This is extremely disappointing, I was actually expecting Diggle to make his own hting in AC not to follow whatever Editorial mandate comes out at the time

anyone wanna guess who it is?

Based on the black stuff coming from her hand, my guess is Eclipso. Maybe the Black Hand (but I doubt it)

Blackrock maybe? thats kinda his bag.

Though I enjoyed Morrison's Action Comics #15, I think Andy Diggle will redeem the title. It has been fairly boring. Can't wait! And that AC cover looks amazing!

@arnoldoaad: He already mentioned that this is just for the first run, after the H'El on Earth and Oracle stuff is over he's going to do his own thing.

I still dont like it, I think that is a bad start for his own run

and is not diggle's fault, this is pure editorial incompetency

Love most of Morrisons work but wasn't feeling Action,think I might give this a shot.I liked Diggle's Lex back in Batman confidential and Daniels art is always great.Not feeling this Oracle thing though.

Things certainly look up for the Superman Family titles it seems! Thankfully they are one of the few New 52 titles I've been on board with since the beginning.
