Here's cool stuff that's been getting me going in the summer heat and humidity: Genius Lessons #15: "Get Psyched Landers" - the last page of Spin is the best. It's away from all those artist profiles ("we're influenced by the Velvet Underground and Big Star..."), fashion pieces (indistinguishable from the ads) featuring clothes reserved for those stupid enough to think the seventies were a golden age of fashion; and the album reviews of those bands you tell your friends you listen to. Sean Landers is an artist/writer whose rambling pieces poke irreverent fun at what seems like ev ...

And the JLA/JSA crossover, set to occur around _JLA_ #45 and #46 and _JSA_ #15 and #16, will bring back Hawkman and iron out the continuity confusion that has been plaguing him for so long. NICIEZA BRINGS THE SUPERMEN OF AMERICA CENTER STAGE Writer Fabian Nicieza, best known for creating Marvel's excellent _New Warriors_ series, is taking another crack at the teenaged superhero. This time it's the Supermen of America in a 6-issue series debuting in January of 2000 and pencilled by Dougie Braithwaite (_Green Arrow_). In a recent interview with Newsarama (http://ano ...

The Neal Adams cover to _Superboy_ #155 (April 1969) shows Superboy very small in the lower right hand corner, while five Superboy robots plunge at him from all angles. Superboy is panicking.

Jurgens most recent installment in the Doomsday saga bears fruit as the newly robotic Brainiac 2.0 does battle with the Man of Steel.

Shortly thereafter, the new creators come on board, and your guess is as good as mine -- nobody's talking... yet.

In _Superman_ #153, Superman faced down six nameless Kryptonian villains from the Zone who have never appeared again anywhere. Mon-El was, of course, rescued from the Phantom Zone, at least temporarily by Saturn Girl in _Adventure Comics_ #300 and permanently by Brainiac 5 in _Adventure_ #305. So why was Superman still trying to come up with a way to free Mon-El when he knew that he would never succeed and Mon-El would be stuck in the Zone for a thousand years? Time travel is soooo confusing. But the real questi ...
