ultimatejezebel, that got to be the weirdest cover that I ever seen in my life and the most bizarre one indeed. I just can't believe Marvel Comics published this! ... I'm totally lost for words trying to describe it! I bet you'll be getting a copy now  |

I have a question about Whatever happened to the Man of Tomorrow?
I reread it a few days ago and noticed that when Supergirl comes back from a future visit with the Legion Of Superheroes she asks Superman where she is currently. I gather that the Crisis already happened and she is dead. But I thought after the Crisis they rebooted Superman immediately. Why did DC still have a pre-Crisis story AFTER the Crisis?

It's an imaginary tale. But then...aren't they all. |

Like Slam said, the whole story is "what if?" ending to Superman's career. It's set in neither pre nor post-Crisis continuity so Moore could pretty much do anything and allude to whatever he wanted to. |

Alan Moore's story was the last Superman tale published before Byrne took over and started from scratch. DC really didn't plan or execute anything "post-Crisis" very well, but in the last 6 months of pre-Byrne Superman continuity, people still remembered the Crisis, and Supergirl was among the heroes who had died because of it. Once Byrne took over, there had still been a Crisis, but no Supergirl...until JB declared otherwise. Honestly, the "journey" of COIE was fun, but the "destination" was a mess. |

Ok, so I just read Detective Comics #468, Batman vs the Calculator. I don'T know a lot about Batman. My question : How does he gets to that Satellite to meet with the justice league? Does he have a plane/Spaceship?
Bonus question : what is exactly the calculator, not sure I understand his power.... He makes me think a bit of Inspector Gadget.

The JLA had a teleporter in the satellite.

The JLA had a teleporter in the satellite. Based on Thanagarian technology, the transporter/teleporter tubes were located in major cities around the U.S. The one in Metropolis was mentioned the most, although it was rarely mentioned in the Superman titles, and there didn't seem to be any consensus about where it was located. Some writers of other books apparently thought that the system worked like the teleporters on Star Trek, and would show heroes vanishing into thin air, with no tubes in sight. Sometimes, characters looked like they were ascending or descending in a column of light. Only JLA members could use the tubes, unless one of them specially programmed the computers to let guests use them. There's a Robin story in the late '70s, where he's shown visiting the satellite and teleporting as though he had 'member privilege'. |

I just read World's Finest #181. After about 8 pages of story (there was ads between them), it says "The story continues in the second part. Then there's an ad an a page later, there's a title saying 'The Hunter and the Hunted, Part II".
It's not the first time I see this, is there a reason why the stories say "Part I, II, sometime III in the same for just one story? Are they reprints, and the stories were not in the same book before?
Or maybe there's just no reason, a writer's decision to split the story in chapters.
I'm not sure my question is super clear, sorry about, my English is limited!

a writer's decision to split the story in chapters. That's the answer |

I always thought Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow was what would have been the ultimate fate of the Earth One Superman if the Crisis hadn't happened. |

Can anyone tell me about Ken Selig? He's a comic creator. I thought one of the Archie experts would answer this. He's an artist that Drew various Archie mags. He lives on my route and gets many Archie books sent to him. |
