May 3, 2012 6:42 pm fantastic issue!
April 13, 2012 5:02 pm and thats the problem. too many people seem to want the "symbol". the "icon". instead of a well rounded character. someone with recognizable human characteristics. that thinking leads to such a rigid set of parameters, that the character can not deviate without someone calling foul! that is what makes the character hard to write. not his powers. and you aren't in the minority for liking ACTION COMICS. it's one of DC's top selling titles.
April 10, 2012 5:47 pm perceptions can be funny things. where are the claims of "cocky and arrogant" coming from? I've seen people referring to the new stuff as "dark and edgy" or "emo" as well. where is all this in the new superman books? i see a character who is now being given something akin to a HUMAN/HEROIC personality. no longer the super doormat of years past. no longer the indecisive self doubter. no longer the tabula rasa of recognizable characteristics. but as much as people complain about how boring that character is/has been...thats what they want a return to? because that has obviously done so well for the superman books for years. really burning up the sales chart! what i'm seeing is a confident, kind (to those that deserve it), man of action. one who has a sense of humor. one who stands up for what he believes in. a little rough around the edges maybe but thats fine.. one can still be a good person and have all these traits. i for one look up to people who can combine all of that into a decent whole. the character is between a rock and a hard place. damned if he does and damned if he doesnt. people want him to be saintly good. but then dismiss him because they cant relate. bu then he is slightly depowered, as in ACTION right now, and he is given mannerisms to which they can relate and people think he is a jerk. cant joke because he isnt spider-man. cant be tough because he isnt batman. when the truth is, he was BOTH of those characters before they even existed. so its not like there isnt precedent. but wait! its not the 1930s anymore! well, it isnt 50's either. when the version of the character you "grew up with" pretty much solidified. morrison has been throwing in ideas and future story nuggets left and right. and i am more than excited to see how it all plays out. ACTION COMICS has been the best it has been in a while.
