Does this happen NEXT issue? Are they learning the wrong thing from the Sonic/Mega Man crossover covers?

“Losses” WRITER: Paul Levitz PENCILER: Robson Rocha INKER: Wayne Facher COLORIST: Jason Wright COVER ART: Ryan Sook LETTERER: Taylor Exposito ASSISTANT EDITOR: Anthony Marques EDITOR: Mike Cotton “HUNTRESS” CREATORS: Paul Levitz, Joe Staton, & Bob Layton “POWER GIRL” CREATORS: Gerry Conway Ric Estrada & Wally WoodIt’s mini-comic time again here at BW’s Friday Night Fights. For this installment we return to the team-up of Marvel Comics and Drakes Snack Cakes. Remember them? They were bought by Hostess and there’s been no announcement of any of their products coming back. I love the Drakes coffee cakes. Now it seems I will miss them forever.
Tonight’s entry comes from the second series of Drakes stories. Shi-Ar criminals escape to Earth hoping to use their weapons to wage war. One group made the mistake of going after The Mount, which at the time was home to the Incredible Hulk while he had Bruce Banner’s personality. (Or apparently he didn’t, I can’t really follow all of that.) He and his colleagues made such easy work of them that it isn’t worth posting. But who doesn’t like seeing the Gladiator smashed into a plateau?

I think this is the best place to get this thought out of the way. The kiss at the end of Man Of Steel? I don’t think it shows that a romance blossomed because as many have said the relationship between Clark and Lois didn’t really progress that way. I look at it more as just one of those moments of passion where you’re looking for something to normalize the world in your head. Like that famous picture of the sailor smooching that girl when peace was declared during World War II. I’ve heard that they were complete strangers and remained so after that picture was snapped.
Now to the second of the Henry Cavill interviews about Superman. At San Diego Comic Con IO9 had a chance to talk to the actor before the Batman/Superman film was announced and asked him about Clark and Lois’s relationship at the end of Man Of Steel. Obviously spoilers are coming for the last few minutes. Also obvious from the title is that I’m going to complain about his perspective and further issues with both the New 52 and the Nolan DC Universe.
IDW needs to release a poster of this image.

Sometimes an actor can take on a role and really understand him or her better than the people making the production. (Except maybe the creator but that’s a different argument.) If that’s the case then I just lost a little more interest in Man Of Steel and the world Chris Nolan and Zac Snyder made for it. Recently Henry Cavill, who plays Clark Kent and what passes for Superman in this movie did a couple of interviews while I was setting up for ConnectiCon. Now that I have a bit of a breather before the next convention let’s look at those interviews and show why this Man of Steel fails to live up to the real one on two grounds: the Justice League and Lois Lane.
