Much like Madman (who is also introduced in this issue), the comic expects you to have read the twice canceled series before reading this series (despite claiming that no one has read the series). This is perhaps best demonstrated in issue 3 where Cates spends an entire page bemoaning the failure of his previous venture into indie superhero comics, The Paybacks.

It’s MadmanĬomic Book Herald is reader-supported. However, none of that amounts to much since it turns out the man in the picture isn’t Superman. And, being me, I would have no doubt called the article “ Doc Shaner Has Killed Before And He Will Kill Again.” From there, I could explore the relative differences in approaches between Donny Cates and one of his blatant influences, Mark Millar, and how they approached “superheroes in the real world” significantly differently.
#REVIEWS OF CROSSOVER BOOK MOVIE#
How the usage of the undefined term “hope” has been used to an insidious effect in the years to justify things as small as the conservatizing of Superman – who talks about how we should be valorizing soldiers instead of movie stars, or who secretly locks people up into a gulag without trial – to larger, more horrifying implications such as the Obama administration’s usage of drone strikes. Now, without the context of the following six issues, I could write an extensive essay about the vast implications of that image. Now that the first volume of Crossover has reached its end, I think it’s time I shared with you the final page of that first page. I laughed and laughed at every single element of it, because it was just… W O W. A page that invoked such a great amount of cosmic dread in me, I couldn’t help but laugh like a maniacal lunatic at the sheer scope of its wrongness. So the last time I talked about Crossover for the site, I ended things with a cliffhanger about the fascinatingly horrifying final page.
