You know who's more super than Superman? Our guest artist, Dadicus. He continues to dazzle us with this work. To see more of it, check out his deviantArt page.

And a word on Superman's super citizenship fiasco--he renounced his citizenship, if you haven't heard. I don't really care. Not because I'm not a patriot, but because I am. Because being a patriot means tolerating people with different views, even when those views are designed solely to boost sales and get in the news. Some people are treating this like it's a national security issue, as if the actions of a fictional character are going to undermine our whole society and mean the terrorists have won. Whatever.

Now, if Spider-Man renounced his citizenship (or unmasked himself in front of everyone), then I'd be pissed off (and was).

Tootles.

Superman Man of Steel Annual 1, Zero Hour cross over. As Superman runs for the Presidency, he is found to be a fully legalized American citizen, as his "birth" was from the craft as he emerged in Kansas.

In reply: The best jokes are ones that play on reality and canon, not what you hope it is. Weak.

Parker's a photographer, not a journalist. He should leave this kind of stuff to the real reporters... like that Kent fellow, where ever he is....

I don't have any real interest in arguing over continuity. There are dozens of origin stories for Superman. The last I heard, his "definitive" beginnings were in "Superman: Secret Origins." There he's not hatched from a birthing matrix but arrives on earth as a child. Oh yeah, and I know Parker's not a reporter. He also doesn't generally walk around in a Spider-man T-shirt. Maybe that's not Peter Parker or maybe it's just a comic strip that's not meant to be taken quite so seriously.
