		<description><![CDATA[In one sense, everyone knows Superman&#8217;s origin. At least the sound bite version: &#8220;strange visitor from another planet, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men,&#8221; &#8220;rocketed to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton,&#8221; and so forth.
The thing is, it&#8217;s really hard to build actual stories [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, Barry Allen, the original Silver Age Flash, returned from the dead in the pages of Final Crisis. The &#8220;how&#8221; and &#8220;why&#8221; of it weren&#8217;t really explained. But DC Comics&#8217; editorial poobah Dan DiDio has written that it was his plan since he came to the company to bring Barry back, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been far longer than I intended since my last post. Sometimes time just runs away from you. So let me just toss off a few ideas that have crossed my mind in recent days, and get caught up&#8230;
&#8212;

Wow, that was crap.
Again.
I kind of enjoyed issue #5, enough to be hoping for an upward trend as this story neared the home stretch. Apparently that was too much to hope for, though. (Which perhaps shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise, given the book&#8217;s multifarious agenda to be simultaneously a big [...]]]></description>

With Final Crisis in its home stretch and major goings-on in the Superman and Batman titles, several long-term storylines are up in the air right now, and readers are left wondering whether the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now this is what a really epic-scale super-hero comic book looks like.   
(Yeah, I know it came out two weeks ago, but I&#8217;m running a little behind. There&#8217;s been a lot of politics happening lately. So sue me.)

Says DC&#8217;s Executive Editor Dan DiDio, &#8220;50 seemed like a really nice number to bring this series to a conclusion.&#8221; This oh-so-carefully considered reasoning evidently superseded the fact that writer Jim Shooter was in the middle of [...]]]></description>
