Now I am not a big comic buff but I think that Superman attaching himself to Jeff Gordon just sounds silly. It'd be like if a T-1000 joined up with an organization helping the homeless. It just sounds like something from a bad fanfiction.
But the comic I am talking about is real. It is called Superman & Jeff Gordon First Issue: The Race is On! I am forgoing my usual review style since I am probably going to miss about a million things.
What is the comic about? Jeff Gordon has refused to be sponsored by by Lex Luthor. Luthor gets so pissed off at Gordon that he sends Metallo to beat Gordon in a race. You hear that sound? That's your sanity dying. Hope you didn't need that.
For those that don't know who Metallo is, the comic explains him as one of Superman's most feared enemies. Why is Luthor doing this? Why, Superman has to fight someone in the comic.
Something you might be wondering is why the comic was made. At the end of the comic Gordon shows Superman/Clark Kent his new car. Well, for those that don't know about racing, sometimes drivers will have their cars painted in a different way than normal. In this comic's case: showing a Superman Returns logo.
This raises any interesting point: If the Superman movies exist in this timeline, why doesn't Jeff Gordon (or anyone else) realize that Clark Kent is Superman.
Of course you can tell me to be quiet about that point. The reason being: Was anyone expecting this comic to make sense?
