COMICS: New Power, New Costume & More Big Reveals From SUPERMAN #38
We already knew that the Man of Steel would be getting a new "Super Flare" power in this week's Superman #38, but some preview pages from the issue also give us our first look at his new duds, and... well, you'll have to click on to see, but be warned of massive SPOILERS!
If you are still planning on picking up a copy of today's Superman #38 by Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr., best to read no further... unless you don't mind spoilers that is! The following preview pages come with some pretty big revelations: First, when Supes uses his new Super Flare his solar cells deplete, meaning that in the 24 hours needed for him to recharge his battery as it were, he will be a normal human being for all intents and purposes. Of course he could just not use the flare, but something tells me we'll be getting a scenario or two in upcoming issues that leave him with no choice. With his original New 52 outfit destroyed by his Super Flare activation, Kal El also debuts a brand new costume; and wears it when he reveals his secret identity to Jimmy Olsen. Wait.. what? Yep.
Of course this isn't the first time Supes has done this (Lois Lane etc), but it's still a pretty big revelation. What do you guys think? let us know in the usual place.
