Quote: "Did you recently get a traffic ticket, when you wrote Firefly Episode 1? What have you heard about DC Comics' prior knowledge of the explosive demolition of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001, with Batman's Frank Miller being a Jewish co-conspirator with Jew Larry "Pull-It" Silverstein? Did DC really think that Batman crashing his Batjet into Lex Luthor's "Twin LexTowers" the week of 9/11/2001, "collapsing" the tower and killing everyone inside, is supposed to brainwash U.S. that 19 Arabs in a cave defeated the US Air Force using plastic cutlery, and not 1,000s of bombs planted in the World Trade Center by the treasonous Jews in our own Gangsta Govt? Quote: Superman got his new ZioNAZI-colored logo on 9/11/2001 www.greatkrypton.com/superman/comicissues.php?IssueID=98 "Our Worlds At War" (crossover) Our Worlds At War came to a close just before the attacks of September 11, 2001. In a sobering occurrence of synchronicity, Adventures of Superman #596 contained the image of Lex Luthor's twin LexTowers heavily damaged by alien attacks. The book's writer, Joe Casey, could not have intentionally referenced the attacks on the World Trade Center, but DC acknowledged that it mirrored the devastation so vividly that they made the books returnable without penalty to retailers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Worlds_at_War "A strange SUPER-tribute" - September 17, 2001 by ARNOLD T. BLUMBERG (related to NY Mayor Blumberg?) The eerie timing of Superman’s memorial to the fallen and the arrival of this aftermath issue just days after the events at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was certainly serendipitous. While the film and television industries scrambled to shift the schedules of projects that included terrorist or Trade Center-based set pieces and references, no one could have expected that a comic book tale planned and written months in advance would have offered such a creepy coda to the real world attack on America. While most of pop culture seems eager to sanitize its stories and err on the side of excessive political correctness, I would argue that this issue of Superman could not have been a better tribute if it was intended. In this issue, Superman finds himself unable to function as before while the world rebuilds following the war. Several panels even feature spine-chilling images of the Trade Center towers being rebuilt, having sustained heavy damage in the invasion. At a time when the entertainment industry has become absorbed in second-guessing its every move to avoid offending anyone, there may be some at the DC offices who regret the coincidental timing of this aftermath issue. I suggest that rather than worry about the few who might find its appearance this week on comic store shelves to be inappropriate, they should instead be proud: without any possible forward planning, they successfully managed to produce a heartfelt and respectful memorial to those who perished in this terrible tragedy while telling a tale that just may ease the souls of young readers faced with comprehending the true evil that exists in our world. ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #596 will be remembered, perhaps not as its creators would have hoped, but as an issue that offered a special and necessary footnote in American history. www.cinescape.com "Tragicomics" On September 12, as the world reeled from the worst terrorist attacks in history, Adventures of Superman #596 hit newsstands. On page two, the Man of Steel looks on as the LexCorp Towers — twin giants uncannily reminiscent of the World Trade Center — hemorrhage smoke from two gaping holes left by an alien attack. Although the issue had been in the works for months and was completed before September 11, the sickening coincidence hit far too close to home for most. A sheepish DC Comics offered immediately to buy back issues from retailers. www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/news_features/this_just_in/documents/02006930.htm "Superman comic book looks too real" By David Colton, USA TODAY, 26 Sept 2001 An imaginary image of twin skyscrapers in flames is startling readers of a Superman comic book that hit the stands on Sept. 12, just one day after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. The scene in Adventures of Superman #596 shows helicopters circling the bomb-damaged "Lex Corp." buildings in Metropolis while Superman looks on helplessly. The comic also shows other damaged landmarks, including the White House with holes in the roof. "We regret the misfortunate and untimely concurrence in a recent story line, which was shipped prior to the horrific attack on America," DC Comics spokeswoman Peggy Burns said Tuesday. "Obviously, who would have predicted something like this?" This is not the first time real events have intruded on DC superheroes. After the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, it was too late to call back an issue of Action Comics that featured JFK ("I'll smash the CIA into 1,000 pieces!!!") working behind the scenes to protect Superman's secret identity. Staffers at DC Comics, which is headquartered in midtown Manhattan, have held "morale-boosting" meetings since the attacks. www.usatoday.com/life/books/2001-09-26-comic-book.htm Do They really think the sheeple are that stupid? And is CIA running DC, er, DC Comics, for propaganda purposes, as Stan Lee and Frank Miller confessed on History Channel, to get the suckers to volunteer for war? Superman #596 was written by Joe Casey - any relation to CIA director Bill Casey? http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=73020 Is that insider trading, or a tipoff, like the X-Files Lone Gunmen pilot episode, of CIA hijacking a US airliner by remote control, to crash into the World Trade Center, broadcast by Fox in March of 2001? And have you met the new owners of Serenity and Firefly at SciFi Channel, Sir George Bush Sr Knight of the British Empire, the Queen of England, and the Bin Ladens? Don't you get sick of the Hollywood BS? But not the money, of course. Is that why you wrote Firefly, to try to tell the Truth to those with eyes that see?"
