A comic that's closely to our time!

Hello All,                                                                                                                                                         To say since  the one who  is writing this very review of the very book seen here 


, by my Spider pal is wanting to push forwardly my thoughts on why we as people NEED TO BE HELPING the ones we know as our close friends and family that being judged for any reason of anything negative in any way right now is very wrong no matter that as of right now the whole planet is crazy about something  that is completely unknowable of a very interesting yet strange virus. That seems to be affecting each one of us very differently than when it first came to be known as what it is Covid-19.  But I am only saying that this very comic's content is just as important to not be a complete unknowable thing about being judged on whom we are on our nationally or our skin color, which in and of itself seems to happen quite a lot.                                                                       The comic that I am going to be reviewing today is as you saw above SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN deals immensely with the first created superhero that stands for American driving hope of helping others. This very comic story is written by Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru did the art and cover that I have. Gurihiru are y women from Japan     named Chifuyu Saskai and Naoko Kawano who do art for American mainstream publishers Decetevice and Marvel comics and their many characters, and yes they have done my favorite one Spider-Man as well. Gurihiru is the name of their production studio from what I have been able to find out through my many internet searches as for what I have been able to find out about the writer himself is also from the web, which is that he is uncertain of where he was born... he thinks it's either ALAMEDA OR FREMONT, CALIFORNIA. This is according to his Wikipedia page and he might know more about it on that since it was posted as far back as August twenty eleven.  He was born on August ninth,  nineteen seventy-three to Taiwan parents who emgrainted from Hong Kong when they were young.                                                                                                                                             So I am going to guess that like myself Yang grew up knowing very little about Superman other than when he saw a animated cartoon of the character or read a comic book that he was lucky enough to find?, but decided early on that he wanted to be a creative person in his own young life. Superman Smashes The Klan was originally published in twenty nineteen. It's contains a feel of the original Max Fletcher cartoon series like the scene here 
, where he is saving Lois Lane from flowing lava in the episode titled "The Mechanical Monsters." The Max Fletcher cartoon series came out in nineteen forty two and forty three and was based on the character who was created back in April of nineteen thirty eight from National Comics by Jerry Siegel and Joseph Shuster who was only five years old when the cartoon series was airring.                                                                                                                        Superman in Superman Smashes The Klan does have him fighting a huge mechanical robot that is apparently Germany's last stance of taking over the world. The robot is known as Atomic Man. He attacks the Metropolis Dam and is seen by two of Superman's coworkers from the Daily Planet... after the man of steel beats the robot which surprisingly has a human inside it...? After Superman flies off, our other characters are introduced a Chinese family just now moving into one of the many suburbs of Metropolis itself. The family consists of a mother and a father who have two kids a boy named Tommy and his younger sister Roberta, the kids act just as any normal children do as car traveling buddies do of just not getting alongside well because they don't have patience with each other in respectful ways. Both of Tommy and Roberta seem to grow up throughout the course of the story while others adults like their dad's boss and a boy who knows both Tommy and Roberta have strong feelings about their newest coworker and Little league team mate. Roberta tries her best to showing Tommy's team mates through words that he is just as important a tryout player as any of them are and his background of race should never be a reason to be judged for as to his merit to try in anything. The only player that isn't listening no matter what is the boy I mentioned earlier his name is Chuck Riggs.                                                                                                                 Chuck later after the game is over and at home with his uncle ( I won't mention his name in the story part but later I will), and they talk about one thing of the game and no it's not at all about Chuck's athletic abilities or if he handled himself as a responsible human being towards his own teammates. They talk about Tommy Lee the newest tryout player... the uncle tells his nephew that Chuck WILL BE ACCOMPANYING him to a new meeting in this very suburb of Metropolis... The very meeting Chuck and his uncle are attending is Chuck's initiation ceremony into the KLAN OF FIERY KROSS!                                           After talking with her mom about what had happened earlier that day at the local church's baseball playing field with Tommy her brother, Roberta tries her best to fall asleep. When she all of a sudden sees a orange light outside of her bedroom window. It turns out that members of KLAN OF FIERY KROSS are right outside setting aflame a cross on the Lee's front lawn, as the mom and dad at a indecisive decision on what is to be done Tommy  makes the choice to stand up against these invaders. The next morning Perry White has sent out his two best reporters Lois Lane and Clark Kent and photographer Jimmy Olsen for what has happened to this newest family in this part of Metropolis. The leader of the FIERY KROSS later makes Tommy Lee disappear and Roberta his sister gets help in possibly finding him with Chuck Riggs and Superman!            To Be Continued....                                                                                                                                       So why did I title this review "A COMIC THAT'S CLOSELY TO OUR TIME!", is besides trying to get it noticed, I hope that it will come across as a thoughtful moment of being always to have a chance to explore ourselves of our true and honest thoughts on living during post Covid-19 times. When anyone of us needs to have help with something that is beyond our given control what it is that we do? Well I would like to believe that as individuals we drive our brains to seeking not just one single answer to suit our given questionable task of circumstances we are dealing with each and every day of our existence. I have mostly thought of when we as a species need to grow in any knowledge of  emotional learning how we respond to Love or Indifference and even Hate the two that are very easy are the latter of Love and Hate...                                                                               This comic story deals immensely with the emotions of one's feeling towards Asians specifically of Chinese decent Cantonese people from how they are adjusting to living life in a new country for them, and various neighbors who have been taught to ONLY have H.A.T.E. ( I do have an spelling of each letter of an acronym for this word that I am working out for clarification, which can be found in my subsequently area on here known as  "Brain Teasers that keep you Smart"). For this one here on racism in a or any comic story we'll label it Having. Animosity. Torturement. Everything/Everyone. It is very sad to me as a comic fan to seeing this topic needing to be addressed directly during a time of when we still are in a unknowable cross road of a pandemic that both we and the government don't fully know why Covid-19 is in full swing...                                                              I have heard that both Marvel the comic company that I really enjoy more than Decetevice comics have both been taking away the super heroes and super villains in their main story arcs over the last few years of time. To me I am willing to admit that I really still love comics no matter what. One of my last things I want you my many readers to know about Hate in all forms especially towards fellow human beings should NEVER BE ALLOWED AT ALL! WE Willingly share our reasoning to be understanding respectful of each other. Finally the last thing from this story of Superman Smashes The Klan that truly makes me feel sad is that Chuck Riggs character's uncle is known as Matt! Yet he's not full of being kindness of his heart at anyway at all! I do want to be able to find part two and three of this very story because I know that deep down I want to know what it is that will be happening with these characters in this very story arc. My overall grade of this story is an C minus for right now.
