DC House of Horror was a botched late-term abortion on paper. The worst thing DC comics has published since Sonic Disruptors.
I AM a big horror guy and this thing was wretched
I’m really sorry I helped force you to read this. I’m sorrier still that I read it.
And stop apologising, the show was great as ever!
I just thought of this, and I could be wrong, because I haven’t followed all of the new 52 and Rebirth Supes stuff, but is this Joe-El the other Superman (new 52 dead one)’s Joe-El and therefore basically #notmyJorEl? Allowing us to perhaps feel that real Jor-El is still a pretty swell guy? Also, that story is treading water. I feel like I’ve read the same issue four times. Bummer. It does look terrific art wise though.
Ooh, good point! Of course, the DCU is still enough of a mess right now for this Jor-El to be any number of Jor-Els. I haven’t read the latest issue yet but I’ve actually rather enjoyed this mini-event. It ain’t great but apparently, I’m still not sick of stories about what makes Superman who he is and why he’s clearly not just any old Kryptonian whose response to earth would probably be way different and, largely, much less benevolent than his.
AV Club has been consumed by Kinja platform and retooled as a click-bait “40 news items a day” sort of site, but damn it, they still do really stellar commentary and thoughtful comic analysis. Like, Eisner award-winning (last year) type stuff. Bookmark their comics tag and read every article; maybe it’ll get them enough page hits to where they’ll be able to do more of that and less of CBR’s nauseating pointless listicles,
