Bizarro Am Not Getting Own Miniseries

Bizarro: Year None #1 main cover art by Nick Pitarra

Pop culture icon Kevin Smith - with the aid of Supergirl scribe Eric Carrasco - is bringing the an origin story of one of Superman's strangest and most persistent foes to life in the four-issue miniseries Bizarro: Year None.

Appropriately launching on April 1, the series...

"...follows Superman’s pal Jimmy Olsen and Clark Kent’s boss Perry White as they depart the Daily Planet for a strange adventure in outer space. 
"Their journey leads them to a dimension that mirrors Metropolis in uncanny ways and reveres its legendary newspaper as an article of faith.
"As they unravel the mystery of this bizarre world, they confront the being behind it all. Is he a misguided Superman fan, an agent of pure chaos, or is he no one at all?

"Smith and Carrasco bring a blend of humour, heart, and high-concept storytelling to a character whose contradictions have made him a fan-favourite for decades.
"Nick Pitarra’s bold, hyper-detailed artwork grounds the series’ surreal tone, giving readers a version of Bizarro’s world that feels both familiar and unsettling."

Thought Bubbles, Silver Age Easter Eggs, and A Super-Bunny - This Fun New Supergirl Comic Has It All!


I had every intention of reviewing the latest Supergirl #1 - part of DC's Summer of Superman initiative - but Sasha of Casually Comics got there first and has done a far better job than I ever could have.

In the absence of "editor's notes", I'm always impressed by Sasha's ability to spot Easter Eggs, especially those that are deep dives into the Silver and Bronze Age.

And Supergirl #1 appears to be full of these.
