"I can't recommend these, at least not as serious reference material. The Superman one is filled with errors, and I have to assume the other two are as well. I discovered this when I was writing for CBR and was doing a story on Superboy's first…"

"It was a jolt to see Sue describe herself as the leader; she hasn't been. She HAS had some insane upgrades to her abilites in the current (just concluded series, since they are starting over with an unnecessary #1 issue). One I'm pleased with is she…"

"So did I. I enjoyed both immensely. Irredeemable posits What if Superman went off his rocker? 
Incorruptible takes the flip side of that equation: What if a villain truly and fully went straight?"

"Captain Comics said:
*I know retcons like X-Men: The Hidden Years, zero issues, Minus One issues, etc., were official when they came out, but they seem to evaporate once published. That's OK by me. If Marvel ever tried to incorporate all the retcons…"

"No, but it's been a long time since I've read those issues. (LIke, I forgot Shang-Chi's mother was in the first story!) 
So give us the deets, please."

ClarkKent_DC replied to Jeff of Earth-J's discussion Master of Kung Fu
"I stand corrected. Thank you, Phillip. Still, Shang-Chi's mother (who, so far as I know, was never given a name) appeared only twice in 10 years, and 143 issues apart. So she was hardly a major player in the series.
But declaring a white American…"

"I'll be the curmudgeon here. I'm someone who, over time, has come to think that starting over all titles after Crisis with a new #1 and new continuity is one of those "neat ideas" that is truly terrible. Bad enough to wipe away the multiple Earths;…"
