DC Retroactive: Superman – The ’80s 1 (October 2011)

What a terrible comic book. Marv Wolfman’s writing is so lame, I’ll never even have time to mention how Sergio Cariello isn’t a particularly good artist.

So, if you’re unaware, Crisis on Infinite Earths is the most important thing in the world and Wolfman wrote it. If you are unaware, this comic will let you know. Not only is it the most important thing, nothing about Superman himself is particularly important. He gets visited by the Ghost of Christmas Future, who shows him every major DC event in the next twenty years. It means Wolfman doesn’t have to write an actual story for Superman, just a bunch of flash forwards.

Well, he does write a little stuff set in the eighties. An incredibly dumb Galactus rip-off shows up and Superman tries to fight him.

This issue’s so bad… it makes me never want to read a Wolfman comic again.
