This might be the best Superman fan-fiction I’ve ever seen. Hell, it’s better than most of the Superman stories DC is putting out nowadays.
How do we nominate the Weedhorse69 Saga for an Eisner? Because the Imgur post that plays out a text message conversation between Jimmy Olsen and an artist friend who deserves the highest awards that comics can give. (And who is implied to be artist Green Lantern Kyle Rayner.)
What I love most about this short story is how, like American Alien, it interprets Superman for today. He comes across as chill, friendly and well-adjusted. A little square, maybe, but that’s in line with how he’s been portrayed over the years. I really hope someone on DeviantArt is drawing that Justice League band image. We need to see what J’onn J’onzz on keyboards looks like.
The Weedhorse Saga is the work of a Tumblr user who goes by Unpretty. Kudos to her!

I’m confused.
I’m with stupid ^
Nah seriously though, I’m confused here too.
Hey xyppiatt, @beakeroo – There’s a few links on the article but http://imgur.com/a/czaDD is the only important one worth looking at.
The post is a pretend screen-capture of an in-universe conversation.
The white messages are from friend-of-superman Jimmy Olsen, talking to an artist friend of his named Kyle – sending the green messages – who has unexpectedly become ‘internet famous’ for his Justice League fan-art.
…The most notable of which was apparently very NSFW.
Jimmy is breaking the news to Kyle that he knows Superman (and others) have seen the fan-art and have Opinions.
The artist quite understandably freaks out at this news.
Haha it’s pretty funny actually. Just convert it to real world analogues if you’re confused – some artist is drawing pictures of say, Connor McGregor and a bunch of the UFC fighters in compromising poses. Then through their boyfriend they discover that Connor McGregor has actually seen them.
As for the band as a pic… https://www.google.com.au/search?q=justice+league+as+a+band&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwig4-HNhMDMAhUB6aYKHXnyDpQQsAQIMA&biw=2560&bih=1325
