Isn't this part of this edgy relevance that comic books have been aspiring to since Marvel's civil war.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

He's jewish

Doubt it.  He can't be circumsized.   :contract:

He would have been circumcised on Krypton, where he wasn't so Super.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I think that this is an interesting move for the authors to make, but wonder if it won't harm their sales in the long run (Superman fans being devoted to tradition, I would think).  It could be just a temporary thing designed to spark controversy and sales, as well.

Yeah, I think it's working exactly as planned, just like when they killed him ~20 years ago.  In a few issues they'll probably give him back his citizenship & plan for the next controversy. 

Not that I give a rat's ass.  I haven't read a comic book since elementary school.

Will he say states' rights?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Confederate Superman would kick ASS.  Stars and bars on his chest instead of the gay 'S'... when he flies through the air "The Bonnie Blue Flag" plays as his leitmotif... ok I'm hard now. :blush:

Better yet-- a KFC logo on his chest.

Of course not.  He's an educated man.  He'll discusses state super powers.

Why does superman have powers in Earth but not in Krypton?
It doesn't make any sense.

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
