Okay, I don't want to say this too loud but here goes. Action Comics is the last DC book I got left in this weeks stack AND I liked it better then ALL FOUR Bat-books I read this week (Batman, Outsiders Special, Confidential, Final Nightwing)!!!! WOW, I really didn't see that one coming at me!
But then again, the way things are starting to look, there is going to be a really big switcharoo coming at that scenario. As Batman books are about to look a whole lot more interesting with the end of the Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader wrapping up and Battle For The Cowl finally jumping off, it looks like good times in Action are about to go on a hiatus as the new Nightwing and Flamebird take over as well as boring old Guardian taking over in the Superman title!! How the hell is a book called, "Superman" not going to have Superman?!?! Well things don't look totally bleak for the Kryptonian boy scout, the 12 issue Superman: World Of New Krypton is about to make way!!
So I'm not sure which of my favorite DC icons will be more fun this year, but one thing is for sure, I am going to be picking up a lot of fucking DC books as usual! I'm just not sure which ones will be more enjoyable!
Anyway, I'm getting way ahead of myself! Action Comic #874 might be my DC pick of the week, but I didn't read Amazing Spiderman #586 or Incognito #2 yet, so I still haven't decided if I should make it THE Pick Of The Week yet. It starts out with a BANG though. Superman is flipping the fuck out!! He isn't happy about Zod's pardon one bit, and I don't blame him. Zod is a shady mofo! Nonetheless, Superman's power is only equal to everybody else's on New Krypton, so he can't really say shit about it. Alura (Supergirl's Momdukes and Superman Aunt) pardoned Zod and that's the way it's going to be. But that definitely isn't the end of the issue. Oh, and did I mention, Zod looks a lot like a Russian communist!! Isn't that some silly type shit?!
MAJOR SPOILER: General Lane and Superman arch-nemesis Lex Luthor are now not only in possession of Braniac, but they also have his ship now too! I can't wait to see what kind of shit they are going to brew up with that! Then we get a quick minute with everybody's favorite dork Jimmy Olsen as some butthead at the offices of Daily Planet gives him so gay lecture about how certain digits can look like four letter words when you turn your calculator upside down. Oh cool, whatever!!
Then Superman grips up Lois Lane from up top of the building and they are off to get some solitude, and probably some snuggle time until they figure out that the Phantom Zone is collapsing and that Mon-El dude needs to get his ass out of there. Not too sure what happens after that...
Sappy Guardian story in the back. They say Guardian is the character taking over Superman's Superman title so I hope nothing important to the main Superman stories is going to happen there because I really want to drop it! I can't stand Guardian. I couldn't even stand him when I was a chubby little dork 7th grader, I definitely won't like him almost 20 years later!! I might be able to deal with Nightbird and Flamewing though, maybe. Definitely on for World of New Krypton though, and I can't fucking wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
