I've enjoyed this run, but I kind of think it should have been released as an OGN or something. All of Morrison's DC stuff has been completely disconnected from the rest of the books, and it's been kind of odd. Either that or Morrison should have done the first six issue origin and then handed it off to someone. I know a lot of folks will be glad to see him go and I won't argue with that sentiment for the above reasons. I'm wondering if there's any truth to that Bleeding Cool article that said Andy Diggle has already left the title.

These books are some of the most confusing stuff I've read.

What's up with that art? The scales are awful - just look at the first panel with Luthor's robot: Superman is stood behind the robot, yet he's about twice the size of Luthor's silhouette in the robot's head.

Plus, the design of the robot looks really bad by today's standards... looks like something from the 50s.

As for Morrison's writing: I've only read Arkham Asylum, A Serious House On Serious Earth. One of the first Batman comics/graphic novels I read. I thought it was fantastic, and got me into collecting Batman.

Has Bizarro appeared in the New 52 yet?

@LEVITIKUZ yeah, I bought it shortly before Arkham City was released. Wanted to get in the mood for Arkham City so decided to replay Arkham Asylum, and it got me interested in the graphic novel. Got hooked after reading it, so I went on to buy Tim Sale's Tales Of The Batman (this compilation of random comic issues, it's pretty good), Year One, The Long Halloween, The Man Who Laughed, Dark Knight Returns and Hush.
In fact, I owe my entire graphic novel collection to those games and Arkham Asylum A Serious House On A Serious Earth. Got a small but awesome collection of Marvel and DC which keeps growing whenever I get enough money to expand it.

I'll admit, the idea behind "Super-Doomsday" is still incredibly stupid to me, and I'd never rank him anywhre near the top as far as interesting new Superman villains go... but he does look cool here.

In fact, I am really looking forward to this issue. Not just because it means the end of Morrison's tenure as a writer at DC Comics (something I've been hoping for for YEARS, thanks to his work on Batman), but because this Action Comics run has honestly been kinda decent... when it didn't skew into needless tangents (WTF was the point of travelling to the future in issue #6 again?), and just stuck to telling a straightforward Superman story.

He's certainly done a better job with the character than anyone that DC's put on the Superman book, I'll give him that much.

But the time has come for him to move on (to whatever bullshit pseudo-scientific acid trip he has in store for independent publishing), and to make room for the new "best writer working on Superman"... SCOTT SNYDER, whose Superman Unchained book has me almost as excited as Man of Steel does!

God, this year is going to be awesome...

Did like the collector of worlds arc but the whole time travel thing was the start of it going down hill.

The funny this is, you've probably haven't read anything by Morrison in your life. At least not with a mind that's saying "Wow this is going to suck because its Morrison"

Give it a [frick]ing break, he writes good shit. You may not like it, but it doesn't mean he sucks.

kids these days... Can't even come up with a good argument, they only state that they think it sucks, and doesn't care to explain why in a general sense.
