    Superman: A Classic Message Restored

    Fan News By DCE Editorial In a recently much circulated image of a 1950’s-era color poster, Superman can be seen speaking to school children about the importance of respecting diversity. Only a tiny number of these posters are thought to still exist and little information remains about how the poster came to be.

    BLUE BEETLE #12
    Writers: J.M. DeMatteis, Keith Giffen
    Artist: Scott Kolins
    U.S. Price: $3.99
    Guest-starring Batman! Jaime Reyes may be back in his Blue Beetle armor, but he’s still a relative novice at the superhero game. And that’s raised the attention of someone who’s been doing this a long time. See what happens when the Caped Crusader swings over to El Paso to provide some schooling.

    • Can a not-yet-worthy god and a time-lost hero take on one of the world’s most powerful mutants at the height of his empire? And what does their encounter mean for the future of two Thors?

      Regarding on which I’m more excited about, network TV shows or streaming service shows, let’s say that I’ve not had TV cable connected since about 2006. I watch everything from on demand streaming sites, even regular TV. I also tend to binge watch a lot.

      Regarding the question, I generally don’t care where a TV show is coming from, just what the show is about. That being said, Netflix is known for delivering very good shows, so I’m always a little more optimistic when they announce something new.

      In other topics, I just wanted to tell you this: I read “Magneto and the Magnetic Men” not knowing what Amalgam was, and for a couple of years I thought this was canon for Magneto and I was really confused by the fact that his Magnetic Men didn’t appear anywhere else and no one seemed to remember them. Few years later when I learned about DC’s Metal Men I was like “huh, so the Magnetic Men were a parody?”. Life was fascinating before having access to the Internet!
