@TheMadPirate He saw how shit was here and fucked off somewhere into space. Dude's already lost one planet, it be cruel to make him watch another self-destruct.

@Surasanji Hahaha, I bet he did.
Although, I think that if Superman's ship had ever crashed Earth, he would have become the "Brightburn" kid.

@TheMadPirate There are a whole bunch of comics with 'What IF' superman's ship landed elsewhere.

Red Son is a great one for SOVIET SUPERMAN!

@TheMadPirate I am a giant nerd and there is not one part of that I do not love.

@TheMadPirate Red Son ends with the Predestination Paradox. They send Kal-L back into time to save the kid, but Earth was Krypton all along! OoOH

@TheMadPirate My favorite though, of all time, is not Superman. It's Shade the Changing Man. The Peter Milligan one.

@Surasanji I HATE PETER MILLIGAN!!!!!
I HATE HIS WORK!!!
MOTHERFUCKER RUINED JOHN CONSTANTINE!!!!!
AND THAT PIPHANY !!!!!!
BLUE HAIRED FEMINAZI....AWFUL CHARACTER...AWFUL

@TheMadPirate That's okay. We don't have to agree on that. :)

@TheMadPirate I still love Shade the Changing Man.

@TheMadPirate Yeah, dude is powered by Madness, so it only makes sense he'd be completely batshit wacko.

@Surasanji And I have nothing against the character, Shade. I just really dislike Peter Milligan ( though Simon Bosley art is exquisite ). He is along Greg Rucka and Kurt Busiek in my personal dislike podium.

@TheMadPirate Yeah, that's fair. There are a lot of things like that. You don't got to like the same stuff I like for us to have a discussion on a topic we overall both like. I mean, I disagree, but this is personal preference we're talking about. No harm, no foul! :)
