He's building a name. Might be worth mentioning and not dismissing so cavalierly. <br /><br />You didn't miss any tie-ins in those latter issues. Morrison has no real connection to the other Superman book. The connection works itself out I believe in issues yet to be published. I think the point was simply to establish that even this version of Superman is not just about the t-shirt era, but about the whole legacy, which is why the Legion appears. Start small go big kind of deal.
