Gerardo Presciato and Dan Bayliss, the creative team behind the wildly popular fan-made comic Batman: The Deal (we spoke to them about it here), are at it again--this time reimagining an ancient Superman who has seen everyone he's ever loved die while he endures. The only explanation they provide for the tale is the caption, "We hope you enjoyed the holidays, so let's start the new year with my favorite Moonhead Press story so far, our take on the 'other' big superhero archetype, we hope you like it, but even if you don't, we would love to hear from you in the comments section. Thank you for checking us out and we hope to keep entertaining you in 2014."

Indeed, Batman: The Deal gained a ton of acclaim, but anyone who didn't love it seemed to respond viscerally to their very different interpretation of The Dark Knight's relationship with The Joker. Looking rather like Alan Moore, Superman returns to Earth nearly 300 years after he left it to explore the cosmos a period he describes as "277 years of bliss." Titled God's End, the story deals with Superman's frustration with a human race that would rather ravage the planet and then colonize other peaceful worlds than follow his example of selflessness and make Earth a livable place. It's a dark and hopeless vision of the future, and Superman himself is at the center of it, somewhat at a loss for how to respond to it all. You can check it out at their blog. Check back later today for an interview with the creators.
