“Some things -- you never lose.” —Clark Kent / Superman, Action Comics (1938) #840
rereading SUPERMAN: UP, UP, AND AWAY! with fresh eyes was so wonderful. busiek and johns’ clark is such a treat; they write superman stories with such heart to them, even in the midst of crazy villains and fights and tricks about itching powder and dark, alleyway beatdowns. clark is without his powers, without superman, one year after the INFINITE CRISIS event, and he’s doing well. metropolis faired without him with the help of his caped friends, but there will always be something in clark that makes him want to help. it’s what makes him superman, at the end of the day. not the powers, not really, but that innate goodness in him. in busiek’s other story, SUPERMAN: SECRET IDENTITY, he posits the question: if you had superpowers, wouldn’t you help? and in this, busiek-johns go even further: without superpowers, wouldn’t you still help? it’s the clark kent way, after all.
god, i love superman so much. anyway, love n light everyone mwah mwah xoxo
