022 Superman
Ned Barty is a student at the University of Washington, and as a hard-working, academically excellent, and scholarship winner, his life is seen by others as studying, studying, and learning.
But today he was a little strange, he was in a strange state throughout the morning class, regretting for a while, gritting his teeth for a while, and immersing himself in his fantasies for a while.
Finally staying up until the end of class, he stood up suddenly, pushed aside the few students in front of him, and ran out of the classroom.
He didn't take a few steps before he was stopped by a blonde beauty.
"Hey, Ned, the paper assigned by the professor today is too difficult, can you help me look up the materials in the library later?"
After the blonde girl finished speaking, she looked at Ned affectionately, and it was clear that this was not as simple as checking the information.
Behind him, a few ill-intentioned guys whistled, and in their opinion, it was simply a good thing to send to the door.
But Ned Barty only paused slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I'm sorry, can you find someone else?
As he spoke, his steps did not slow down at all, and he passed by the blonde girl, and without even twisting his head, he walked out of the classroom with a firm and fast step, leaving the blonde girl alone and a little overwhelmed to stay where she was.
What are you kidding, today is the day when the inaugural issue of "Superman" is on sale, at such a critical moment, let me help you check what information?!
A few days ago, Ned Barty saw the AC Comics press conference on the Internet, and he was immediately fascinated by the three promotional posters for Superman, and then after watching the preview version on the official AC Comics website, his heart was ignited.
Ned Barty has been reading comics since he was 5 years old, and whether it is a popular or niche comic on the market, which one has he not read?
But he had never seen a comic like Superman.
Transcendent and exciting.
This is what Ned Barty said about "Superman", and he would like to bet anyone with his scholarship and degree certificate this semester that "Superman" is definitely a masterpiece of gods.
Ned Barty hurried to the nearest comic shop, and when he saw a long queue, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"These people aren't all here to buy Superman, are they?"
Ned Barty walked to the end of the line, patted the man at the end of the line who was playing with his mobile phone, and was about to speak, when he heard the other party say impatiently: "If you want to buy Superman, you can line up here......"
Really!
Based on the length of the line, there are at least 100 people in front......
Ned Barty couldn't help but feel annoyed: "I knew I skipped class in the morning......"
"Don't think about going to other places," the man playing with his mobile phone reminded him kindly, although his attitude was a little bad, "The situation in other bookstores is similar to this one." I just went across the street and thought there would be fewer people in line here, but it turned out to be damn good!"
Hearing this, Ned had no choice but to line up honestly.
The row had been lined for nearly an hour, and during that time, dozens of more people had come behind Ned.
Although he had expected the sales of "Superman" to be very hot, he also did not expect such a hot scene, and he had to sigh again at the charm of "Superman", a work that opened up a new genre of comics.
Finally, when Ned walked into the comic shop, he heard the clerk shouting, "There are only ten copies left in the inaugural issue of Superman, and the friends in the back queue will be early tomorrow." ”
There was an immediate commotion in the team, and some people immediately rushed out of the line and ran towards the counter when they heard the rumors.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ned quickly took out a bill from his wallet, regardless of the face value, and threw it on the counter, and then snatched a copy of the Superman comic from the clerk's hand.
At this time, dozens of people had already rushed to the top, trying to snatch the comics from the clerk, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
Ned had a palpitation, thinking that he was still clever, or he wouldn't have been able to buy the inaugural issue of Superman.
While thinking, he cautiously walked out of the manga shop, and then ran wildly, ran into a fast food restaurant, found a table and sat down, and before he could breathe, he slowly opened the manga as if he was holding a rare treasure.
At that moment, his sense of anticipation rushed to the top, and his heart beat violently.
Such a scene is happening in every state and city in the United States.

"Damn, get me two reporters, I'm going to interview Frank Miller, right now!"
Mark Dujon ran almost as fast as he had ever done in his life, and then slammed open the office door of Donald Meeks, the editor-in-chief of Comic Frontier, with his broad shoulders.
"We've been in contact with AC Comics, but they haven't heard back yet. ”
Although Donald Meeks is the editor-in-chief, he has actually been friends with Mark for many years and has a good relationship in private, and Mark is also the top and most senior comic book critic in the magazine, so he also turned a blind eye to his reckless behavior.
"Gotta get in touch, I'm gotta interview with Frank Miller!" Mark said, holding up the inaugural issue of Superman in his hand, almost in a roaring tone.
"Of course. "Comic Frontier" had to be the first to interview him. Mark, do you know how much Superman has been selling in the past three days?"
"I don't care about sales, I only care about comics. ”
"2.7 million copies!"
Although Mark Dujon didn't want to listen, Meeks said to himself: "2.7 million copies! What was the number one comic sales ranking last week? It's only 2.49 million copies! It only took three days to surpass last week's No. 1 copy! I think we may be witnessing a miracle!"
"That's for sure. If Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opened up a new genre of comics, then Superman expanded the possibilities of comics. What's more, the two comics are still by the same manga artist. I'm going to have to meet Frank Miller to see what kind of person makes such a classic comic. ”
"Jingle Bell ......"
At this time, the phone on Meeks' desktop rang, he picked it up, said a few words, and hung up the phone with a somewhat puzzled expression.
"What's going on?" Mark asked, "I think I heard the name of AC Comics......
"Frank Miller was interviewed by us, and it was an exclusive interview......" Meeks paused, glanced at Mark, and then continued, "What's more, according to the feedback from AC Comics, Frank Miller specified that you had to do the interview......"
"Me?!" Mark's voice was excited, and a little surprised.
"That's right...... Meeks suddenly realized, "Maybe it was your review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that helped...... After all, that article was sent out at a time when he was frustrated, so it can be regarded as a kind of support and solidarity......"
"Whatever he does! I'm going to prepare an interview outline, and I have hundreds of questions for him!"
