Was a fitting end to Volume One. I can't wait to see what happens with this title going forward. I just really hope that someone picks it up pretty soon.

Short, but it's just what the doctor ordered.
You ended the arc in exactly the way we needed to for someone to take up the title and for that, this is 100% successful.
One thing I particularly liked was how a potential new writer could take Superman down a darker path due to "killing" Parasite or a super boyscout version due to the same events because he doesn't want them to happen again. That's perfect. Great job.

I like the way you wrapped everything up quickly, yet opened strands which could be used to create the next storyline.

The difficult thing was crafting those strands and wrapping things up in a way so as it doesn't leave things to be finite. Everything I did could lead to either a different Man of Steel being used or someone continuing along the road Star set up. Only thing I did for me was insert a bit of storyline Star and I discussed before he left but that's something a potential writer could ignore if they so choose.

Good way to end the first arc, made me feel uncomfortable with Superman "killing" the Parasite as Supes isn't one to kill. I have to admit that Superman was the character I was hoping to grab one day, but writing down my story arcs ahead of time probably won't be soon enough to pick up the title. Can't wait to see who gets it.

Ace issue, short but lots of action, and you managed to wrap up the arc well. I'm still gutted about Star leaving, but I hope the title is picked up soon. Superman is a bit of a hard title though, he's a big character. Anyway- you left it in an easy place to pick up from. Nice job.

It was an ok end but sadly , I wish Stardrifter was here to do it. Which is a shame. It was one of the best UDCU reads each month. In all I loved the action and end with Parasite alive. I liked how you left it open ended.
I also hope we don't get another start from #1 deal with the new writer. They can follow the numbering pretty easy and do the next arc. It shouldn't be a huge deal to do for them. Everything is left open for them to do .

Very Grant Morrison of You. Reading the first issue I'm not sure how to feel its well written but I'm not a huge fan of alternate universe hopping Superman.

Just a minor peeve, having the Soviet's and Nazi's working together as allies in an international order doesn't make much sense. They hated each other, it's like making Star Wars 7 with the Sith's and Jedi's opening a bakery together.
The first person writing style is something I've considered doing, and in my opinion you did it very well. Especially the Electrocutionar bit at the start building on the previous arc.
As long as the alt universes don't end up getting too confusing through character swaps and such, I like them. The issue is if it ends up with different versions of the same character living in the same universe long term, which very rarely goes well.

Haha I would see taht movie too, but the Nazi/Soviet order will be explained in later issues. And thankyou for the compliment on the first person writting. It was a farely short issue, and I plan to have them be about seven pages of word document (where that one was only 4 1/2 pages). And Grant Morrison is my favorite writter, so I kind of tried to model after him to some degree.

Huh! Interesting, I would have never gotten that about you form your posts or our PMs. See, you never know about some people. ;D -M

As for the issue itself..an interesting start. Kind of UDCU meets Elseworlds. Very different from the draft issue I saw a month or so ago (the Electrocutioner being the only common element), but with the hiatus of the JLA event and such that is to be expected.
I will say Clark's "voice" feels very different than the previous issues, but the end of #9 opened the door to change and 9 months is a lot of time for those changes to take place, so it begs the question what happened to cause those changes...I will wait and see and just go along for the ride.

Its hard for me to be objective about this issue. It was well written, don't get me wrong. Short, but well done. I just really don't like how Clark was written. 9 months is a long time, but his dickish attitude didn't sit well with me. But as I said, not really objective here.
Keep em coming.

This was sort of confusing to be honest. Maybe it's just me, but it just seemed hard to follow the story. There were also a few proof reading issues (To instead of too, Clark getting called Cark at one point). Can't say I really enjoyed the issue that much although I appreciate what you're trying to do and that it may all become more clear later.

I didn't get it. It seems like its trying to hard to distance itself from being Superman. Though I feel you have a bigger picture that will work itself out.

During my run I'm attempting to tell the story about how Superman impacts Clark, and how Clark is a part of a bigger picture. So yes, in a since, I am trying to distance it from being your traditional Superman title.
