Armageddon Diplomacy (US / Iran) p 1 / 2 by Nasser

Given recent events, it seemed appropriate to pre-empt my previously scheduled Nasser/Netzer post.

Mike has never been shy about speaking his mind. He dove right into the... hubbub... regarding events in Action Comics 900 ( published June 2011 ).

Superman goes to Iran to join a protest. The US government expresses their displeasure to Superman. In turn, Superman renounces his US citizenship saying he is a citizen of the Earth.

I'd say this is probably the exact opposite of how Superman was portrayed in DKR.

Anyway, Mike put out his own 2 page "afterword" to the story with Batman and Wonder Woman joining Superman in Iran to burn the flags of the US, Great Britain and Israel. This also includes cameos by Lois Lane and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran from 2005 to 2013.

I'm not aware of the exact details but I gather the reaction on Bleeding Cool to Mike's piece was not... uh... positive.

In response, Mike put the finishing touch on the 2nd page. You can see for yourself on youtube, actually pretty… meta if you think about it. Damn, Mike !!!
