− | '''Synopsis:''' This issue collects all eight issues of the [[Up, Up, and Away]] storyline as originally presented in the following comic books: |
||
− | *[[Superman 650 (Volume 1, 2006)|Part I: Superman (Volume 1) #650]] |
||
− | *[[Action Comics 837 (2006)|Part II: Action Comics #837]] |
||
− | *[[Superman 651 (Volume 1, 2006)|Part III: Superman (Volume 1) #651]] |
||
− | *[[Action Comics 838 (2006)|Part IV: Action Comics #838]] |
||
− | *[[Superman 652 (Volume 1, 2006)|Part V: Superman (Volume 1) #652]] |
||
− | *[[Action Comics 839 (2006)|Part VI: Action Comics #839]] |
||
− | *[[Superman 653 (Volume 1, 2006)|Part VII: Superman (Volume 1) #653]] |
||
− | *[[Action Comics 840 (2006)|Part VIII: Action Comics #840]] |
||
− | |||
− | ==Notes== |
||
− | * [[Superman]] appears as [[Clark Kent]] for the first half of this storyline. He lost his powers from red solar radiation in [[Infinite Crisis 7 (2006)|Infinite Crisis #7]]. |
||
− | |||
− | * This story presents the first appearance of the new [[Fortress of Solitude]]. The physical appearance of the Fortress is reminiscent of the crystal structure popularized by the various [[Superman]] movies. |
||
− | |||
− | ==Trivia== |
||
− | |||
− | * Many of the plot elements from this storyline mirror events chronicled in the movie, [[Superman Returns]]. |
||
− | |||
− | * This story establishes that [[Krypton]] exploded sixty-eight years ago, in the year [[:Category:1938|1938]]. This is the same year that National Periodical Publications published [[Action Comics 1 (1938)|Action Comics #1]], the first appearance of [[Superman (Earth-Two)|Superman]]. Ever since the [[Crisis on Infinite Earths]], DC Comics has consistently maintained that Krypton was destroyed in 1938. |
||
− | |||
− | * In this story, Clark uses a special signal watch to contact [[Supergirl]]. This is a nod towards two different sets of circumstances popularized during the [[:Category:Silver Age|Silver Age]]. Superman often relied upon [[Supergirl (Silver Age)|Supergirl]] as his "secret weapon" for the first few years that she was on Earth. Also, [[Jimmy Olsen]] classically used a specially modified [[Jimmy Olsen's Signal Watch|signal watch]] to contact Superman in times of need. |
||
− | |||
− | * The title for this story arc, ''Up, Up, and Away!'' was a quote often proferred forth by the Man of Steel just before taking flight. It was first used in the [[:Category:1940|1940]] [[Adventures of Superman (Radio)|Adventures of Superman]] radio dramatization. |
||
− | |||
− | * The [[Toyman]] as seen in this issue is reminiscent of the Toyman character featured in the [[Superman (1996 TV Series)|Superman animated series]]. |
