it's honestly kind of FASCINATING how bad married Superman got in the early 2000s, like some of the unaware cruel shit I've seen in comics? ask me about The Ending Battle sometime
like I said, I ended up looking back at the post-Our Worlds At War/pre-Up Up & Away era because I was curious, this was the stuff happening in Superman JUST before I dove into his ongoings and it seemed completely impenetrable as a new reader
now, having read it all...idk I just feel kinda empty & tired? I feel like I did after that Channel Awesome thread, like I saw the end of the world & it didn't mean anything
