Comic Pages Of The Day - Superman And Captain Marvel




 
 






 
This is a bigger deal than some of you might think, because Superman is one of the heroes in the DC Universe who keeps his secret identity pretty damn secret, because as probably the most powerful and influential person on earth, a lot of people do not wish him well - and would jump at the chance to hold people dear to him as leverage.

Yet, he trusts this poor, scared little kid. To comfort him, and entrust him with his biggest secret - just as Billy did for him.

Superman is just really important, ok?

Fantastic. Wonderful.

I've always held Capt. Marvel in low regard. It never would have occurred to me in a hundred years that someone would explore this angle of the premise even though it's right there, staring us all in the face.

I like how these two legal rivals sorty buried the hatchet with this scene. I love the idea of this mentorship. Kinda an anti Batman and Robin.

And the two characters here are so fundamentally changed in the New 52 as to be completely unrecognizable and something as heroic and heartfelt as this story could never happen in it now (as is).

Just more evidence as to why I was right to give up on DC.

I believe in their animated division which keeps putting out great product...and then screws the pooch with their TV stuff. Beware the Batman was better than it should have been and given more of a chance.

I remember this story well. Its a shame they haven't found a way to keep Captain Marvel going.
