>that pose
why?

It's ok. Not sure I'd call it the greatest, but it's not bad. Pretty influential though.
Grayson Lee
Can somebody explain the sunflower absorbtion?
Angel Morris
"Graphic novel"
Aaron Stewart
Superman is like a plant. You have to destroy his skeleton or he regenerates.
Aaron Ramirez
That doesn’t answer my question.
Gavin Wright
OP here, I think it has something to do with them being a physical representation of the sun in flower form, 'cause you know superman gets his power and shit from the sun. I mean, it also could just be miller's interpretation of how superman's powers work.
Dominic Ward
So was he fucked up by the radiation then, or just the explosion?
Mason Cox
I think it was a combination of the two, clark isn't invincible. Even before he was hit with the kryptonite arrow, bruce and kelly were able to slap him around. Albeit with the giant bat suit and the tank. Still, the point stands that there are things capable of hurting superman that aren't kryptonite. Sure, superman survived the epicenter of a literal nuclear explosion and came out a horrific mess, but that shit would literally vaporize a normal human. I can understand how even superman could get that fucked up from a nuke.
Joseph Turner
Okay, but then how does absorbing plant energy heal him?
Cameron Walker
The plants were storing the sun's energy.
Thomas Brown
But that’s more radiation!
Henry Clark
I hypothesize something akin to how plants get their energy from sunlight absorption, just like superman does. So in theory it could be possible for him to take that residual energy and use it for himself. But again, it could just be Miller taking creative freedom with the character. Either way, it was a pretty interesting scene.

What are some other great, multilayered cape comics, besides the obvious (Miller, Moore, Morrison)? It doesn't have to be Marvel/DC. Runs that go bad don't count.
I'm already going to read Peter Cannon, Earth X, and some Hickman shit, hopefully they don't disappoint too much. What else is there?
It's a little bit more than ok.
He got fucked by the nuke, and now the sun is blocked, so no solar energy to repair himself.
He takes the remnant solar energy from the surrounding plant life.
Going the mythical approach, Superman is a demigod, calls upon Mother Earth for life.

Jordan Martinez
Not him, but what does that actually mean?
Jonathan Miller
Pic related is another one of the best graphic novels ever made, even just by the art of it. It's fucking beautiful, but it's also definitely multilayered.
Ayden Ramirez
Words have meanings.
Owen Campbell
What does what actually mean?
Josiah Taylor
It means to over analyze something
Levi Peterson
And the meaning of the word says that DKR is a graphic novel.
Do you consider Maus a graphic novel?
Gabriel Adams
What do you think?I know what pedantic means.
Jaxon Peterson
No. Maus was published over a very long period in RAW.
Benjamin Anderson
It was also collected in two volumes that are meant to be consumed like you would a graphic novel.
Cameron Martin
Okay, so what counts as a graphic novel? Only things that were never published elsewhere? How long does it have to be? What is allowed to be collected in it?
Connor Anderson
You don't know what the word graphic novel means. Pro-tip: it's not a synonym for any collected edition.
Andrew Bennett
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!
Lucas Rivera
You wouldn't consider maus a "Novel", then?
Anthony Flores
