If you haven’t called your father yet, here’s your reminder.

My Dad always said that his favorite comic as a kid was Superboy. This one came out when he was nine, so he may well have read it. I can’t call and ask him, because he passed away in 2004. And that’s why you should make sure and call yours today.

(Unless he’s an asshole. I know some people’s dads are assholes, and I don’t want to add to the cultural pressure on those people to hold on to toxic relationships with bad fathers. But if he’s one of the good ones, definitely call him.)

LOOK IN THE BARN !! LOOK IN THE BARN !! [ I said the same thing about The Walking Dead ] SO, its 1986 and I’m reading the then new mini series THE MAN OF STEEL. All is well in the world, and I still have most of my hair. THEN … about 2 months later … a friend of mine, Eddie [yes, I had a friend] asked me, “Hey handsome, [as they called me ^_^] who was that standing in the barn when Superman flew away from the farm?” WTF??? Suddenly it was so clear. SOMEONE was watching from the barn! Maybe even holding a camera. Now … I have posted this theory on almost every page I could. I have even built a model of this theory out of mashed potatoes. NO ONE will listen to me. I have heard it all … it’s a cow … it’s a horse … it’s a monkey riding a lama while doing his taxes. IF THIS SCENE SHOWS UP IN THE MOVIE … I will stand up in the theater and loudly proclaim … I AM THE GREATEST IN ALL THE LAND !!!! Well, in reality, Eddie would be the greatest in all the land. Then I will stand and loudly proclaim … I KNOW EDDIE !!!!! I welcome all of you to stand up and proclaim … I know a guy who knows Eddie!!!

I wonder if it was a Manhunter? Byrne established during Milennium that Smallville was infested by Manhunter robots, one of those things that got conveniently forgotten later on.

It was the scientist who built Metallo. In a later Man of Steel issue, Clark finds that the rocket which had been hidden in the barn is missing. Then in the first few issues of Byrne’s regular Superman run, it’s revealed that this scientist somehow found out about Clark being an alien, found the rocket, stole it, and used the Kryptonite that was stuck to it to power Metallo. So that’s who that is.

I’d love to answer a question or two, if anybody has one.

Speaking of my favorite X-Men! I have, let’s say, concerns with how well this Days of Future Past movie can possibly work, with a cast that seems really bloated and its attempt to explicitly link the not-very-compatible timelines of the previous movies.

But I have to admit, a furry blue non-feline, non-Frasier Hank McCoy in 70’s clothes might be everything I’ve ever wanted from an X-Men movie. So I have to give it a chance.
