Superman: Secret Origin #1
That sound you just heard was a hammer knocking the final nail into the coffin of the 1985 Byrne post-Crisis revamp.

	I actually really loved this issue--the writing and the art didn't bother me at all, neck and neck with Detective as my favorite read this week. :) Also--isn't the tornado bit from the MOS revamp? Really, I don't see this so much as getting rid of MOS all-together, but combining as many versions as possible, which I kinda dig. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I can't see a mention of a tornado in these pages so not sure what context it's referenced. Man of Steel had Clark's ship arrive at the start of a mammoth snowstorm that left the Kent farm cut off for several months, which allowed the Kents to say that Clark was their own. No one had any reason to doubt them (Where would you get a newborn kid when your farm is completely cut off?), and after multiple miscarriages, they were just happy that Martha had the child she (and Jon) had wanted.

I believe Millenium changed some of the "behind the scenes" stuff there, but I like to pretend that never happened.

	"I can't see a mention of a tornado in these pages so not sure what context it's referenced." Then it was probably created from Superman: For All Seasons. I just assumed that since a lot of it did take from MOS that the tornado would have been part of it too. (Reply to this) (Parent)
