It's Pleasant!Superman Confidential

Superman Confidential #5
DC Comics, Cover dated June 2007
Written by Darwyn Cooke and Art by Tim Sales
Cover price $2.99

Darwyn Cooke's pleasant romance between Lois and Supes continues with plenty of room for the wide open panel art Tim Sales fills in with his pleasant artwork. Perhaps the problem with this series is that it is too pleasant and all of the "thrills" are of a minor sort: Supes keeps a "Clark Kent Robot" on hand to fool people; the bad guy Gallo is being possessed by a hunk of green Kryptonian rock which dreams of Buddhists (who are pleasant!); and Lex Luthor is a scowling villain who pleasantly stays out of the the way of the story. Ma and Pa Kent give and get hugs, and Superman has that goofy "my angst is only an inch deep and possibly only a cover for confusion" look on his face...

Why burn something no one will read?
On the continuing decline of books:

"I'd like to think that this is a romantic return to youth, but it looks like a bad case of cultural infantilism. And when we're not horning in on our kids' favorite books, most of us aren't reading anything at all. More than half the adults in this country won't pick up a novel this year, according to the National Endowment for the Arts. Not one. And the rate of decline has almost tripled in the past decade."

From Harry Potter and the Death of Reading, By Ron Charles, The Washington Post, Sunday, July 15, 2007; Page B01

It is curious that population of the United States keeps growing, and simultaneously movie theatre attendance, book readers, comic book readers, newspaper readers keeps declining.
