I'd buy an issue here and there sporadically before then, but 06/07 was when I started collecting for real and paying attention to the different universes and what not. I actually haven't read a Superman comic until recently. I think my first exposure was Action Comics from the beginning of the New 52, then I tried again with Superman Rebirth and have been loving him, although I find his trades before Flashpoint a little confusing so I don't know too much about his history.Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178727978311013660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-87036722781314092652016-09-12T12:02:00.881-05:002016-09-12T12:02:00.881-05:00Follow up: Can I ask when you started reading comi...Follow up: Can I ask when you started reading comics? Just curious how that coincides or not with the "Triangle Titles."collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-61822945079492874402016-09-12T12:00:51.573-05:002016-09-12T12:00:51.573-05:00The "Triangle Titles" era of Superman ro...The "Triangle Titles" era of Superman roughly refers to the period from the end of John Byrne's run to the beginning of Jeph Loeb's (or, put another way, the Dan Jurgens/Jerry Ordway/Roger Stern/Karl Kesel/Louise Simonson period), in which the three/four/five Superman titles were interconnected and read like a weekly series. <br /><br />To help readers know the order to read them, the issue covers had a triangle with a number on them (supposed, I believe, to be a Superman shield, but ended up a triangle); as such this era with the numbered triangles is known as the "Triangle Title" era. The first "triangle title" was Superman #51. Stories in this era include "Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite" (not numbered), "Panic in the Sky," of course "Death of Superman," and into things like "Trial of Superman" and "Death of Clark Kent," the wedding, and so on.<br /><br />The heyday of Superman in mine and others' opinions, and also, in reference to the review above, a time when the Superman books told good stories using a broad and consistent supporting cast and when the stories weren't padded more than they needed to be to tell the tale.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-71048806185205869552016-09-12T11:49:27.743-05:002016-09-12T11:49:27.743-05:00I've been hearing the Triangle era of Superman...I've been hearing the Triangle era of Superman a lot recently, but have no idea what that means.Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178727978311013660noreply@blogger.com
