@superguy1591: You can wish all you want but based on Superman fans I've talked to on here, other online praise and critical reception, it'll only be you who clings to Pak's Action Comics as being written better. Whereas Johns' Superman might turn out to be another equivalent of Green Arrow, a polished turd that shines off all the nastiness of its previous writers. If disavowed New 52 critics are tempted by this issue, then that's ample evidence Johns is capable of restoring the classical tenants of Superman back to the character. Now he's not writing an angry, aggressive rip off from Morrison's Superman, Superman can start being the moral icon he's known for being and Johns is one writer who understands the core and heart of the character.
So, in essence, I guarantee to you that Johns' Superman will blow Pak's Action Comics out the water by far. I'm already liking the sound of it even without having read the issue whereas I never felt that way about Pak's Action Comics at all.
And for the record, you're the one who engaged me here feeling the need to defend your precious Pak. I do like his first Action Comics arc as it was a fresh breath of air. There is some nice characterisation in Superman and Lana. But that's all. Think of any other positives of Pak's run and you'll be hard pressed to do so. Besides, Superman should not be acting as brashly or as erroneously as he does. He's been a hero for 5 years now yet Pak writes him like he's only been on the job for 2. Pak started the ball rolling, now Johns will take over as the new flagship saviour writer for Superman. Not to mention that Unchained is superb too.
