Mini Reviews: My Adventures with Superman Episode 3

My Adventures with Superman Episode 3

Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Logan

My Adventures with Superman S1E3 “My Interview with Superman”: After the two-part series premier, My Adventures with Superman doesn’t skip a beat as Lois continues her quest to get an interview with the elusive Man of Steel while Intergang goes on a rampage. Writer Aman Adumer turns in more vulnerable, growing into the shoes of hero and villain versions of both Superman and Silver Banshee, and the scene where Superman figures out his heat vision is glorious. There’s also more romantic comedy and shonen anime elements in this episode with the shonen rival type intro for Cat Grant, Steve Lombard, and Ronnie Troupe getting a laugh out of me. But the strength of My Adventures with Superman continues to be the chemistry between Clark, Lois, and Jimmy Olsen as they strive to prove themselves in the newsroom and in the big city. Overall, the show is turning into a darn fun coming of age story with some cryptic conspiracy bits that aren’t overwhelming and let each installment breathe. Overall: 8.4


Well, there you have it, folks. The reviews we didn’t quite get a chance to write. See you next week!

Please note that with some of the above comics, Graphic Policy was provided FREE copies for review. Where we purchased the comics, you’ll see an asterisk (*). If you don’t see that, you can infer the comic was a review copy. In cases where we were provided a review copy and we also purchased the comic you’ll see two asterisks (**).

Batman: Caped Crusader moves to Amazon with a two-season order

Previously developed for HBO Max, Batman: Caped Crusader has found a new home at Amazon. The animated series from J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm has been given a two season order.

The show was put on hold by Warner Bros. Discovery in August, about a year after it was ordered straight to series. At that time, they stated it was looking for a new home. After a series of cost cutting, Warner Bros. Discovery has pivoted in recent months selling projects to “rival” streaming services.

Batman: Caped Crusader was said to be a follow up in spirit to the classic 1990s Batman: The Animated Series which Timm worked on. Ed Brubaker was announced Timm’s right hand for the 10-episode first season. It was spotlighted at the 2021 DC Fandome which featured some of the individuals behind it discussing what we can expect.

The series joins other high profile animated series at Amazon including Invincible, The Legend of Vox Machina, and The Boys Presents: Diabolical.
