Zack Snyder
There are some MINOR SPOILERS HERE.
I can safely say that this is nothing like Bryan Singer’s attempt to
reboot the Man of Steel back in 2006. By crafting their own take on
Superman, producers Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer, along with
director Zack Snyder, have reinterpreted the boy scout into modern
times, and ask the question “what if Superman arrived today, in the
real world?”
Snyder’s natural gift for directing amazing action sequences is in
full force here. From the opening scenes on Krypton to the flat out
jaw dropping battles in Smallville and Metropolis, Man Of Steel
stands as the director’s best film to date, and a return to form
after the misstep that was Sucker Punch. You may think you have seen
action in a superhero film before, but you’ve never seen it like
this.
Henry Cavill, in my opinion, was phenomenal as Superman. Starting
off as a drifter unsure of himself in this world, his depiction of
Clark Kent becoming the man he is destined to be very affecting, and
he really sells home the ideas of loneliness and questioning that
the young Superman had to have felt at some point in his life. In
many ways, Clark’s journey is the opposite of Bruce Wayne’s in
Nolan’s Batman Begins; where Wayne is wandering with the end goal of
avenging his parents’ death, Kent is trying to figure out where he
fits in the world, always wondering if he should he reveal himself,
or remain in hiding for the rest of his life?
Other extremely talented actors surround Cavill. Diane Lane’s Martha
Kent is strong and fiercely protective of her son. Laurence
Fishburne has a great role as Perry White, editor-in-chief of the
Daily Planet, which is also where Amy Adams’ Lois Lane begins her
investigation into the mysterious “Superman”. While I liked Adams in
the role, there is a part of me that wishes her character was more
like the comic book Lois, who’s not known for taking crap from
anyone.
The standout supporting roles have to go to Clark’s two fathers: Jor-El
and Jonathan Kent. Russell Crowe brings a sense of nobility to Jor-El,
and his decision to send his only son away is extremely
heartbreaking. His “ghost A.I.” that interacts with Superman later
in the film was both cool to see, but also a little annoying, toeing
the line with giving a little too much information to characters and
appearing just in the nick of time (especially when he appears to
Lois later on in the film to help her defeat Zod).
Kevin Costner’s Jonathan Kent, unlike Jor-El, isn’t in much of the
film, but what he is in is fantastic. For some reason I’ve always
loved the character of Pa Kent, and Costner definitely delivers in
the scenes he’s in, offering guidance to his adoptive son, and
trying to his best dealing with something far beyond his
comprehension. The idea of two ordinary people having to guide a
child who will become a god is something I find really intriguing,
and Costner and Lane portray the frustration of having to shoulder
this amazing responsibility really well. Their scenes with the young
Clark are some of my favorites in the film, and also some of the
most emotionally gripping too.
For our villains we have Michael Shannon as Zod, and his female
sidekick Faora, played by Antje Traue. Both Shannon and Traue are
fantastic in their roles. I especially liked Traue’s performance,
which really sold the extremely cold nature that these surviving
Kryptonians have towards humanity. Shannon’s Zod is intense and
formidable, and his performance isn’t one of sheer villainy, but of
a soldier who’s only trying to restore the people he swore to
protect. His fanatical beliefs blind him to Superman's pleas for
peace, and lead to a conflict that is literally Earth shaking.
If there’s one complaint I have about Man of Steel, it’s that the
origin of Superman feels truncated. I didn’t feel as if there were
enough scenes of the young Clark discovering his powers and learning
how to control them. Then again, I can understand shortening this
piece of the film since everyone and their mother is aware of
Superman’s origin. The decision to tell a majority of his story in
flashbacks was inspired, and I really enjoyed how they played with
the now formulaic “origin story” movie, even if it seemed like
Snyder was rushing some parts to get to the action.
Speaking of the action, my god. If you thought The Avengers was the
be all, end all of superhero action sequences, then you haven’t seen
anything yet. Man of Steel takes what Marvel gave us and cranks it
up to 11. The sheer amount of destruction is insane, and gives a
prime example of how powerful Superman really is. Critics of
Superman Returns (including myself) who said they wanted Superman to
punch something? You get it in this. And then some. Trains are
thrown at our hero; Zod is punched through 5 buildings, and much,
much, more. Sure the wanton destruction might make you wonder for a
second if any innocent bystanders have been harmed, but then you see
another incredible action sequence that throws you right back into
the film.
There’s a shocking plot point towards the end of the film, one that
is already causing a divide amongst Superman fans, including ones in
the comics industry who have written him. I won’t spoil it here, but
I will say that I think it works within the context of the film, and
the fallout from it is incredible (not the mention that he has done
this once before in comics). I hope the ramifications of it are
dealt with in the sequel. We get a glimpse here, but I really think
you could use it as a great inner conflict for Kent in the next
film.
Man of Steel was everything I was hoping for action-wise, and while
I wish there was a little more time put into the story, I’d be lying
if I said that I didn’t immensely enjoy this film. This is the film
of the summer to beat, and a return to form for Superman on the big
screen. The word “epic” is used a lot to describe things nowadays:
from pizza to TV shows to clothes. But when it comes to Man of
Steel, it’s the only way to accurately describe the action and scope
of this film. While it's not perfect, I feel it's the best Superman
film we've had since the iconic Richard Donner film from 1978. If
Warner Bros. plays their cards right, Marvel Studios is going to
have a lot of hefty competition in the future. With the origin now
out of the way, I can't wait to see what they do for the sequel.
Verdict:
5 super-punches out of 5
