DAN SLOTTS JOINS DC COMICS - UP FIRST : 'SUPERMAN UNLIMITED'


DAN SLOTT will soon be writing his first DC Comic: 'SUPERMAN UNLIMITED' with art by Rafael Albuquerque.

“He’s the first and the greatest superhero of all-time, and I’ve been waiting my whole life to tell stories about him,” said Slott, “Not just because of all the amazing powers he has, but because of who he is inside. Rafael Albuquerque and I are going to take him—and you—to places you’ll want to escape to every month. Millions of surprising ideas for Superman, Lois, the supporting cast, classic rogues, and all-new friends and foes too. If you’ve never read a Superman book, a DC book, or any comic book before—or if you’ve been a Superman fan your entire life—you couldn’t ask for a better place to take the leap and go all in than Superman Unlimited #1.”

I like Slott's writing, and normally like Albuquerque's artwork... but that cover art isn't great, IMO.

So what’s Superman Unlimited about?
The series kicks off with a massive extinction-level Kryptonite asteroid shower, creating an arms race for the new most valuable resource on the planet: Green K. This has ramifications as far as the balance of power when it comes to criminal empires. That includes Intergang, under new leadership, is on the rise, with practically all their foot soldiers carrying at least one clip of Kryptonite bullets on them.

The asteroid also left massive Kryptonite deposits to be mined, and it houses unlimited horrors yet to be unpacked. To survive, Superman will need to forge new alliances, new tech, and new tactics if he hopes to carry on his quest for truth, justice, and a better tomorrow!

The series also sees a change with the Daily Planet, which gets an upgrade. A merger with a new incarnation of Morgan Edge’s Galaxy Communications expands the Daily Planet brand into a multimedia news platform with a cable news channel, website, strong social media presence with Lois Lane still editor in chief. Daily Planet regulars Jimmy Olsen, Ron Troupe, Cat Grant and Steve Lombard will staff satellite branches across the DC universe, creating a global network. Behind it all is the tech savvy of a new IT specialist from Gorilla City, King Solovar’s goddaughter, Tee-Nah.

It's a helluva time to be a Superman Comic fan, what with MARK WAID writing 'Superman: Action Comics', 'Batman/Superman: World's Finest', 'Justice League Unlimited' and 'Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor' (mini).

THE L.A. FIRES


There is a ton of misinformation floating around. Including everything coming from our president elect. To set the record straight:
  • While the news outlets report on Celebrities and Multi-Millionaires being affected by this fire, they are not the only ones. Regular working folks have lost their homes and lives. Ask any person in LA and they can name several friends and associates who have lost everything.

  • The forest lands burning are controlled by the Federal government.

  • The water shortages had nothing to do with water not being diverted by our governor. 

  • Our reservoirs are full. There is no shortage. The water tanks in the Palisades just couldn't be refilled quickly enough. 

  • There were no reductions that were made to the LAFD that would have impacted the situation. According to the LA Times, after the 2024-25 budget was passed, the city council approved $53m in pay raises for firefighters and $58m for new kit, such as firetrucks. Once that funding is taken into account, the fire department's operating budget technically grew this year.
Please dig deeper. People are aiming to deceive you.

Our country hasn't faced a fire in a populated area at this magnitude before. The Pacific Palisades is GONE! I used to live 3 miles due south of that community!


What's encouraging through all this is the fact that volunteer opportunities are at capacity. This city has come together in a way that I've never experienced. We have firefighters and equipment in use from Canada, Mexico, and several surrounding states. We're facing years of recovery, and need your support. Please keep this city and its residents that have lost everything in your thoughts and if you're able to give, please do.


I have dear friends in Altadena!
