But, then I changed my perception filter to "timey-whimey" which makes so much more sense. And Superman's landlady is Mxyzptlk's wife, but also Clark's guardian angel? Vndyktvx is an interesting idea for a bad guy, until its application. He's a god, but not a god. Can be all times of Superman's life but from his perspective it's all the same time. I get that he might not understand time, except that Vndyktvx is also a human named Ferlin who does understand time. I just hope this character is now gone for all time. I will grant that the Multi-spear/the Multitude was pretty cool, and also what really got me thinking "timey-whimey". näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Five years ago, Clark Kent moved to Metropolis. Alone buthopeful, he donned a simple t-shirt laden with a giant S, beginning the career of one of the greatest heroes this-or any other-world has seen. Superman has grown with the city around him, and though he is feared by the public, there's no doubt theyneed him to protect them from this universe's gravest threats. But when the multiverse sends its deadliest villains against the Man of Steel, can even he turn them back? Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

I'll take these over another goddamn storyline called "Endgame" or "Finale" any day, thanks.
Anyhow, this is a bit of a muddled ending. I really like the handling of Vyndktvx here - the idea of a fifth-dimensional imp like Mxyzptlk (I almost didn't have to Google that) who's out to destroy Superman instead of just mess with his day is genuinely scary, and the art team does a great job of selling his menace (Morrison a little less so), whether in the Little Man disguise he's assumed throughout the story or his final, nightmarish multi-faced spider-creature form. Weirdly, as someone who will go to bat for most of Morrison's work, I think his dedication to this crazy storytelling contrivance of his - Superman's timeline becoming fractured as Vyndktvx closes in - is what undoes this storyline. It's too hard to follow, and there's not nearly enough clues for someone reading it to be able to figure out what's going on. The introduction of the Legion of Super-Heroes time-traveling in from the future only exacerbates the problem.
I do have to tip my (burning bowler) hat to what Morrison accomplished here though - there's a lot of great detail here. I reread the first two volumes after I read this collection through for the first time and felt totally lost, and I was pleasantly surprised how much stuff connected together from the obvious (the homeless person talking about the "white dog" ending up being a reference to Krypto watching over things from the Phantom Zone) to the "wow, how did he plan that" (the three people looking for Clark in the first or second issue that we never see have to be the time-traveling Legion). Then again, there is some stuff that just doesn't make sense still (Are there two super-hunter guys that the Little Man tries to use against Superman? If not, why does he show up for the same super-hunter guy twice to cut a deal?)
Overall, this is a good end to a great storyline - just don't come into this cold expecting to understand it all (and even if you don't come into it cold, maybe don't expect to understand it all). ( )
