Thursday Night Thinking #187

Thursday Night Thinking, once again! Take it away, Superman!

You know, I'm actually glad they're doing away with the Lois/Clark marriage. Maybe we'll see more stories like this...

Read This, Too

I know some of you won't necessarily be able to follow my advice from yesterday. Monies are sometimes in short supply these days, and comic books are expensive. So how about this? An excellent free comic.

Some of you may have read Kate Beaton's Hark! A Vagrant before. I may even have mentioned it before. But I can't recall, and since I can't get enough of her work I thought I'd mention it again.

The most recent comic is especially pertinent as it's about the always complicated relationship between Lois Lane and Superman. Despite what anyone might say, Ms. Beaton understands those characters cold. Go check it out.

Lois Lane Cast

The other big news from last week? Amy Adams has been cast as Lois Lane.

Now I'll level with you: I've never seen a movie with Ms. Adams in it. I don't get to see a lot of movies at the best of times and I imagine that a number of her movies came out when I was in Japan. I almost never went to the movies there.

Ms. Adams is clearly a "real" actor, however. She's been nominated for some Oscars as I understand it. Now, that may not really mean anything but it should count for something.

She also doesn't look too young -- a problem I had with Kate Bosworth (among others). In fact, at thirty-six she's actually older than twenty-eight year old Henry Cavill. This also does not bother me. Indeed, I'm of the opinion that Lois Lane should be older than Clark Kent. She's an established reporter by the time Superman shows up.

If things keep trending the way they have been this Superman movie could turn into something great. Here's hoping...

It's Thursday Night Thinking, and that means another crazy cover from the depths of the Silver Age!

They say it's Lois Lane... But it feels like Jean Loring to me!

Thursday Night Thinking #174

Though I can barely find the energy I'm still prepared to bring you... Thursday Night Thinking!

I can't be the only one who finds this cover a little bit creepy...

Thursday Night Thinking #170

Nothing says "insanity" like Silver Age Superman comics! This is Thursday Night Thinking!

Here's the thing: during the Silver Age Lois was a terrible person. But that's okay, because Superman was even worse. I imagine this whole sham marriage to "Clark Kent" is just a twisted trick on the part of Superman to teach Lois a valuable lesson.

Such is the Silver Age.

Thursday Night Thinking #168

Welcome... To Thursday Night Thinking!

There are some who think Lois Lane should get her own comic series. Not a bad idea; she's a compelling character and one of the best in all of comics.

And if they did give us a Lois Lane series I imagine it wouldn't be much like the original...

Okay, everybody. Place your bets as to who "Astounding Man" is. Jimmy Olsen? Lois Lane's kid in the future? Yet another survivor of Krypton? Could be anybody...
