Out of all the books that aren't being read, the thing that pisses me off the most is that the new Action Comics story isn't being consumed on mass. We're three issues deep into it and Heroes World still has first prints of Action Comics #856.
The team is solid, you got Geoff Johns rockin' the words and Gary Frank being kick ass on the art, and as of right now it's monthly. SHOCK!
Now for all those who don't like Superman you can go suck a lemon. For those of you who understand that you can still tell a good story with this classic character here's the rundown.
The story is titled "Superman and the Legion of Superheroes" starting in the 30th century with a dying planet and a couple sending their last son off to the world that made way for the galaxies greatest hero. Good call right? but when the baby gets there and some sterile couple in Kansas find it and they do what any responsible earthling would do when an alien baby lands with no one to take care of it... Kill it!
That's just the prologue the rest of the story deals with Superman having to go back to the 30th century (he hasn't been there since he was like 15) and the crazy thing is the sun's red now and also the Legion are rebels because some dick weed said he found proof that Superman was from Earth, and aliens suck.
With art that makes you believe that Superman is real, and a story that just won't stop everyone who's not reading this should be.
As far as why this is actually a good an relevant story it's kind of obvious when you look at the world today. History is written by the victor and people who did bad things to get to good places become heroes, and a hero's legacy isn't what it was due to manipulation. If you don't know what I'm talking about just look at how and who was slandered by the republican party in the last two elections.
Post Script: This is the first of what i hope to be many entries. Thanks to Andrew "never wrong" Wright and the rest of my peoples.
see you in the shop!
