>A colossal new threat to Superman, the planet Earth, and the DC Universe arrives on the scene in this extra-sized anniversary issue! This unique warrior called the Synmar was created to represent an entire alien race. He’s trained his entire life—but for what purpose? As the antithesis of everything Superman stands for, Synmar launches his aggression toward Earth—to destroy the Man of Steel and every being on the planet! This is what Superman was born to protect us from!
So clearly Bendis Big Bad didn’t take so this is attempt #2 which will fail as well
Hunter Morgan
>Writer Brian Michael Bendis said he can't wait for readers to meet Symanar, saying there are a few surprises in store for Superman. He teased Synmar's connection to Superman and called him a villain Superman's never faced before. I'm didn't fall for it last time Benis, I'm not falling for it again.
John Richardson
>another monster alien buff guy is the “true big bad that will destroy Superman and is his opposite” Fuck you, Bendis.
Samuel Murphy
Well, at least his design isn't a mess that's even hard to remember like Shogo Zarr, but it feels like it should be a generic alien grunt, not the main villain.
Aaron Evans
>>Writer Brian Michael Bendis said he can't wait for readers to meet Symanar, saying there are a few surprises in store for Superman. He teased Synmar's connection to Superman and called him a villain Superman's never faced before.
Fucking really?
Andrew Lee
So Ragdoll Zur 2?
Henry Thompson
This ain't saying much. But I guess that's the point. I guess it will be a bit better than Zaar, because he don't have the Supergirl book to tell half of his Villains story. It definitely looks like a Reis design.
Charles Nguyen
well the design is an improvement over Roberto de Sal
>This unique warrior called the Synmar was created to represent an entire alien race. He’s trained his entire life he was made to fight against Superman?
Eli Howard
You know I’m actually kind of happy Bendis is focusing so much on crap OC creations no one gives a fuck about. It distracts him from ruining Superman’s underutilized rogues gallery. Also wow, this guy sounds like bland shit....AGAIN.
>Synmar was created to represent an entire alien race. He’s trained his entire life—but for what purpose?
Yeah, this is definitely not the main antagonist.
Charles Hill
What's his name again?
Zachary Johnson
Bendis has just been coasting through his comics doing the most bare minimum and basic shit for a long ass time, probbaly since his Guardians run and yet these fuckers keep giving him work. The worst part is the fucker is a millionaire and doesn't need it, he's just screwing with people.
This is just a dumb recycled power level wankery like Rogol Zaar or the creatively named Hala the Accuser or Yotat the Destroyer of Destroyers (yet has nothing to do with Drax) all characters that were touted as being big deals yet were forgotten after a couple of issues.
Oliver Wilson
Seems a bit more interesting than Ramón Salazar, but that's not saying much, I'm still just waiting for Bendis to fucking leave already.
Christopher Cook
>When are they kicking Bendis off this book? Soon I hope.
Parker Taylor
>the fucker is a millionaire How much do these guys get paid? I've never seen a Zig Forums thread mentioning how much the writers and artists earn. Kinda weird.
Ayden Long
Most writers usually don't make much if they're not a big name. And the rates changed over the last three or so decades so what someone got back in the 80's/90's is different from now.
Isaiah Martin
Have to get that royalty bait if some other media uses it. Worked wonders for Miles.
James Richardson
I would think he gets royalties from Spider-Verse because of Miles
He made Marvel characters that ended up getting the TV treatment and he became buddies with Quesada and Buckley who at one point gave him his own Marvel Imprint and helped him considerably, he was also one of Ike's lapdogs. That got him considerable amount of money not to mention being in the Creative Comittee (who pissed off James Gunn considerably) which also had him involved in Marvel Studios.
Most writers and artists at Marvel don't earn much really and Bendis is a special case. He got into Marvel because a friend of his was close to Quesada and he got Bendis a job interview directly Joe with Quesada who BTW had already decided to give Bendis the job before seeing him. The funniest thing is that Bendis was going for a job as an artist but Quesada gave him a writing job.
Also Quesada and his ilk just did a lot of stuff to get richer while they were in Marvel. Miles and Kamala gets shilled a lot because of Bendis and Sana Amanat and them being everywhere gives them more royalties.
Gavin Perry
How come the same didn't work for Loeb and Sam Alexander?
Isaac Perez
I don't care. I was curious enough to read the summary. I have no interest in reading Bendis's Doughnut Steel not-Doomsday. Again, please tell me when he is done with Superman so I can start reading again.
Noah Smith
Seminar
Kevin Bailey
>Klyntar >Ragal Zarrrr >now Synmar The man has zero imagination. WHY IS HE STILL ON THIS BOOK
Thomas Stewart
Writers should have never been given rights for royalties for thier shitty OCs being used. Fuck Bendis clearly abusing it to pump them out to fill out his greedy pockets.
Nathan Peterson
Nepotism is the only reason really.
Levi Sanchez
So he's actually good guy right?
Angel Turner
Bendis also would have gotten royalties on his TPBs (even if they were small cuts), he's produced a lot of volumes of stuff and they do seem usually timed to whatever big media push there is, which means retailers (direct and book and so on) might order a lot of his stuff to sell during the movies.
Plus like said, Bendis was on the Creative Committee, which probably had its own benefits (especially knowing what Marvel Studios had planned). He also was sort of involved with that Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon and the Netflix stuff, and Into the Spider-Verse used Miles. I don't know if he got royalties for the cartoons or Netflix, but it would probably get people buying his books.
And there was also that Powers TV show.
Michael Parker
>Bendis is creating terrible OCs therefore no one should get royalties for creating something
Brainlet take there
Aiden Taylor
They’re entitled to royalties, they should just be limited by how many new characters they can make. Bendis and Scott Snyder shamelessly crank this shot out trying to bait for easy money
Nathan James
No one at that company cares about latino characters. Especially when they have non-latino names.
Sebastian Morgan
Him being a super nice guy who looks like a space warlord would be kino but I doubt Bendis would do something like this.
