Getting used to change is not my strong suit, so it’s kind of wonder why I enjoy Grant Morrison so much. In particular, his transformative-mind-fuck treatments of well established icons like Batman, Superman, and Doom Patrol. After finally reading Morrison’s All-Star Superman this year, my expectations for Action Comics #1 were considerably higher than any of the other books in my “New 52” stack this week. Well after finishing the first issue, I can confidently say that it was not my favorite book in the stack. Superman is wearing jeans, he’s cocky, I don’t know where the hell we are in the timeline or if this is even part of an existing one, and there wasn’t much character development if it isn’t part of a timeline. But hell, who am I to complain? It was just the first issue, I still enjoyed the book, and I understand that Morrison is far better known for his expansive story arcs than one-shots. His books are best taken in like a David Lynch film; don’t ask questions–just take the damned ride.
