![]() ![]() I’m not going to summarize the plot of CoIE because it’s…pretty much incomprehensible. The reason for this was a line-wide reboot of the DC Universe going on at the time called Crisis on Infinite Earths. Moore puts a certain version of Superman out to pasture in this story, to be replaced by someone different. ![]() It was billed as THE LAST SUPERMAN STORY, and in a sense it was. The former would be the last issue of volume one of Superman, with the comic getting a new number one issue shortly after ( Action Comics wouldn’t get a numerical restart until 2011, but more on that later). Published in 1986, the story spans two issues, Superman #235 and Action Comics #583. ![]() ![]() Let’s begin with Alan Moore and Curt Swan’s “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?”įirst, a bit of context. Let’s kick off with a story by a writer I have extremely complex feelings about, that’s embedded in a very particular moment in comic book history. Just to make things easy, let’s start off with an ending, and a piece that’s been analyzed by people far smarter than myself. ![]()
