I have not been a fan the redesigned Superman costume. I think it’s clunky looking and the excess lines just make it look busy in a way Superman’s costume really shouldn’t. However, Kenneth Rocafort has made a pretty good go of it here, and I think he’s the first person I’ve seen to make it look decent. De-emphasizing all those lines and making it look less bulky were definitely smart moves.
Due to the solid New 52 push and, whether they’ll admit it or not, a litigation-driven desire to make Superman look less like his original Action Comics #1 self, we’re not probably going to get the old trunks-on-the-outside circus strongman-looking Superman again, I get that. And I’m not morally opposed to updating the look a bit, I just want what we get to be better than, well, what we got. And Rocafort, I think, is a step in that direction. Good on ya, Kenneth!

A gaggle of Batmobiles. The damn Supermobile! Yeah, this was one of my grail pages. And now it is mine, because my amazing wife bought it for me.
No offense to other people’s wives, who I’m sure are fine, but my wife is the best wife.
