Don't read any of these. But If I were a Superhero I would actively seek out a hot chick villain called Masochist to be my nemesis.

I'm all for minority superheroes or with mainsteam characters like Superman and Wonder Woman being black but I think having a black "President Superman" is blatant propaganda. I really wish that comic book creators would realize that not everyone in their demographic is liberal or a fan of President Obama.

@bgg1175 or, you know, it's a character from the Multiverse. One that came way before Miles.

@Mechagino
thanks for bringing that up! Sunshine Supes was from Animal Man. Morrison made him president in Final Crisis. I just like that they are at least going to acknowledge the multiverse in the new 52.

@spindrift

know your stuff before saying something like that. Black Superman was done way before the new Black Ultimate Spider-Man.

lol i love how the masochist's shirt has HURT ME! in big white letters, plus it's good to see Dan Jurgens working on Superman again.

WTF happen to the original story line in Action Comics? i'm sick of this alternate universe shit, i'm dropping this book, the superman books has been a complete failure IMO.

It's so awesome that Barack Obama is in a comic book. At least that's how i see him...:).

@Superguy true MOST of the time but what about Galactus and the Anti Monitor? I mean they both copy but that was a pretty huge one

SteveBosell - 2/13/2012, 1:07 PM
@KNIGHT300 My bad. I had no idea that President Superman had been around for awhile. I'm not a big follower of Superman (just read a few issues as a kid and a few graphic novels) but I know Spider-Man was politicized with Obama so I didn't think it a far stretch for Superman to be politicized.

@rogmel & @alucard365
Action has a few more issue to impress me. Right now it's a jumbled story that could go anywhere. I'm waiting to see how Morrison ties it all together.

Most of these covers are awesome. Superman is in the house... The White House.

I think it's cool that DC kept that parallel version of Superman and didn't get rid of him in the 52 reboot.

Masochist? Really? I think there was even a villain similar to her before the reboot. Her name is escaping me at the moment.

@Just1Superguy That is pretty obvious isn't it? I don't judge, but keep that kind of stuff out of your work.

@rogmel
I do too..but i'll give a few of these books a try. At least we got a decent Aquaman out of this.
