I don't want to drop this series because it IS Action Comics, but here's hoping Morrison tones down Supes more renegade behavior. Like I said, I'm fine with Bats or Apollo acting like that, but Supes is supposed to be a bit more virtuous, no?x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-89305374845430627082011-09-08T15:43:24.238-04:002011-09-08T15:43:24.238-04:00Truth be told...

But yeah, especially since he was a reporter, he had to know that whatever confession he got from Glenmorgan as Supes COULDN'T hold up! I didn't think it was awful, but compared to the other rebooted titles I read yesterday, I definitely enjoyed Action the least. I now know I won't love Action, but I'm still hopeful Superman is better!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-67437727705159937652011-09-08T08:43:16.235-04:002011-09-08T08:43:16.235-04:00I liked the issue.

The torture scene doesn't bother me that much because I've heard that Morrison based this version off of the Golden Age version, and that dude was a "little" rough with the baddies. Plus, it's a young Superman, though I would at least think that he would have known that you can't force someone to admit to a crime like that.Oh well. I hope issue 2 is as just as good or better.arw1985https://www.blogger.com/profile/02413390156820607302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-24977134614232373592011-09-07T23:19:37.771-04:002011-09-07T23:19:37.771-04:00Lisha!

I can't wait to hear what JT thought about this comic and that scene in particular.

Soon as I read that in your review I was like "What the fuck?" Every word of it too. <br /><br />I think JT picked this up after changing his mind about getting it, I wonder if he'll be thinking the same thing as you, Lol. I don't know how I feel about this issue of Action comics. It sounds good, but that Superman torturing thing is just really annoying me. I hope the next issue is much better for you. :)Falisha Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298555562761767317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-12032108548920667402011-09-07T22:06:30.236-04:002011-09-07T22:06:30.236-04:00HA!

I wonder if Morrison was watching Spidey 2 when he wrote the script for this one?<br /><br />Really? Interesting. If the two of us were able to pick up on it, then there must have been LOTS of people who also picked up on the similarities.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-91653126923654944402011-09-07T22:01:57.092-04:002011-09-07T22:01:57.092-04:00The scene with the train is the same of Spider-man...The scene with the train is the same of Spider-man 2 movie..<br /><br />I think that Paul wrote almost the same thought about the spider resemblances at his BlogAliendw700https://www.blogger.com/profile/09167984702531185247noreply@blogger.com
