My pal Chris Roberson has been obsessed with Superman since he was six years old. He practically lived in his red, white, and blue underoos. He is also a hell of a nice guy, who, with his wonder wife, Allison Baker, broke me into comics.

And now, in one of those rare, wonderful cases of karmic justice — not to mention truth and the American way — Chris has been tapped to write Superman, DC’s flagship comic. His first issue, #707, is out now. You must buy this, if only to remind yourself that Yes, sometimes good things happen to good people.
