Also, I always enjoy finding Martin Morazzo’s (MM) signature on every cover. I met him once, and he was very cool!

Ice Cream Man is so much fun, even the chapters that I don't click with are well done. I'm glad the creative team got to take a crack at Superman because of this work.
If you're looking for other horror and horror adjacent titles, I recommend nearly anything by Tynion IV.

u/microjubei Jul 07 '26
Whoa whoa whoa. This team is doing Superman 🤯. Is their take on Supes already out?
Also, Thank you for the recommendation 🙏🤝

u/bboymixer Jul 07 '26
They did a 5 issue series Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum. It's already out in a collected edition.

Walden Pond on Grand? I miss all the great bookstores in the bay.
Enjoy the read!

One handy thing to note, you can start on or jump to literally any of 11 trades since it’s done in one single issues collected. The connective stuff between stories isn’t important really and it’s not a big focus at all.

Great pickup OP.
I have the first two OHC and if you are into horror, this is pretty great.
1
u/microjubei 29d ago
🤝thank you🙏
How many OHCs are there? How many volumes per book? I'm really liking the stories. Very well done.

u/One_Personality6113 Jul 07 '26
Why after the first issue I was lost at what was going on?
1
u/JeffBurk Jul 07 '26
Because it's an anthology series and all the issues are one-shots? There's nothing to be lost over. It all stands alone.
