  10. Is this meant to be ironic? Not-Superman after not helping humanity, kills humanity for the stuff he was doing? Why is Not-Superman such a dick?

    He explicitly says he has not right to decide who lives or dies but then takes it upon himself to kill everyone. Like stick to an ideology Not-Superman.

    1. Looks like he decided humanity should not decide who lives or dies on the planet humans are planning to invade.

    2. He had been among humans for hundreds of years but, instead of watch them evolve, become better, Superman saw earthers became even worse. They had changed into a virus that had already consumed Earth and was about to spread to other planets. I don't think that destroy Earth was the answer, and I know the Superman he had been hundreds of of years before wouldn't forgive him, but I understand his decision.

  28. Excelente, solo una pequeña observacion, en la pagina 4 en lugar de decir "more enough for everybody", debe de decir "more than enough for everybody"

    Saludos y sigan asi!

    ResponderEliminar

  29. Fantastic artwork, but I can't say the same about the story. On the one hand, it feels like a more nihilistic take on a theme already explored by 'Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow'. Plus, it's pretty ironic that Superman here is so happy that there's no competition among the primitive alien animals he's found. No competition? Whether they're supposed to be sentient or not, competition is the way of all life. nature, red in tooth and claw, green in root and vine. For that matter, he says humanity is supposed to evolve. How does he think evolution works, anyway? And, of course, it's the height of hypocrisy for Superman to say he can't decide who lives and dies, and then destroy an entire planet. I guess every single person on Earth was all for invading another planet? Not a single dissenter? Hey, there's that cooperation he felt humanity needed, finally!

    Anyway, it's still great to see another interpretation of such an iconic character, and I genuinely look forward to seeing what comes next.

  31. Increíble, me encantó! Excelente trabajo! :D

  32. Alan Moore Superman! :) great comic guys! :)

    ResponderEliminar

  33. Amazing work with fantastic story! Short and sweet.

    ResponderEliminar

  34. Superman doesn't really seem to understand evolution. Evolution requires competition. So even his precious primitive alien animals have competition in them. Otherwise they wouldn't exist. But I liked the comic, I hope to see more in the future.

    ResponderEliminar

  35. LOVED IT. Much more than "The Deal" despite bats being my most fav fictional character. Next Wonder Woman I guess to complete the triangle? :)
    And please keep up the excellent work! Want more :D

    ResponderEliminar

  36. I'm assuming Superman is symbolic of the Christian God who loved humanity, grew to hate, and wrought the apocalypse upon it. Interesting.

    1. It seems like Superman is the Anti-god. Like the Christian god in reverse. His story starts very Jesus like. Then you see him a a more powerful god like being that seems to have a disdain against humanity and eventually he destroys it.

      Eliminar

    2. No it is not like the Christian God in reverse, it is exactly what the biblical God did do. He looked at humanity and didn't like where they were going so killed them all in 'the great flood'. He massacres the entire planet except for one family and some animals, this story is very similar.

      Eliminar

  37. I think its funny superman presents a very moral outlook on life but it is seemingly devoid of a deity. It doesnt make sense really.

    Void of God it is the strong that determine what is right and wrong. Its darwinian survival of the fittest. Its science. Why he gets so upset about the poor getting shafted and innocent species getting wiped out really makes no logical sense

    ResponderEliminar
    Respuestas

    1. I disagree. Morality is the way you decide to behave around other people and you can be an empathic and caring person while being an atheist. In fact, this same kind of simplistic approach to morality can be used the other way around: one could say that having a God to forgive you for what wrongs you may have done takes away the responsiblity of being a moral person on your everyday life.

  38. Oh man!! I love your work! It will be great if you do a version in Spanish and French so that more people can read them without problems.

    ResponderEliminar

  39. sorprendente!!!! me encanto. Creo que era logico, superman tenia que evolucionar para ser el protector del universo y no solo del planeta tierra.

    ResponderEliminar

  40. Great work again. Love the way you are able to again give people a new viewpoint on life. Keep up the good work.

  42. Holy hell !!!!!! Perfecto !!! Thank you guys so much !

    Aquaman next !!!! AQUAMAN !!!!!!!

  44. You have make me love one of the characters I hate the most, in just 6 pages...
    Incredible. Terrific. Awesome.
    Every one of those superlative words we try to use when we are speechless. Take them.
    And please, just keep doing this.

    ResponderEliminar

  46. Really awesome work. Beautiful and inspiring I think. There's a lot of meaning behind that and it's gracefully introduce in this comics. Great job! It was my great discover of the day! :D

    ResponderEliminar

  47. Yeah. I think I like this. I think so.

    ResponderEliminar

  49. This comic makes some awfully immature and inaccurate assumptions about... well, everything. The message it sends is utterly rubbish.

    ResponderEliminar

  50. Exageradamente bueno, gran conflicto moral. Superman despues de la muerta de lois lane libera sus poderes aun mas porque psicologicamente se inhibia para no lastimarla.
    Interesante: superman vs los humanos a los que ha salvado siempre. Superman defendiendo un planeta virgen de las garras de los humanos. Superman un ecologista radical.
    Deberian de tomar algunos conceptos para las nuevas peliculas de superman. Lo unico que no me gusto fue el final. Superman nunca mataria a miles de millones. Menos cuando
    esa decision abarcaria a inocentes. Creo que mas bien habria combatido las naves invasoras. Como sea, un gran comic. Me encanto!

    ResponderEliminar

  51. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better then the Batman one. Still, it explores themes that have been explored by names such as Alan Moore and Grant Morrison, and it suffers considerably by comparison.

    ResponderEliminar

  52. The concepts of these comics both Bats and Supes are disastrous, they fail to understand the characters at all.

    ResponderEliminar

  54. great art, but you don't understand superman at all

    ResponderEliminar

  55. I really liked this take on Superman: it's thought provoking and a logical progression of the current take on the Superman character as depicted in the Man Of Steel movie. It's disturbing that a fictional character now has to become a religious icon, and I wonder what it really says about our society?

    ResponderEliminar

  56. Excelente historia!!! sigan con este gran trabajo!

    ResponderEliminar

  57. Increible, el dibujo excelente, la historia, estupenda. Muchas felicidades por este gran trabajo.

  59. La historia, la ilustración... Felicitaciones a ambos, es excelente!!

  61. Muy buena historia.
    Un argumento muy simple pero, al mismo tiempo, tan profundo que deja mucho en lo que pensar.

  62. La historia es excelente, es exactamente lo que buscas encontrar cuando lees historias de superhéroes, tanto los pensamientos, como las acciones del superhéroe van de acuerdo con el entorno en el que está viviendo. Sin duda tiene todos mis respetos.

    ResponderEliminar

  63. Para mí es Alan Moore con los poderes y con el traje de Superman.

    ResponderEliminar

  64. Por cierto gracias, excelente comic, ojalá hagan uno de la Mujer Maravilla.

    ResponderEliminar

  66. The art is quite good and very well done. As for the story, it's sad that the authors have such a bleak outlook on humanity and that Superman ends up being just as uncaring and shallow as the humans he passes judgement on.

    1. It is the same story as in the Bible, God looks, decides the people he used to love aren't worth saving and kills them all.

  67. Found the link to this on Sisky's page. Love it! Some might say it's a satire or too cyncial. I believe it strikes the right balance, and feels like the type of situation Superman might actually have to deal with some day. Awesome stuff. Love it!

    ResponderEliminar

  68. Excelente, fue un final inevitable.

    ResponderEliminar

  69. I like it. The artwork is excellent; the story is very deep. I bet it's based on true life. I hope to see more of your work.

    ResponderEliminar

  70. I loved it, although I would have liked to see him defend the planet they are about to invade rather than destroy the whole earth and its inhabitants, which must still be many innocent people, but this seems to be a superman who has completely lost faith in humanity, justifying his action, although not very superman. Excellent work, I really liked it.

  72. Hey guys, great comic, congratulations. Please make a comic of El Chapulín Colorado. I'm from Brazil, so sorry for my english! Thanks.

    ResponderEliminar

  73. Have you guy's read "Lex Luthor: Man of Steel"? It's a TPB collection (5-6 issues) that explores concepts similar to what you're using here, but on the humans' side. Lex talks about what if Superman (like your godly hero) one day decides that he doesn't want to help anymore? Why should we need his help anyway? Shouldn't he be evolving ourselves and fixing our own problems instead of being pampered by him? What if he one day (again, like your hero) decides we aren't worth saving anymore? What if he decides that it would actually be better to end our existance? And why do we empower such beings?

    If you haven't, you should definitely give it a try.

    ResponderEliminar

  74. Great stuff. A simple, great story, but what really knocks it out of the park is that art. I can tell the writer will do some really good comics, but artist has the potential to do some of the best work in the industry. Keep it up.

    ResponderEliminar

  75. I will give you one silly idea for an alternative end of this great comic. Add a little pod ship flying away in space from earth with a little baby inside. Like the story is repeating itself one more time. Great work!

  84. Hi Gerardo and Daniel,
    I don´t think i ever read such a fantastic fan fic like this.

    I hope you like the translation i did to Portuguese on my blog - http://trancemanltda.blogspot.com.br/2014/05/um-conto-do-superman-o-deus-e-o-fim.html#more
    All credits kept and your blog is linked. Please let me know if you agree to let me post other translations from your stories.

    Great job you are doing here!!

    ResponderEliminar

  85. Good art and storytelling. Great way to 'hide' Superman's symbol. Interesting story, yet a little naive. Anyone who has ever had a garden or been in nature can really see that even plants compete for resources, and prefer themselves over other plants. Animals are the same way. The concept of 'balance' in nature is something to be stirving for, not something naturally occuring. Humans occured naturally, and due to our own greed we have compromised the planet. Also, even 'primitive' creatures grieve for loss, anyone who has had pets or been in a farm is aware of that. So, conceptually there are some problems with the story's plot. Furthermore, the idea that Superman would fail to find a solution for a problem fails to really understand the character. While your previous Batman story (borrowing material from Bill Hicks) was one of awakening for the character to see beyond his perceived reality, this is Superman surrendering and giving up. His worst nightmare. Maybe borrow from another comedian, or a religious persona for the appropriate reference. A better story would be for him to build a ship for his own child to go to a new world to continue the cycle as Earth dies. Or Superman himself being the reason for Krypton to die. Also, for my own enjoyment this got in the way, there were many grammatical errors that could have been avoided by a simple spelling scan. All in all a good effort. But Superman's roots are in mythology and religion, maybe have his end be a sacrifice rather than genocide. Maybe releasing all his new power energy to 'heal' the planet. Or to shame humanity into being better. I don't know... Keep working. Wonder Woman should be next. That will be a true test. ALL IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!
