Re: Superman's New Haircut
Green Lantern looks like he will be fighting evil in a bathrobe... which is awesome. I can't tell if he is righteously angry or just trying to stay warm in the cold. Surprised no one has resorted to masturbation jokes yet...

Re: Superman's New Haircut
I liked his work during X-men but after that it got real boring. I like Barry Windsor-Smith's criticism of his work "an artist in training" or something like that. I don't understand his popularity at all.
Edit: Found the article...basically he's saying how shitty today's artists are. It's hard to disagree with him.

Re: Superman's New Haircut
I assume Travis "Charts" he mentions is Charest, who did evolve from a glorified Jim Lee clone to one of the better artists in the industry, though he's right he had a ton of trouble with storytelling initially.
Lots of condescension in that interview, however. Some of it probably justified, sure, but still.

Re: Superman's New Haircut
thanks for looking up the link for the interview. I loved his Weapon X storyline and thought it was so much better than ORIGIN. I have also seen some of his Conan work which I thought was excellent. I'll have to check out some of his non-Marvel/DC work. A really great interview.
If you have a chance to check them out you can see how his work evolved and how it actually improved in Weapon X.

I always thought Supergirl's 80's curly hair was a mistake and then they added that headband to it.

I remember seeing his first issue of Marvel's Conan comic book with him as the artist, and then seeing his artwork from later in his career, on the same character, in Savage Sword of Conan magazine. Big difference.
About Supergirl's 80s look, I actually kind of like it for some reason. The headband looks stupid, but I kind of like the stylized S connected to the cape.
About Superman's mullet, that's one of the reasons I stopped buying the Superman comics after he returned. Probably a stupid reason but oh well.

I loved Supergirl's 80s look. The curls were perfect. Looked great to me 
I started reading Superman regularly about 3 years before Crisis and stopped just after the Death of Superman. That story was wretched.

Superman's mullet drove me to drop his books at the time.

Re: Superman's New Haircut
So not only does Superman have a new power and a secret to share with his best pal Jimmy, it looks like he's getting a new haircut.
DC started releasing their Post-Convergence June solicitations and Superman #41 gets a new writer and a new cut.
I did not enjoy the first story arc from Johns and Romita and found it hard to get through at times. I've never read anything from this new writer but I may give this issue a try. However, there's a lot of new DC that month including a new Batman Beyond, new Bryan Hitch Justice League, start of the Darkseid War and the We Are Robin book. I dunno.

Yeah, the shaved mohawk looks stupid. Not sure why they went there. Gordon didn't have a shaved head in earlier New 52 stories.

It's still the "New 52" continuity. They just aren't calling it the "New 52" anymore since it's 4 years old now. (And they also gave up on the concept of keeping 52 ongoing titles.)

I haven't exactly been following DC but wasn't the new 52 started with the concept that pretty much nothing beforehand 'counted'? And isn't this Convergence the first real time they've mixed in the old stuff?

Re: Superman's New Haircut
I am only reading a few New 52 titles, but for the most part it was a complete reboot with a few exceptions. The Grant Morrison run on Batman and the Geoff Johns run on Green Lantern are still canon in the New 52. Everything else pre-Flashpoint is pretty much non-canon now.

Re: Superman's New Haircut
Well, big chunks of Morrison's Batman run and Johns' Lantern run are still canon. DC has gone back and "tweaked" portions here and there to match up with the idea that only 6 years have passed since Superman first showed up.
Yeah. Convergence is the first time that any pre-Flashpoint continuity is being acknowledged.
