Now this is what I call a comic book. It's not exactly the greatest comic book I have ever read, probably pretty far from it to say the least, but as opposed to a couple other comic books on my pull list this week, it is actually a comic book that is rue to itself in form.
The art which is not super fantastic in any form, but justifiable for a comic book. It's not all glossy fancy smancy that makes the people look more real then cartoon. I hate it when they push a book back a million years just to give it super realistic visuals, while the story still lacks. This is definitely not the case here. Action Comics #873 is full of fun cartoony artwork. It is a comic book, not National Geographic.
The action wasn't anything spectacular either, but a hell of a lot more interesting then watch Nightwing and Ra's Al Ghul going at it while bitching at each other like a couple of preteens from The Babysitters Club series. This book had me going from page to page just trying to get it all in. I loved it. And the formation of the city of Kandor from a little town on an ice cube into a great big planet was pure science fiction in a way, things you're supposed to see in a Superman story.
I'm glad this New Krypton story finally got up and went somewhere, I was slightly dissappointed in a couple of it's installments, but now they seem to be all worth while. I was getting close to dropping Superman comics altogether a few issues back, but it seems as if New Krypton blew some new life into these titles' lungs. I hear that there is a new mini series entitled New Krypton and it looks like I just might buy it up even if I don't stick with Superman and Action which are supposed to be more about supporting characters in the future (which has me a little skeptical but we'll just have to wait and see). Over and out.
