As I said today we're taking a look at Supergirl in action comics number 685 from January of 1993 funeral for a friend number two. So this is technically the third part of the funeral for a friend series however the Justice League comic wasn't actually numbered as a funeral for a friend just a funeral for a friend tie-in considering it took place at the exact same time as funeral for a friend part one. Not bad I just got this in the mail a few days ago and it's really not all that bad I'm a little bit aware on the binding but overall not a bad deal so let's go ahead and open it up. This is by Roger Stern Jackson Geith and Dennis Rodier. As you can see this here pretty much tells the events of what happened in funeral for a friend part one and we open with the director of Cadmus pretty much confiscating the bodies of Superman and doomsday or attempting to anyway. However a lot of people guardian included who actually works for Cadmus aren't really fond of that idea they believe that Superman deserves a chance to rest in peace without prodding and poking and all that you know he's an American treasure a national treasure he's an American hero a hero of the world really and Supergirl comes in and pretty much stops him Lex Luthor Jr aka Lex Luthor in the mind of uh in the it's Lex Luthor's mind in the body of a clone manages to get a cease and desist order done because you know as was stated previously he may not have been able to kill Superman himself but by god he's sure gonna bury him and all the while Lois is just grieving she doesn't really know how to deal she can't share it with anyone except Monpo Kent and Lana Ling and Supergirl because those are the only ones who actually know Superman's true identity uh Supergirl has not shared that information with Lex though. Lex he gets so infuriated by doomsday because killing Superman was his supposed to be his job he breaks a chair right over doomsday's head then we come to one of the prisons and all the criminals are just saying you know it's true Superman is dead blah blah blah parasite is in mourning because he'll never be able to uh absorb Superman's powers again um we get criminals who think it's going to be an easy payday now let me raise this up a bit sorry guys criminals who think it's going to be an easy payday now that there's no Superman in Metropolis but they didn't remember about Supergirl so she stepped up to the plate stop to try and stop all the criminals but she's nowhere near as fast or as powerful as Superman she you have to remember this version of Supergirl is just a uh an alien who can uh an alien shape shifter uh who also has the power of super strength flight and vulnerability uh as well as I believe some telepathy and telekinesis uh but I could be wrong by the way if you guys hear stuff in the background I apologize it's a nice day it's in the lower sixties right now I've got the windows open here in Illinois central Illinois where I'm at uh we had winter all the way up until uh just last week really so I'm really enjoying being able to have the windows open for change uh anyway we come across Bibbo here who you know he was Superman's pal he calls Superman his favorite you know he decides to close up his bar and call it a night even though guys are wanting to buy him drink and everything but he's just so depressed with the death of Superman he just he he doesn't want any company right now he doesn't want to stay open right now he just sends everyone on their way and that's it now something we don't really get much of anymore in comics are these bullpens letters from fans to the editor to the writers you know I kind of wish I kind of wish they'd do that again but you know we're in the day and age now where if fans want to say something to the editor they can just tweet them or send them a facebook message or a comment or whatever an email so there's really no need for this anymore which really kind of sucks but with that being said um this was an okay issue just okay not really a whole lot happened um I read it I read the digital copy I purchased as I said before I when comicsology was doing their Superman sale graphic novels for 599 I bought the entire series funeral for a friend uh reign of the Superman return of Superman and death of Superman so that I can keep these as collectibles and try not to handle them too much this is the first time I've handled this one and eventually once I'm done going over all of these uh I have a plan on bringing to you a rereading of them in similar to what comics Dorian does however one thing I've noticed rereading these and the reign of the Superman a lot of the stories take place at the same time so what am I what I plan to do is weave the stories together so that I'm not going back and forth back and forth uh I'm gonna weave them all together in a way that makes sense for everyone uh hopefully uh so that's my plans as of right now and that's going to take place probably this coming December once I uh once my mowing season is over with because as you guys know I own a lawn care business so I'm pretty busy and this is pretty much all I can do right now um because I just don't have the extra time to spend on editing multiple videos each week I when in the off season I try to do daily uploads uh I still want to keep with that but I think uh this funeral for a friend uh reign of the Superman and the return of Superman are all going to uh take place once a week I know I said in previous episodes that I was going to try and do and do them every single day I don't think I'll be able to do that because at this time I still have to get uh issues four five six and eight of funeral for a friend plus there's a few issues individual issues of the reign of the Superman that I currently don't have as well so I'm going to have to order those gradually too uh so we'll do funeral for a friend one each week until we get over it and that should get also give me enough time to collect uh all the reign of the Superman issues as well uh once we're finished with reign of the Superman I plan on going into Emerald Twilight so with that being said I'm Shannon for Come Again TV the only place on YouTube where all geek culture collides I hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you did hit that subscribe button in the notification bell so you don't miss out on future videos take care my friends
