While SWAMP THING came very close to getting my pick of the week, I am pleased to be able to instead choose one of my favourite books, by one of my favourite writers, about my favourite mainstream super-hero.
Ever since All-Star Superman I've been waiting for Supes to become 'cool' again, or for writers to have more ideas to pull him out of the stagnant story telling arena he was in. I don't think that has really happened in the SUPERMAN series. We've been given an average at best story, which I can only hope improves in the next arc.
ACTION COMICS for the most part has been in my top 3 favourite books of the relaunch. Once again, Superman is interesting – we don't know exactly what to expect, or how he will become the Superman of the present day. We're starting to find a lot of that out and I found this issue extremely satisfying for filling in bits of missing information.
OK, big spoiler alert! In this issue, Metropolis has been shrunk and put into a bottle. Sound familiar? Whilst Superman attempts to track down the alien menace responsible, he stumbles across some important revelations, mainly regarding the fate of his home planet, Krypton. Eventually he is given an ultimatum which I found very thrilling. Two bottled cities, and he can only save one. Kandor? Or Metropolis!
Oh and we find out about his armoured costume as well but if anything I found that a little anti-climactic.
Overall, I found the story exciting and satisfying. The dialogue was solid and very amusing at times (“It's just like Under The Dome.. And The Simpsons movie”), and the final page has me all ready for the next issue. Shame it's not for another month, but meh.. Grant Morrsion writing Supers, it's worth the wait.
(Quick after note about the art. I don't really like Rags Morales much but lots of other people do so don't ask me)
