Gangsta Superman (or: “Straight Outta Krypton”)

I’m not the only one who’s recently acquired a kind of interest in Superman. Jeff Rowland, artist/writer of the webcomic Wigu, recently ran a four-part series which melds the Superman story with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (right down to the name; in GTA:SA, the hero’s name is “CJ”, in this send-up, Clark Kent becomes “CK”).

The comics:

• Kal-El comes to the ‘hood
  (Note how faithfully the parody renders Superman’s parents — check out this comic about Superman’s origin if you don’t believe me)
• That’s one tough white baby
• Damn, it feels good to be a heat-vision gangsta
• Good thing he can peep with them x-rays
