Superman: The Wedding and Beyond
Since the very first time the feisty Lois Lane verbally needled the mild-mannered Clark Kent, it was clear that this magical couple was destined to be together. Through years of rivalry and romance, the two have become integral parts of each other. The Wedding & Beyond celebrates this legendary relationship by reverently documenting the ultimate moment of their their wedding. Focusing on Lois and Clark, this book presents a realistic look at the emotions, thoughts, and actions of two people who are truly in love on the most important day of their lives. It's all here, the bridal shower, the bachelor party, the rehearsal dinner, and more. This is the story that took over fifty years to tell, and one that should not be missed.

You Are Cordially Invited To The Wedding Of Lois And Clark
As the gentlemen behind Hanna-Barbera said at the wedding of Pebbles and Bam-Bam, the now grown children on The Flintstones, “They Were Made For Each Other.”
That adage can be applied to Lois and Clark.
Waaaay back in 1938, during Action Comics first issue, we not only get introduced to Superman, but his alter ego Clark Kent, who longs for fellow reporter Lois Lane. A romance for the ages is quickly set-up, which comes with the inevitable love triangle, but with only two people. Sounds crazy, but you all know what I mean.
The romance mutates and evolves and enters the silly zone several times over the next couple of decades. And these are the times when I dislike the series and slightly ignore it. But with the John Byrne Man Of Steel miniseries revamp in the 1980’s, the romance was reset back to the beginning and given a slight bit of new hope. Over the years after, Lois unthaws abit towards Clark, and suddenly in an emotional issue, they start dating. After awhile, in Superman #50, they get engaged. One last detail to attend to, revealing that he is really Superman, in another brilliant issue.
So with the story in place, the creators start dreaming up The Wedding Of The Century. But temporarily derailing these best laid plans is the debut of the Lois and Clark television show, which asks for them to delay the wedding in order to co-ordinate with them. So the comics killed Superman instead. He got better. They also broke them up. And no one liked it.
With the television show silliness finally settled, the comics could do what fans have been aching for since the 1930’s, marry the two. In a whirlwind story, Lois sees the error of her cranky ways and comes back to Metropolis, argues with Clark, realizes she still loves him, and promptly gets re-engaged.
Most of this happens in Superman The Wedding Album, released in October 1996. Once the happy couple are reunited, the tale rockets along through all the tropes virtually every wedding adheres to. A bridal shower, bachelor party, dress fitting, suit fitting, apartment hunting, Batman popping in, guest stars galore, fights with Lois’s jerk father, Lex Luther being creepy, and, of course, the actual nuptials, are all featured prominently. DC rotates various famous Superman creators into this issue, with several writers getting mutual credit and the artist changing every few pages. All to make this a group effort for one of the pinnacles of Superman’s history.
Right away in the next few issues we are treated to the reception, an adventure filled honeymoon, and the happy couple settling into a new life. With Bruce Wayne as their new landlord.
In the years that followed, multiple creators with limited vision came to DC with plans to nullify the marriage. Thankfully they were all shoved out the door, until they tried one more day when The New 52 was being planned and the idiots relented and allowed the marriage to be voided. Much knashing of teeth by geeks such as myself ensued, which included a facebook page dedicated to Saving The Happy Couple being set-up.
All for naught.
Taking one of the most beloved stories of all time for Superman, leading to a massive change for the better, and trashing it out for what could best be called mediocre whatever over the last two years, is a travesty. Several writers put much heart and soul into making the marriage work, notably Greg Rucka, and those stories are amoung the best for the run. The current Superman books hint and hedge around a possible Lois and Clark romance, but I fully believe this is simply teasing to shut-up the long time fans. The real shame here is that DC is stunting the natural progression of the characters, all because of a lack of guts.
I am an old fashioned romantic, so I still carry a torch for this wedding and the lovely couple. Maybe with Hollywood pressure because of the movie DC will finally rectify their stupidity. It is not late to alter their universe. This wedding could easily be put back into continuity.
Where it belongs.

Part of my comic book reread project. Continued from The Bottle City.
If you recall from the last checkpoint, Lois got in a snit and went out of the country, and we all say "hallelujah..." Well, I say Hallelujah. Everyone else is bummed. This allows Superman to give his full attention to being Superman for about three minutes because he's also been promoted to managing editor of The Daily Planet while Perry White does his chemo. An editor's life is a busy one, and he has trouble balancing everything, but he manages okay.
There are a few one-shot adventures which he wraps up rather easily. Meanwhile Professor Hamilton discovers the environment in the bottle city of Kandor is deteriorating since Tolos is no longer around to keep it going. Superman flies him down to his fortress of solitude to see if any of the equipment there is still functioning (the fortress had been destroyed a while back), and they discover one of the functioning robots has slowly rebuilt the place. However it identifies Superman as an imposter since his DNA is off. (This will be important later... I think. I haven't read these in 27 years). Then we come to the Final Night tie-in issues. Superman flies back to Metropolis to help with that crisis. His powers slowly diminish since the sun is gone and he can't recharge his batteries. This doesn't stop him from doing his best, though. Eventually the sun is back, (plot for this book starts here) and so is Lois who did some soul searching after climbing a mountain, and she discovered she loved Clark anyway and was willing to put up with whatever that entailed. However, Supe's powers aren't back and show no sign of returning. This is not a deal breaker, and actually kind of sweetens the pot considering that Lois was always bitching about Superman having to fly off to get a cat out of a tree or something. Clark reproposes, Lois reaccepts, and then we finally, finally, finally come to something I'd been waiting for for ages. Superman cuts his hair!
Oh, and Clark and Lois also get married in a very well done 90+ page issue, but more importantly the fucking mullet is gone! For three goddam years we had to put up with that thing and now it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, glory be to God in the highest from whom all blessings flow, praise Jaysus!
Lois and Clark honeymoon, and of course it all goes wrong. Clark is kidnapped, and since he's still powerless, it's up to Lois to rescue him for a change. Oh, he gets his licks in and all, but he couldn't have done it without her. (Plot for this book ends here). After they return to Metropolis, Supes feels enough is enough and is determined to get his powers back. He tries three or four different ideas, all of which fail, but when Metron shows up with his flying chair and boomtubes him into the core of the sun, that does the trick and he's back to full strength.
Next, five losers who get put away by Superman every time they go head to head with him unite to take him on as the SUPERMAN REVENGE SQUAD! In the past, they always got their asses handed to them in a single issue when they took on Supes alone, but when they combine their talents and abilities, they manage to last two whole issues! Technically it's a three part story, but the first issue is some dude we don't know who hangs out in the shadows getting this team of morons together, though he has ulterior motives which may or may not be explained in a future checkpoint; I can't remember.
After that it's a few more separate, single-issue adventures, before... but that's the next big story and will be discussed at the next checkpoint.
Ongoing serial stuff: Perry White is still doing chemo, but he pops in to the office from time to time. Franklin Stern (the Daily Planet publisher) has hired right-wing columnist Dirk Armstrong to act as a foil for the more open-minded Perry, Lois, Clark, and company. Since the writers are liberal as hell, Dirk showcases all the worst qualities and bigotry my team has to offer and comes without a single redeeming quality while our heroes are sanctimonious saints. (I once again wonder how I managed to read these in my youth without getting brainwashed. I must be pretty hard headed.) Franklin has also hired Simone D'Neige to boost sales, though she's more interested in sensationalism. She was an old flame of Clark's, and she would love to kick it off again with him and doesn't care that he's married.
Lex Luthor revealed to the world that he was still alive during the "Final Night" story, and even though he helped to save the world, he's taken into custody and put on house arrest. (Trust me, this is still too lenient given his past crimes.) Lex can still get out and around town, of course, because he's Lex Luthor. His new wife, Contessa, still controls Lexcorp and she's now preggers with Lex's baby. Their relationship is amusing to watch with both of them trying to undercut the other with various schemes and then having power sex. Jimmy Olsen is still a shit, but he started to show signs of maturity right where I stopped this section. Hopefully it will continue.

This was the only ad that meant anything to me.
This isn't the ad for when the movie came out in the theaters, but when it showed up on VHS. I enjoyed seeing it when it came out in the theaters. I don't always remember the date I saw a movie, but this was on the early afternoon of Wednesday, July 3rd, 1996. I was on the swim team, and our meets were on Wednesday evenings. We were encouraged to relax on swim meet days which meant no hanging in the sun at the pool, and the coach made an event for all the seniors to go see this. It was a good time.

While a hugely momentous occasion, the wedding of Lois and Clark was so lackluster. The whole thing comes out of nowhere and then happens in a one off oversized book with no real drama or appeal. What were the writers at the time thinking? I can't imagine a being a fan at the time and reading this weekly. What a disappointment. Again, the story was simply lame and made worse by the incredibly poorly written honeymoon. There was some good art, again focusing on Stuart Immonen. Overall, a colossally bad plot that should have never been approved.

This is probably more 3.5 stars actually. I enjoyed it, over all, but there were parts that definitely took me out of the story from time to time. (1) I couldn't take Superman--or, more appropriately SuperFabio. Seriously, I would love to know how long-haired Superman was deemed a good idea. What part of mild-mannered reporter from Smallville, Kansas says pony-tail? And, (2) Lois seemed very...brash in this one. I've really enjoyed Lois in the other comics I've read. She has a strong personality, one that had it's moments over the "witchy" line, but she never made her home there. In this one, she seemed downright harsh. She didn't just seem like a strong female character, but a female trying to be a dude. And this has nothing to do with her take on the wedding--in fact, when it comes to romance, I'm very similar to Lois in my own tastes. It was just her...general attitude. Still, I enjoyed reading a comic that focused on Clark and Lois rather than superhero antics. The wedding was definitely sweet, and I really liked how all the other heroes helped the happy couple have a honeymoon--even if they didn't know that's what they were doing. The moment with Batman--where he gets Lois and Clark their dream apartment as a wedding gift--was also a nice warm and fuzzy moment. (Well, as warm and fuzzy as Batman can be.) A story with a powerless Superman also allowed more focus to be on the characters rather than the action, which was a nice change of pace--even if I've read other comics that managed to have that character focus while still having solid action. Over all, though, this is still a comic I'm glad I read.

This book does a wonderful job of representing both the bride and groom!
We get to see through their inner and outer woes and how they together help each other see a brighter side and handle each.
This wedding event is full of interpersonal relationships of Lois and Clark's that feel evocative of Archie comics in tone here!
I can't appreciate enough everything done with Lois in this! As well as showing how super Superman will always be!
Additionally Jenette Kahn writes one of the best comic intro letters I've ever read, which truly showcases what is so special about this book!

More of a 3.75 but doesn’t deserve a 3 star mark. Good story to go along with the marriage. Great to have a story of them showing why they are the best couple in all of comics. The only reason I was hesitant to give it 4 stars is that the wedding came abruptly in the comics. Lois ended their engagement quite a bit ago and very suddenly during the Final Night event, she realizes she made a mistake. I don’t blame the writers for it, I’m sure it was a decision from upper staff.

This was delightful because it's Lois and Clark FINALLY getting their shit together, but there were some moments that made me cringe, particularly the bachelorette party. Thankfully, a visit from Mister Mxyzptlk was kept short otherwise it would have been a hard pass for me. A short visit from Batman was totally appreciated by me and it left me with all the feels.

Sam ślub Clois zasługuje na to, aby dać temu tomowi pięć gwiazdek, ale istnieje tutaj jeszcze ich miesiąc miodowy, czyli Lois będąca badassem i ratująca Clarka bez mocy, więc czytanie tego to sama przyjemność

Collects: Superman vol. 2 #118, Superman: The Wedding Album #1, Adventures of Superman #541, Action Comics #728, and Superman: The Man of Steel #63.
Some time after Clark proposed, Lois broke off the engagement fearing that she will stop being Lois Lane and will become just a Mrs Superman. The beginning of this collection (Superman v2 #118) is about Lois and Clark thinking over their relationship and ends with a proposal No. 2.
'The Wedding Album' part is really great and my favorite. It's fun and everything I expected, although you might not like it much, if you're not much into wedding dresses, bridal showers and weddings. There's not much action here, only various episodes of preparations leading up to the wedding itself. No superheroes invited though, as most of them don't know that Clark Kent is Superman (and those that know would probably raise too many questions and attention by attending).
The action comes later when the happy couple leave for their honeymoon to Hawaii. This is the part that that I liked the least and which knocked my overall rating of this collection to 3 stars, because there's not much of actual honeymooning here, as it's interrupted by some Hawaiian monster, and then later Clark (who is powerless and plain human for this whole graphic novel by having lost his powers to some event previously) gets abducted by some gangsters and Lois has to save him going all Rambo (with muscles to match).
To sum up, if you're interested in Lois and Clark as a couple, this is definitely for you. If you're more of a fan of Superman being Superman and doing super stuff, you can safely pass this one over.

It's the event that divided Superman fans across the land. Superman getting married to Lois Lane.
The story suffers like a lot of early Superman does... it's still trapped in the Silver Age of storytelling when it comes to dialogue. Sometimes the lines feel like they'd be more at home in the 40's radio show... very cheesy with that tendency for people to provide way more exposition than they need to. "I captured you and now you are trapped! You can try and fight but there's no way you can get out!" Stuff like that.
The wedding issue itself is pretty well done--it effectively condenses the entire experience of a wedding into one issue, and it features most of the major Superman writers and artists of the past 20 years contributing pages and lines.
If only the stories surrounding it weren't so bad. It's a shame... for a charater so iconic, there's a lot of dud Superman stories. Stories with no real story outside of positing conflict as inherently interesting. They're wrong, and it shows.
The bittersweet thing about all this? In the new DC reboot the Lois/Clark wedding is being wiped out of continuity. Yep. Never happened. So essentially, you don't need to read this anyway!

Wow. This was some of the worst shit I have ever read in a Big 2 published title. The wedding itself, the idea of having a bunch of big name illustrators was OK, but it just was too much and made it too long and bloated with all the changes of style.
That was also the only issue worth reading.
The ones before and after the wedding are some of the lamest crap I've ever read. It made me want to vomit to see a character like Superman abused in such ways and made to look like a sidekick to Lois Lane: badass super agent of anything. The art didn't help either, nor did the ridiculous dialogue.
I don't know what I was expecting, but for all the little fun cute things, there was so much garbage here I needed a shower afterwards...just thinking of it makes me feel icky.
AVOID.

Decent collection of stories surrounding the wedding of Lois & Clark. There was some good stuff with Superman & Wonder Woman too. I read a lot of these in single issues as it was happening, so it was a very nostalgic read.

Don't get me wrong, I love Superman, ask me who my favourite superhero is and I'll answer Superman but the truth is, Superman comics aren't always very good, and when I say some of them aren't very good, I mean some of them, like this one, are crap. Really crap.
March 27, 2009
I do love me some superman comics! This one is my favorite. Good to see Superman and his love Lois finally marry!
