Action Comics #1068<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Action<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

First story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The artwork is beautiful (especially Superman himself) and the story is well-written and engaging. That said, the story isn’t particularly original, the visuals confused me once or twice, and Superman’s power level seems a bit low (though that could be justified by this story taking place in the past).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Actually more interesting to me than the first, though the artwork isn’t nearly as good (but still good). I love things that focus on Clark’s life as a reporter and this is a unique plot leveraging Lois’ current status as Editor in Chief. It’s good to see a conflict between Lois and Clark that feels fairly serious while still being in-character for both of them, and I’m very intrigued to see the conclusion, including what’s going on with Atomic Skull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batman \/ Superman: World’s Finest #30<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Batman<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Fun, dramatic, and heartwarming with gorgeous art. That said, modern single-issue comic stories tend to be pretty simple and this is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superman #17<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Superman<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I love to see Superman angry. Great art too. But as is often the case with modern comics, it doesn’t feel like enough happens. It’s not a chapter of a story, it’s a sliver. But it’s a good sliver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
