Comic book stores are where you the get to buy comics. Without comic stores we would never have had the chance to buy comics that have rocked our world since we are kids. Though the technology age is here now you can get comics online and find that the stores have also integrated into online stores and are now pulling in more clientele than they did before.
The good thing about real stores was that you could go to look for a comic book and get someone to explain to you right away a short skit on how the superhero did something in the previous comic book that led to the new one coming out. You would also get the store clerk to hold a comic book for you for a while until you where able to pay and also call you to tell you when you could rush over when a new release had hit the stores. I sometimes would get into the store and ask the clerk who was a pal of mine to let me go through a comic before I decided if I wanted to take it. Online stores however don’t really have that homely feeling but they still work and you get to know more information on where the writer is trying to go with the comic series.
Some of the comics I loved where really in high demand and are still are, such as superheroes like Spiderman, Batman, Superman, The Avengers, X-Men, The Incredible Hulk and many more that still pick my interest. Comic book stores are still there even today only fewer; however they are still doing well even though they have competition from the online kind of Comic Book Stores.
As far as movies go, Superman Returns was not one of the best. Not only did it receive so-so reviews from the critics, but it panned at the box office – barely able to make back its budget, especially after Warner Bros. dropped a mountain of marketing the box office gross couldn’t hope the overtake. But though the movie may not have given Superman a second franchise, it did him something rather interesting: a son.
The story ran in the pages of the Superman: Last Son story arc, written by fan-favorite comic writer Geoff Johns along with a special guest – Richard Donner, director of the first Superman film. In the storyline, Superman finds he’s no longer the Last Son of Krypton, though unlike the movie Superman Returns – where Superman is ultimately revealed to have a child as a result his tryst with Lois Lane in Superman 2 – this child is in fact revealed to be the son of Superman 2 baddies General Zod and Ursula.
Dubbed Chris Kent by Superman’s good friend in Gotham, the boy was briefly raised by Clark and Lois in a relatively normal life, although as you might expect from any superhero arc, the tranquility last long. Soon, his biological father Zod re-emerged with the other Phantom Zone prisoners and invaded Earth. Though Superman repelled the invasion – with the unlikely aid of his adversary Lex Luthor, and his team the Superman Revenge Squad – Chris himself returned to the Phantom Zone in order to close it to prevent further reprisals from his father.
So in end Superman’s adopted son went back home – but its unknown just how long his son will be gone. Superman isn’t the only hero with parenting problem – Batman recently discovered he had a biological son by the name of Damian Wayne with Talia al Ghul, herself the daughter of Batman Begins baddie Ra’s al Ghul. Though misguided and downright deceitful at times (the result of his upbringing), Damian genuinely wants to help his father as the Dark Knight, and one comic – Batman #666, set in the far, far future – maintains that he will eventually be the Dark Knight himself. Will Chris Kent ever take over his adopted father’s mantle? We’ll have to stay glued to Supes to find out.
