30 Second Review - Action Comics Vol 2 #6
I just don’t get it. Action Comics Vol 2 has ALL of the separate pieces to make an amazing comic: arguably DC’s most famous superhero, a clean slate for story writing, and a veritable wonder team in the comic industry (Morrison, Kubert, and Dell). Yet it still doesn’t quite hit the mark.
I think ultimately, this series is experiencing an identity crisis of sorts. It seems like it feels the need (rightly so) to bring newcomers into the Superman experience. Conversely though, DC also wants to bring fresh material to the die-hard fans. Which leaves the comic in an awkward place of trying to please both worlds. The resulting story is a bit of a mess covering a variety of flashbacks and (*sigh*) a time bubble.
Yup, that’s right. Time bubble.
Sorry die-hard Superman fans, I’m probably being a little too harsh. If so, I sincerely apologize. I just want more than this. What specifically? Well for starters, I want deeper character development. Show me the flaws of Supe’s seemingly perfect character.
Oh well. Perhaps that’s all yet to come. We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, I won’t be holding my breath.
Final Verdict: C+
