    A Good old Traditional Superman story, with a Twist!

    This issue is pretty interesting. The introduction of Superman and his world, was obviously solely up to Action Comics which gives this issue a chance to tell a full story. Which is not a bad story either. Couched in the environment that hits close to my heart; the fight between print and digital media. The whole big fiery monster thing, a trope that exists for Superman and Green Lantern stories. Is used as all most an aside to further deepen the connection between the characters and shows what might have been lost or missing from the Action Comics premier.

    Not sure if this is quite the same Superman as the one in Action Comics; but it might have just been a function of the story. It was an excellent story and certainly one that needed to be told. While I would have liked to see a few more pages of actual action or explanation of said fire creature. But that's all right. Hopefully as the first issue, this will simply be a jumping off point rather than a means to an end.

      The Good: I'm actually loving the metaphor here. The old Daily Planet building is being torn down to make room for a new, more modern one. Basically the same, but with some noticeable updates. And there's a big speech about how just because the building' changing, doesn't mean people need to panic. It's going to be the same newspaper it always was. The interior art is pretty cool, I definitely enjoyed it. The subtle mystery weaved into the background is prety compelling, and sets up an interesti...
