So when are you starting the review thread? I remember liking Majestic alot more than Supreme as far as Superman analogues go, but to be fair I haven't read much of it. I read the Twelve yesterday... Marvel's answer to JSA it is not. It's also really dark and depressing, but pretty decent none the less. I would definitely read more about the Phantom Reporter and the Golden Age Black Widow (by far the most interesting characters) Rockman ACTUALLY finding an undergound kingdom and maybe have a big war with the Mole people could also be fun. I too like Majestic more than Moore's Supreme. I enjoyed it as well but his run falls into the same trope writing. Majestic had a fun Silver Age Superman feel to it, like moving planets in one issue and then going on a date with a robot the next. Its one of Joe Casey's better written (well, co-written) series. But it's Abnett and Lanning's take on Majestic, when he took over Superman and then into the new reboot of the series is so freaking fantastic.

I've been rewatching all 5 seasons of The Naked City. I loved the Barry Fitzgerald movie, so me watching this has been entertaining. The first season is by far the strongest of the series. Stirling Silliphant, the show creator, wrote a major of the first season. Super tight and well done for a police procedural, from the late 50s/early 60s. Despite the low ratings, it was a critical fame and the sponsors revived the second season, until the end to be an hour long drama. Personally I think that sunk the series, even though it went 4 season of 60 minute dramas. Silliphant lost a little control of his show, but much like Twilight Zone Season 4, going hour long to decompress the story, worked against the show. Its still good because its shot on location. It's really well cast, despite James Franciscus and John McIntyre leaving during and after Season 1, Paul Burke came in and really knocked it out.
