More from the DC New 52 this time the home of Superman, Action Comics. Now when Superman’s eyes are glowing red you know he’s pissed and that’s how it all starts. Superman is the most famous of all the comic book Hero’s followed closely by Batman and Spider-man with this new reboot we see how the Metropolis Police are after Superman and because its a reboot they don’t fully know what his powers are or what he can do and people tend to fear what they don’t understand so naturally they try to take superman down with no success.
When you fist see superman you notice that this is a slight change to his attire. instead of the famous suit that he wears he has a t-shirt with the famous S, the signature cape but instead of the blue tights he wears blue jeans. this makes the character look like he is just new to the crime fighting game, even if the army are after him in tanks.we also get to see the new Lex Luthor who is as he always was, big bad and bald. he also has as always some of the best dialogue in the comic finishing with “I give you, superman!” this is always great to hear and also shows maybe the start of the rivalry between superman and Lex.
Some people may find it strange that Superman’s arch nemesis has no powers but its always played well with the mind over muscle routine superman always ruses in to save the day but can forget it comes with a price, this shows us how human superman has become.
This is another great read and a great start for superman, don’t want to give any spoilers away again but Lois is back but a few changes has been made also Clark makes reference to the farm on Smallville maybe indicating that his childhood has stayed the same also want to say about the city. Like Gotham City, Metropolis has a sort of magic about it something im always happy to see is fictional cities in comics and not real cities like New York as it adds to the fantasy and gives the comic a lot more character Metropolis being a huge industrial city from the 1920’s movie of the same name is perfect for superman and the likes of Gotham being dark and Gothic for batman. Another great start for the DC New 52.
