Buy The Man of Steel by Bendis! amzn.to/2UrfKfK A remorseless killer called Rogol Zaar has arrived on Earth, bringing wide-scale death and destruction in his wake. Only Superman and his cousin, Supergirl, stand between Zaar and the completion of his mission--the utter annihilation of the Kryptonian race. But even as Kal-El and Kara struggle to contain this new existential threat, the world's greatest superhero faces a completely different challenge in his adopted home city of Metropolis, where Clark Kent still lives and works--but without his wife and son. The stage is set for a reckoning like nothing Superman has ever faced, and everything that matters to the Man of Steel hangs in the balance!

There are no words to describe how much I hate Bendis' Superman. And this, ladies and gentlemen, was the catalyst for it. Bendis' complete disregard for continuity and complete misunderstanding of the appeal of Jonathan Kent is agonizing for me, as a fan of Tomasi's Superman and Dan Jurgens' Action Comics. Thank you for covering this.

@oatmat 5 жыл бұрын

I 100% agree with you & whats funny & kind of sad is that 10 or 12 years ago (right after Infinite Crisis or Final Crisis) if Bendis came to work the Superman then, all the decisions he would have made would have been awesome & the execution would have been stellar too. It was around the early 2010's that Bendis's creative spark died

@batfreeze56 5 жыл бұрын

@@oatmat Superman was my first time reading Bendis. And, after three issues from each series (especially after someone said the word "autistic" as an insult in Action 1002) I had to drop it. The free pass that he's gotten to completely ruin everything that Tomasi, Gleason, and Jurgens set in place is infuriating. The Man of Steel, Superman, and Action are the only comics that I've ever hated. And, coming from me, that's saying a lot. Now I understand how Spider-Man fans have felt for the past ten years.

@b.parker1740 5 жыл бұрын

What also kills me, besides what has been said before, is the fact that it is clear that Bendis' big vision for the book is super uninspired. The way he uses Jor-El is just how Batman has been using Talia and Ras since Damien was introduced. Rogol Zaar pretty much is just a dumber retread of both Lobo and Doomsday. And, let's not forget, the use of retcon and attempted erasure of the marriage to Lois is exactly the type of stuff people hated from Marvel that he was pretty much ingrained with during his time there (although, the problems with marriage there seemed more to be at Quesada's feet, but whatever, retcon still was a Bendis era staple of Marvel writing).

@@thrawncaedusl717 I agree that his work on Jessica Jones, a (fantastic) Bendis original character, and DareDevil were great. After all, crime and noir stories seem to be his specialty. Many of his earlier team stories were also great and led into amazing events like Avengers disassembled. Nevertheless, the vast majority of his post-2011 works, that don't involve the aforementioned, are inconsistent but usually bad. He'd occasionally write a half-decent story that starts out great, especially ones consisting of teenagers, but they always peaked in the middle only to crash in a glorious flame of suck by the end. The rest of his stories just came across as one-note or unreadable, especially when he tries to mitagate the issue through wordy banter-style dialogue. Honestly, it felt like he spent the latter half of this decade riding on the coattails of Mike's Morales and the Ultimate Spider stories.

The one Bendis story that everyone seems to think is great is his Daredevil run. But all the same complaints apply equally there. I guess the difference is people didn't really like Bob Gale's run on Daredevil, but he spent a lot of time in six issues to rebuild Daredevil's supporting cast after Kevin Smith's run. He had supporting characters from his law firm, a good potential love interest, and an emphasis that his secret identity was now safe. Bendis literally threw all of it away but threw in a reference to the story to show that he had some vague idea that it happened.

So I took a break from comics since around July last year. I was excited to see this back issues episode to catch me up... now I'm really upset that they ruined everything they had going for them. This and Guardians of the Galaxy have permanently soured my opinion of Bendis, who at one point was maybe my favorite writer.

Im rewatching this now and it reignited my Bendis Superman hate. Thanks a lot Bendis! …But also i love a lot of your work

Okay, we're gonna repurpose this rejected Nu52 Etrigan redesign as a new villain. What would make this less obvious? I know, we'll make his skin pale, bedazzle him with jewels and give him a rad battle-ax! How I imagine the Rogul pitch meeting going

Hearing about this pisses me off because I actually enjoyed super sons and it was my favorite thing in rebirth

So glad I woke up early to watch this before class The Off the Rack reviews were great and I couldn’t wait for the back issues

This bugged the hell out of me because I was really enjoying Jurgens’ run on Action Comics and where it was going…and then it got cut short for this. All the good will Jurgens and Tomasi built up got thrown away.
