today's #makeaterriblecomicday2025, and I teamed up with some old friends to make a little short story called "Superman: eug ene sia."
I cut a copy of All-Star Superman to pieces, individual panels or rows, and then made it make sense.
It's a Superman fanfic, about the dangers of...well, you'll see.
01: a page of comics made up of cut-up pieces of All-Star Superman #1, from Frank Quitely, Grant Morrison, Jamie Grant, and Phil Balsman. it's a three-panel page, the first of four pages total. Credits follow at the bottom. 1: In B&W, the camera focuses on sci-fi buildings. A voice is saying, "...we've run exhaustive tests." 2: In B&W, Superman walks alongside a gaudily dressed scientist. The scientist says, "Photosynthetic giants, bizarro worker drones...I dedicated PROJECT resources toward building a new race of superhumans." Superman replies, "Smart thinking." 3: In B&W, a planet is threatened with destruction. A caption reads, "Doomed Planet." 02: a page of comics made up of cut-up pieces of All-Star Superman #1, from Frank Quitely, Grant Morrison, Jamie Grant, and Phil Balsman. it's a four-panel page, the second of four pages total. 1: In B&W, Superman flies near the Daily Planet building. "Great Caesar's Ghost!" someone shouts. 2: In color, Lex Luthor looks at the camera and says, "It's time to get serious about killing Superman. Don't you think?" 3: In B&W, Clark Kent and Lois Lane have a conversation under an elevated train. Clark Kent says, "I just don't know where my self-esteem would be without you." Lois Lane replies, "Alone in front of the television. All this stuff, Clark." 4: In color, Lex Luthor grabs a man and says, "Three months ago, I looked in the mirror and I realized something." 03: a page of comics made up of cut-up pieces of All-Star Superman #1, from Frank Quitely, Grant Morrison, Jamie Grant, and Phil Balsman. it's a seven-panel page, the third of four pages total. 1-4: In color, Superman flies across the surface of the sun. Lex Luthor narrates, "I know he arrived on Earth from the planet Krypton. I know every cell in his body is a living solar battery, evolved to store raw energy from the sun. But the temperature at the solar chromosphere is 6000º fahrenheit." 5: In B&W, Perry White looks at his staff and says, "Investing heavily in water. Damming more than fifteen rivers. With intent to profit from a global water shortage brought about by tampering with the sun." 6: In B&W, Superman looks pensive and says, "No one must know. There are...things I have to do first." 7: In B&W, Lois Lane and Clark Kent cross the street. Clark Kent bumps into someone and says, "Whupps!" Lois says, "Who's dying? Don't be so morbid, Clark. Anyway, a big country lummox like you? Your skill for self-preservation is almost a superpower in itself." 04: a page of comics made up of cut-up pieces of All-Star Superman #1, from Frank Quitely, Grant Morrison, Jamie Grant, and Phil Balsman. it's a three-panel page, the last of four pages total. 1: In color, a scientist says, "Superman is through the corona but conditions are deteriorating. There can't be much time." 2: In color, Superman explodes. 3: In color, Lex Luthor raises his fists and says, "Thank God."
