    Imagine finding SUPERMAN #1 in your attic?

    Well .. if you did, you would be rich right now!

    A pristine copy of “Superman” No. 1 sold for $9.12 million at Heritage Auctions on Thursday, making it the most expensive comic book ever sold at auction.

    The closing price smashed the record previously set by another Superman-related comic, a copy of “Action Comics” No. 1, which sold for $6 million through Heritage Auctions in 2024.

    The first issue of “Superman” was among a small trove of comic books found by three brothers in Northern California who were sorting through their late mother’s belongings.

    The collection had been tucked under a pile of old newspapers and cobwebs in the attic of their family home, according to a press release from Heritage Auctions.

    Even more interesting, the comic was found in a box in an attic by three brothers in northern California, as they cleared out the house of their mother after her death. The trio have said their mom spoke of having original copies of comic books from the 1930s but couldn’t remember where and it was dismissed as a family legend.

    A legend no more!!

    The family has opted not to have their name revealed.. but we can only say if this family had someone smart enough to preserve a copy of SUPERMAN 1 what other amazing things exist in that amazing attic!

  • Superman Blockbuster Summer begins

    Superman Blockbuster Summer begins

    The Superman has officially soared this weekend. Early estimates suggest James Gunn’s blockbuster is heading toward a final tally between $120 to $130 million, and the cape is flying high.

    Audiences are being rocked with excitement, even as critics and fans alike debate the film’s flow. Some say it’s a little sloppy, jumping around enough to make you feel like you’ve landed in the same mysterious void that opens in the movie. But most moviegoers? They don’t care. Why? Because this is the epitome of the summer blockbuster—high-octane action, purposeful humor, and a fresh yet respectful take on one of pop culture’s most iconic figures.

    This is Superman rising from the ashes.

    The last several years haven’t been kind to the Man of Steel on the big screen. He’s struggled to find his footing, with stories that never quite soared. But James Gunn seems to have cracked the code. He studied the character, honored the mythos, and delivered something that has people, casual fans and diehards alike, talking.

    Reports from movie theaters across the country point to something we haven’t seen in a while: true excitement. Not just from fanboys and fangirls, but from entire families. Kids are being introduced to Superman for the first time, and parents are feeling a sense of nostalgia that only the red cape can bring.

    There’s something special in the air with this film. Whether it needs to make $700 million or not is beside the point—for now, Superman isn’t just the Man of Steel… he’s the Man of the Blockbuster..

  • Will the man of steel equal the box office of millions?

    James Gunn May Have Just Cracked the Code on Superman…

    After years of hit-or-miss attempts to do justice to the ultimate man of justice, Superman might finally be soaring again—this time, thanks to James Gunn.

    Early indicators suggest this could be a box office juggernaut. The film has already raked in $21 million in previews alone, and despite some critics sharpening their snark, audiences are embracing the Man of Steel with open arms. As of this writing, the film is holding an impressive 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.



    Could this be the biggest movie of the summer?

    Even the political sphere is feeling the ripple. Former President Donald Trump posted an image of himself in full Superman regalia—on the official Truth Social White House account—seemingly trying to ride the cape-tails of the film’s buzz. It’s no surprise either, as Gunn has openly acknowledged that his Superman will dip into the realm of politics.



    But beyond the numbers, beyond the politics, there’s one question left that really matters:

    Will you like it once you see it?

  • Will negative reviews be Kryptonite for SUPERMAN?

    Will negative reviews be Kryptonite for SUPERMAN?



    This week, James Gunn’s much-hyped Superman movie premieres and with it comes a swirl of speculation, drama, and one massive oopsie.

    From the moment Gunn announced his take on the Man of Steel, fans have wondered just how political this Superman would be. Gunn hasn’t exactly dodged the question either. He’s said outright that the film will contain political elements, and in today’s fiercely polarized environment, that’s enough to set off alarm bells for both fans and detractors.

    Despite the anticipation, no official reviews have dropped yet. That’s because of a strict press embargo… well, mostly.

    In what might go down as the Kryptonian Leak Heard ’Round the World, The Daily Beast accidentally published its full review a whopping five days early. And it wasn’t exactly glowing. The headline?


    “The Terrible New ‘Superman’ Movie Is the Final Nail in the Grave for the Superhero Genre.”

    Whoopsie poopsie.

    The article was taken down within five minutes, but the internet doesn’t forget—and screenshots were everywhere within seconds. Warner Bros.’ PR team has been scrambling ever since, not only because the embargo was broken, but because it was broken with a fatal headline punch to the jaw.

    Talk about bad timing for a movie that’s already under a microscope.

    Now, Gunn and Warner Bros. are hoping that audience excitement—and perhaps some glowing word-of-mouth—can help the film deflect those early rays of criticism. Gunn has said the movie doesn’t need to hit $700 million to be considered a success. But considering its hefty budget and the fact that superhero fatigue is real (unless you’re a dinosaur—Jurassic World: Dominion roared back to life last weekend), some insiders are skeptical.

    Will Superman soar—or will those early leaked reviews prove to be its kryptonite at the box office?

  • How super will SUPERMAN be?

    How super will SUPERMAN be?

    Move over LILO AND STITCH and HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON.. if estimates are right, we are about to see a real old fashioned summer blockbuster movie coming to a theater near you.

    According to reports, the pre-sales are strong.. So much so that SUPERMAN is expected to have potentially a $185 mil domestic opening weekend..

    If accurate, the lowest end of that estimate would have it as the fourth highest opening DC movie ever behind only “Batman v Superman,” “The Dark Knight Rises” and “The Dark Knight” which all hover in the $158-166 million range.

    If there is justice in the world, SUPERMAN will have a bigger opening than the dreadful BATMAN vs SUPERMAN…

    It is also confirmed that SUPERMAN will have post-credit scenes for those who want to stick around after the ending..

    The two hour and 20 minute film hits theaters July 11..

  • Superman’s son comes out!

    Superman’s son comes out!

    Clerk Kent and Lois Lane’s son may not have secrets he wants revealed. But his sexual preference is front and center in a new Marvel generation..

    That same-sex relationship is just one of the ways that Jonathan Kent, who goes by Jon, is proving to be a different Superman than his famous father. Since his new series, Superman: Son of Kal-El, began in July, Jon has combated wildfires caused by climate change, thwarted a high school shooting and protested the deportation of refugees in Metropolis.

    “The idea of replacing Clark Kent with another straight white savior felt like a missed opportunity,” Tom Taylor, who writes the series, said in an interview. He said that a “new Superman had to have new fights — real world problems — that he could stand up to as one of the most powerful people in the world.”
