The most amazing thing about this comic book is DC editorial only got it after threatening to ruin Superman and then telling Grant Morrison about it. You practically held that man’s favorite character hostage at gunpoint.
Yeah they were going to turn Clark into injustice because that was the only Superman thing they could remember being popular. 😢 Dc was going to make jonathan into the second coming of Superman, who would save the day and lead the resistance against him. ( So would they'd be ripping off invincible or castlevania?) Considering a number of future state narratives ended up re written into continuity. Explains all the forced narratives and charcter changes jonathan has been put down the past years. And why is he currently just fighting in injustice. ( I used to love kid Jonathan Kent in Super Sons and wanted him cemened in superfam lore and to see more of him. But after the bednis aged up and artificial character "ascension" forced by Tom Taylor, I despise the character and just want to see him get Disrespectfully destroyed, cruelty or comedically killed off, and immediately deaged. Like in 1 comic blow his brains out of the beginning of the comic during one if his boring speeches they keep giving him and have Damian resurrect him as a fourteen year old, on the last panel. There are bi 14 years old.)
@superjlk_9538 Lex Luthor, 😏 "Oh, sorry, Superman, there was only enough material to bring him back at 14, What he remembers and what you can do with anybody's yes. I took the liberty of leaving out removing those traumatic years he spent trapped on earth three" Jon " I was where?" Superman." Don't worry, son. It We not really talk about it. Honestly, it never really comes up"
“It doesn’t really take place in a continuity that makes any sense but also it is firmly established in continuity” really is the best way to describe DC’s approach to storytelling these days in general.
Great episode, folks! I've always had an interesting relationship with this book. It's Morrison doing Superman so I'm naturally a fan, but it's burdened by the messy editorial situation at DC at the time. It very much feels like Grant doing a setup for a new Superman status quo that just didn't happen, and because this story ultimately goes nowhere, the formation of the Authority (and Superman being aged up) feels kinda pointless. It's a real shame, especially if this is Morrison's farewell to Superman.
“Wow, that’s a great bunch of plot threads you’ve set up there, be a real shame if absolutely nobody did anything with them” - DC Editorial, every single fucking time Grant Morrison writes a comic book
Grant Morrison: No I'm done with Superman for a while. DC: Okay we got an idea for making Superman evil again. Morrison: I have 12 pitches, 3 completed scripts and a bag a mushrooms.
The ending discussion about Grant Morrison using characters no onetoiches is how I feel about Al Ewing and his Defenders book that picks up immediately after his Loki Agent of Asgard book, and continuing a bunch of other story threads for like a Decade now.
It's kinda funny that Didio was pushing for younger generation of heroes while also absolutely hating the previous generation of young heroes. Titans' nightmare in Night Terror should be Didio coming back to DC
Oh don't forget the plutonian from Mark ward's irredeemable. What was great about him as an evil superman was that waid used him to show how awesome superman is. While all of the plutonians life choices slowly built upon each other to turn him into a villain, superman made all the right choices and remains the world's greatest superhero.
Regarding King Arthur's table and chairs, I would guess Superman froze them all into one big chunk with his breath, carried it to the future, and thawed it out
As an unabashed Morrison fan, one of the best ways to appreciate what they're doing (even if you disagree with it), is their own recent annotations of their own work, including this one, on their blog, Xanaduum. I think what I've always taken and admired from their work is that even when a plot point seems ridiculous or out of left field, they can fully articulate and justify exactly why they did it, and what it means. That makes even their less successful stuff **interesting** which is something I personally hold onto dearly when I feel down about other books that seem to just **be there** without any deeper thought put into them.
I actually followed this story as it was coming out and I really dug it. It's one of the few Superman stories I've read and it worked for me. I think I just really vibe with Morrison's style and approach. I'm very much in the "who cares who changes the oil in the batmobile" camp. I appreciate that level of detail, but I don't need it, and I rarely miss it when it's not there. But more than that, something about the way Morrison infuses the book with this air of importance and myth and weight just... clicks with what I like.
Always a good day when Back Issues comes in with a Superman episode right as my hyperfixation on Superman is in full swing!! Love y'all at ComicPop, thanks for all you do!
I hopped on to reading comics with warworld saga Superman. Luckily I knew who the elite and authority were so I kinda knew the team. Warworld was a fun comic to see how influential Superman is.
the way this was definitely not in continuity, or at least took place in the future, only for it to be really handwaved into current ongoing continuity was hilarious to experience in real time. I did end up really enjoying the warworld saga, although i wish it didnt have this baggage
The original ending was that Superman had been split in two like Supermam Red/Superman Blue. The lead was Superman Blue with Superman Red leading a team of The Authority with Damian Wayne and Jon Kent who was the dictator Superman. Phillip Kennedy Johnson asked Morrison to change that ending since that would not add up in any way with the planned DCU. Grant Morrison admitted as much in a Substack Newsletter.
Between Morrison and Janin’s redesign of Clark in this book and his character design in My Adventures with Superman, I’ve gotta say, I’m quite happy with the recent “himbo Clark Kent” renaissance
Especially since they’ve really moved forward with John as a Superman (which I don’t like because I’m still mad Bendis aged him up to be the same age as Conner. The Superboy that already existed. THAT Bendis ALSO WROTE). That was a way to really differentiate the two that let’s Clark exist while also doing his own thing. Dan Didio was a plague for a long time.
I don't know if your covering Eclipso and the original Authority in the past couple months was an intentional build up to this... but if it was, that's some brilliant planning on your part, Sal.
I'd say that this authority team was used to a good extent in the warworld storyline. All the characters had a role to play. Some more than others. Midnighter was much more touched on than light ray for sure.
PKJ's Warworld Saga definitely was not just Superman and definitely used the Authority characters from this mini. I'm a little confused why Sal would say that they weren't important. EDIT: Oh I see that Sal didn't care for that arc. He probably dropped it.
These takes from him genuinely frustrated me lol. WwS is one of the best Superman stories of the modern age, and PKJ's time on Action Comics is definitely going down as one of the all time great runs on the character. It's one of those stories that people who didn't get Superman before finally do because of its existence. To see such inaccurate and disingenuous statements undercutting the rest of the story that Sal didn't even bother to read a proper summary of really rubbed me the wrong way.
Great episode. This book feels so weird fitting into that Superman run, glad PKJ decided to take what Grant set up and make it "work" in the other books. As War World was awesome. Btw lol Grant Morrison brought back the new 52 Superman in an annual issue of Sideways roughly before this.
The book tha Morrison forced themselves to undertake. I actually really dug Superman's design in this. Very Ton Strong, like Superman has evolved into being a science hero which is a neat idea. Here's to the march towards episode 500!
15:33 I guess by that logic Supergirl and all the Kryptonians under the yellow sun would be warm🤔. Except Zod's. The general's heart is cold fusion only🤪😂
Sal's JFK impression is even better than his Grant Morrison. I think the whole JFK scenes were inspired by a legendary issue of Superman slated to come out December 1963, wherein Supes has an adventure *with* JFK.
Oh man this is one of the books I’m really interested in hearing the context of. It has to be weird, I was so confused how they even got Grant Morrison to write it or why
When I read this I didn’t really like the story, the meta stuff and all the commentary were interesting and fun though. But in retrospective and having read action comics from PKJ I actually came to enjoy the story.
To answer the chairs/Round Table question: One of Superman's powers is tactile telekinesis which adds to his ability to lift or move heavy objects and why those items (like say an entire building) don't succumb to gravity and crack or fall apart. So I imagine he could pick up the table and since the chairs are nearby they would lift with it as he carries it.
I can't believe you bring up the Ultra-Humanite without mentioning his first plot was to swap brains with a super model, who then herself went insane from body dismorphia and became came back years later as a terrifyingly grim super villain.
Gotta say I didn’t expect to see Ultra Humanite appear in this story but then again he’s right of Grant’s alley. So I almost feel stupid for NOT seeing it coming. Anyways please make another installment of Harbor Patrol 🙏

You know it’s gonna be a great episode when Sal says “There’s a lot to unpack here” within the first 30 seconds 😂
Don’t forget the classic Sal sigh as he says it😂

“Wow, that’s a great bunch of plot threads you’ve set up there, be a real shame if absolutely nobody did anything with them” - DC Editorial, every single fucking time Grant Morrison writes a comic book
That Morrison impression never gets old 😂
Grant Morrison: No I'm done with Superman for a while.
DC: Okay we got an idea for making Superman evil again.
Morrison: I have 12 pitches, 3 completed scripts and a bag a mushrooms.
Grant Morrison is the Tom Brady of DC comics
That’s Grant “Never ask me for anything ever again” Morrison for you, that’s quality
“Damn, we need a new Superman book… HEY GRANT WE’RE MAKING HIM HITLER!”
“LIKE BLOODY HELL YOU ARE!”
Superman's War-World arc was pretty rad. It's like comic book comfort food.
It's pretty much "I wanna World War Superman and have him being cool barbarian." Which as far as pitches go is fun.
The ending discussion about Grant Morrison using characters no onetoiches is how I feel about Al Ewing and his Defenders book that picks up immediately after his Loki Agent of Asgard book, and continuing a bunch of other story threads for like a Decade now.
It's kinda funny that Didio was pushing for younger generation of heroes while also absolutely hating the previous generation of young heroes. Titans' nightmare in Night Terror should be Didio coming back to DC
He just appears out of chaos like Barry running out of the Speed Force
“Oh no you don’t, RICK GRAYSON!”
Oh don't forget the plutonian from Mark ward's irredeemable. What was great about him as an evil superman was that waid used him to show how awesome superman is. While all of the plutonians life choices slowly built upon each other to turn him into a villain, superman made all the right choices and remains the world's greatest superhero.
Regarding King Arthur's table and chairs, I would guess Superman froze them all into one big chunk with his breath, carried it to the future, and thawed it out
Grant Morrison's Green Lantern run had that meta-commentary on comics and the real world, as well.

That makes even their less successful stuff **interesting** which is something I personally hold onto dearly when I feel down about other books that seem to just **be there** without any deeper thought put into them.
As a relative outsider, Morrison strikes me as someone that you respect what they do even if it's very much not your thing.
23:03 - "That one guy from Smallville that Superman hates." Oh, you mean Brad from Superman III?
Sal’s comment about their being fans of Homelander might be the most depressing thing I’ve ever heard.
Aw yeah, the crossover I've been waiting for!
Ethan and the Ultra-Humanite
Read this when it came out and largely was confused, so thanks for the white hot context
Good ol' Morrison!😅
That’s exactly how I felt when I was reading it.
The Morrison impression is back 😂 but also, can I just say, Sal’s JFK is sneakily good too haha

Every time someone mentions Tom Strong, Alan Moore gains another ring.
Alan Moore deconstructs Superhero comics. Grant Morrison deconstructs Alan Moore comics.

Grant Morrison is the Tom Brady(or Steven Soderbergh)of DC comics. Announces they'll retire, then comes back 4 months later with a new script
Sense I don't watch sports here's my take Grant Morrison is the Hayao Miyazaki of comics.
But unlike Brady, Morrison has talent
Loved their Pride story
