But that man's face? Something so eerily familiar. That nose, that chin, that hair. He recognises that man. That man who activated the machine. His executioner. Something beckons him to show him the horrors he unleashed. Unknowingly punished Kal-El to the sins of his father.

It doesn't matter when you entered. Decades, centuries after his imprisonment. The Phantom Zone doesn't understand time. All it knows is that this man has been subject to ever mutation and twisted his every cell. Punished for his twisted crimes, after a millennia, he's forgotten everything.

But if you're truly unlucky, you'll see a figure over the hill. One that's very real, and approaching. It looks humanoid, but it's limbs are too long. It's knees bend at the wrong angle. It's features, don't make sense. Adorned in bandages and a tattered red cloack: The Phantom King.

The dimension is cast with a looming sense of paranoia. The winds sound like screams, in every fog and reflective lake you'd swear you'd have seen eyes. Silhouettes fading in and out of view. It's like a terrible nightmare, except its not your dream.

The Zone itself is a place that could drive even the strongest of wills mad. It's a realm cast in monochrome, caught in an eternal storm. Its physics incomprehensible as landmasses drift apart and through each other, mass has no concept. Motion has no rules.

I know Waid said the election would worsen his writing but this is ridiculously quick

The only way I even remember that he was part of the Golden Age was because Johns made him a seperate character that hasn't actually had a proper appearance

Way less qualified than the previous guy but is still a great hero.

Eric is funny as Black Ant and I genuinely couldn't tell you anything about the other one

I mean sure, can't guarantee I'll get to reading it soon but it'll be good to have

I have read a bit of Claremont but like it just seems like such a massive read I have neither the time, nor interest to commit to

Simone put me off slightly after I saw the FCBD special with the whole "they missed one slur" thing
