Superman has been ‘grounded’ for a year. In a 13-part series by the same name starting this month, the flying superhero is being made to take a walk across the US. During his year-long trek, the Man of Steel is expected to reconnect with the average American he’d promised to protect, reaching out to everyday people from poverty and drug-plagued areas. The 701st issue, which has kickstarted the series, is based in Philadelphia, from where he’ll step across to Detroit, and over the course of the year pass through Illinois, Iowa, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon and Washington. Readers keen on seeing the man with the red undie pass through their town, city or neighbourhood have been encouraged to write in explaining why he should visit their home town, with DC Comics making the final selection. Incidentally, Superman’s ‘return-to-roots’ journey comes after a year or so that he spent on the planet New Krypton, along with others of his superhuman abilities.
