Last week, the boy picked up a couple of Star Wars comics. He read them both and wanted to try something else, so we took him back and he decided he wanted to try the new Superman storyline. That works well since they are only up to issue 8 or so, therefore we don’t have to hunt down hundreds of back issues.
He provided an amusing moment after deciding Superman would be his thing. He wanted “the first Superman.” Presumably, because you start at the beginning. Of course, he had no way of knowing what he was asking for, so I decided to let the clerk at the store bring him up to speed.
She said she’s never even seen the first Superman comic and that it would cost him about $2.3 million. She was very good natured about it all, and then informed him about the newly rebooted story.
Thankfully, it didn’t take any arm twisting to get him to go along with her suggestion.

As long as he’s reading something – that is good … he’ll just have to study long and hard so he can, someday, add the FIRST Superman to his collection !
You can always go ‘ComicCon’ – when they have the East Coast session … 🙂
