Human Interest Piece 3
This may not have been the most exciting issue of Action Comics published since Grant Morrison took over the book, but it’s well-crafted and has a sentimental charm all its own. By the second page, George Taylor tells you the key to reading this plot: “The story never comes before the people in the story.” True to these words, Morrison uses his issue #0 to flesh out the unique personalities in this version of Metropolis. I’m continually impressed by this New 52 version of Clark Kent. I was perpe...

Although this series has had a few ups and downs I think this is the best point to get back on track and have an amazing last run before Morrison leaves. I really like how Ben Oliver is doing art on this issue as I was a bit disappointed when he stopped doing it for Batwing.This issue shows Clark getting his job at the Daily Star and we see when Clark decided to move into his own apartment. After getting knocked down by an RPG whilst trying to save a woman a kid decides to steal his cape. Lois a...

Prologue 0
I'm excited by the Zero Month. It's a good opportunity to see our heroes in a new, unexpected way: as fallible human beings. In this issue, we learn about Superman's early apperances in Metropolis. It's not in an epic level as Superman and the Men of Steel, but it allows us to know about Clark before his big days as Metropolis' protector.New events include his friendship with Jimmy Olsen, his first meeting with Lois Lane, and the story of how a boy took Superman's cape. Sure, the story was fun b...

True Hero 0
It's an interesting idea to have a zero issue for a series that has basically been a year long zero issue. Because Action Comics has already been set in the past, the zero issue goes further back, to his VERY first appearances as Superman. This issue has one of my favorite Zero Issue covers, with lots of energy and style. It also gives you an idea of what to expect from Ben Oliver's guest art. I didn't really like the way he draws Clark Kent, but everything else was great. It had a kind of dirty...

The Beginning Story worth 2.99, but the backup just adds cost. 0
The Backup Story, or a digital copy usually brings up the price of a comic from 2.99 to 3.99, and in this case, it brings down the comic's rate. The main Morrison story is, in my opinion, the best of his New 52 run, and Ben Oliver's art certainly helps it's case.The Backup is dreadful, however, and I felt that it was a nasty wat to make me spend 3.99. Superman Action Comics 0, is the best Morrison story of the New 52, but the Jurgens, Giffen, Merino arc on Superman is much better. BUY- Yes (Bar...
