This week on Comics and Chronic we’re following the blockbuster movie Superman (2025) with a titular story Superman For All Seasons by Jeph Loeb & art by the late great Tim Sale. Lettering by Richard Starkings & coloring by Bjarne Hansen
“Told through the course of four seasons in the Man of Steel's adolescent life, this collection illustrates that it is the person, not the powers, that makes Superman a hero."
SUPERMAN FOR ALL SEASONS is emotional and insightful, humanizing the alien from another planet so that he is not only realistic but also relatable. It also features in-depth characterizations of Lana Lang, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane and the Kents.”
But first Cody gives an assessment on his second go around on James Gunn’s Superman. This is some of Tim Sale’s finest most gorgeous artwork. Does Jake hate Kansas and rural America? Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale capture the golden age of superheroes perfectly. A lot of this team’s comics have bitter sweet and open endings, they’re never quite a “happy ending”. Jake drops some his take on Hope. Superman is a CHONKY Boy in this story. There’s very little action this story but only because the story is what drives it and allows the art to shine. Lex Luthor utilizes Super COVID-19 to attack Metropolis. Are there vague whispers of another season of Sopranos September? Cody reveals he’s part Italian and therefore hates himself? Tune in this week to learn more about Superman For All Seasons and stay tuned next week as we reach our milestone 300th episode! And of course you already know, we’ll be discussing 300!
