I'm sure many of you have been wondering why my head has become so large.  Well, I've been eating my words, but I haven't been able to swallow them, so they've been filling up my brain and gotten it all inflated.

Which words?  My words of criticism regarding a recent issue of Superman, where I vowed to stop reading the Superman books.  Of course, I really kept right on reading them - including the latest issue, Superman 653.

I've got to say - it was absolutely incredible.  The characterization of everybody - Superman, Lois, Lex, Jimmy - are all spot-on perfect.  Seeing Jimmy risk his own well-being to help his pal Superman, seeing Lex's false justifications and his twisted hatred of Superman - and seeing Superman call him on it!  Just perfect stuff.

I don't think I've ever seen Lex in a giant, Kryptonite transformer-robot before!  Sheer genius.  The whole thing was brilliant.

Kurt, if you're still here, thanks.  Fantastic job.

For those who like to wait for the trade...

SUPERMAN: UP, UP AND AWAY!
Written by Kurt Busiek and Geoff Johns; Cover by Terry and Rachel Dodson; Art by Pete Woods and Renato Guedes

It is One Year Later...and no one has seen or heard from the Man of Steel. In this collection featuring SUPERMAN #650-653 and ACTION #837-840, as Clark Kent concentrates on his career, the need for the Man of Steel has remained as strong as ever — especially now that Lex Luthor has returned to Metropolis, with his thirst for power fully intact!

I really like how Lex always brings himself down due to his obsession with Superman. Even with Superman gone he didn't accomplish everything he claimed he would do (such as curing cancer and ending famine)--he just switched his hatred from Superman to Metropolis. It kind of makes you wonder if Lex needs someone to hate in life, someone to challenge him.

Many people want others to accept their opinions as fact. If enough people accept them as fact then it gives the initial person or persons a feeling of power. This is why people will constantly talk about something they hate—they want others to feel the same way. It matters to them that others perceive things the same way that they do.
