So since I will have some extra income starting in September I
figured I should add some books to my pull list. After reading some
interviews with James Robinson and hearing about how good the first
issue of John’s Brainiac arc in Action Comics was I suddenly have two
new books to look forward to each month. Perhaps it is because I have a
dog of my own, but the first few pages of this issue made me fall in
love with Krypto; Robinson did an excellent job with these scenes. The
dialogue between Superman and Hal Jordan was handled nicely too, and
kind of boiled Superman down to his essence. Most of the issue deals
with members of the Science Police, and these scenes are okay, but they
will seem like kind of a waste unless these people play an important
role in this storyline. We get pretty much standard fare here with the
SP, a big strong guy beating everyone up and demanding Superman to face
him, but Robinson has me convinced I should stick around on this title.
The art really impressed me too so hopefully we don’t have to deal with
fill-ins anytime soon.
