I wasn't expecting much from this volume, but the Superman story was quite innovative, with a narrative angle I wasn't expecting at all. It's really kind of a scary what if about Superman's origins. He is not the man we know but that doesn't mean he doesn't come into his own as much as he's able. I ...
My first official JSA graphic novel. I admit I avoided these for a while because I thought they were all set in the early 20th century, and I am turned off by that dated 50s morality feel. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this takes place in the modern period, where time has passed, a...
This version of Grant Morrison's Superman has its moments, and I thought it was leaps and bounds above All-Star Superman, which I basically loathed, but I felt like the coherency of the storytelling and my interest in same dropped sharply a few issues in. I really liked the side stories about Steel,...
I was shocked by how much I liked the first volume of New 52's Action Comics. Because honestly, I don't really care for Superman. But Morrison had been able to make the guy interesting, without straying too far from what I think of as the core of the character. Alas, no such luck here. Maybe I just ...
This volume is definitely a placeholder. Key plot elements for future volumes are set up, but that's about it. While it contributes greatly to some of the more awesome elements of [b:Action Comics, Vol. 3: At The End of Days|17671911|Action Comics, Vol. 3 At The End of Days|Grant Morrison|http://d....
Not a bad reboot for the franchise. Unlike most of the fanboys, the name of Grant Morrison gives me great trepidation. I don't believe him the golden child most fans think he is. Whether it's poor editing or just poor scripting, I had huge problems with Final Crisis and his work on Batman before the...
I am so thankful for Goodreads First Reads for allowing me to get this book. I have not yet had a chance to read it but once I do I will be sure to update this review.
I had misgivings on this based on The Last Angry Geek's review of the first issue. I shouldn't have been so concerned. This is a really good start to the series, and I'm definitely going to read the next trade.
This is the kind of thing Morrison can do when he keeps himself in check. He can take a tired, worn out, overpowered character like Superman and remake him from the ground up, exactly as he was originally intended to be. This is a Superman who has faults, isn't omnipotent, and has a passion for soci...
