Superman Beyond: Written by J.T. KRUL; Pencils by HOWARD PORTER

The Beyond universe isn't quite in-continuity; it's a set of digital-only comic books set in the universe of Batman Beyond, in which Bruce is long retired and Terry McGinnis has taken his place. In this future, Kal continues to be Superman, but is usually dealing with a younger set of

Awww, I want this! There is no print version of it? :(

It's funny, most of the other digital editions have print versions, but I can't find one for SB! I'm hoping they'll release one eventually, though...

Me too, I haven't bought DC comics since the reboot, I bought the first Batman, but nothing is really appealing to me.

Oh, I so love the aged Bruce from the Beyond verse and this is just so brilliant. :)

I have such a soft spot for the Beyond-world and for Old Guy Friend stories in general. :) Krul as the author almost scared me off, but I've been enjoying it!

I did keep away because of Krul, but now I might pick up the trade. :)

LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the name and went "ummm..."

I'm slowly developing a theory that some writers just do better with older or younger characters, and it's possible Krul was just a very poor fit for Teen Titans, but knows how to rock a mature Superman? And not just age--I think Brad Meltzer was appalling with more minor characters, not caring what long-term damage Identity Crisis did to characters like Zatanna or Sue Dibny, but I liked how he wrote Clark and Bruce in JLA just fine. He also shafted Black Canary as "leader" of the JLA. Hm, this discrepancy might have less to do with major/minor and more to do with who has testicles, now that I'm looking at the list... :P

Also: BATMAN PRANCING AROUND LIKE A PRINCESS. *is ded*

THAT LINE. To say that to any version of Batman is hilarious, but especially when he's so massively armored up is just fantastic. :)

I still pay attention to the night sky. Ahhhhhh *flails*!!!!
My poor dog! I'm squealing so much she thinks I want to play XD
Gah! *is puddle of goo*

Aren't old Clark and Bruce the best? Ohhh, I really love your icon for it! *claps like crazy*
