CANNOT believe they stretched this out for another issue. Was so looking forward to Morrison's crappy arc to be over

Morrison is a mad man, but he's working it all together. All the loose ends are tying up, can't wait to see how it ends.

Also, would've been great to see Sholly Fisch take over for Grant. The man writes a great Superman. Hope he gets a shot at writing Supes one day.

Kent's never quit.

His back-ups are more of a treat than Grant's books.

I dare miss the final issue, Josh, but I will be celebrating.

Thank God I can't wait to buy Action Comics again.

Somebody please count up the number of times Josh has recently given something a 4 or 5 star review..and now count up the number of times Josh uses the phrase "the likes of" in a sentence rather than just saying "for example," "including," or "among other things," or just referencing the work or person directly.

And then watch him get butthurt or delete my post because it hurts his poor ickle feelings. Better yet, post a few yourself, and watch him go nuts. It's kind of funny, really.

This looks either like a real bad or a real awesome acid trip.

I get where Grant is going with all this and I don't hate his Action run but it seems like he didn't learn anything from that last issue of final crisis. If they ever make a collection of this run, maybe they can release an untangled version. Also, we still don't know exactly why this fifth dimension dude hates Superman.

Superman has pretty boring in recent years with the one-two punch of Superman Returns and New 52.


Let's hope Snyder & Snyder change that this year both on film and in the comics.

for real, retire the "stunning' headline.
it gets our hope up.

this is some mediocre crayola bullshit right here.

unfortunately, stunning, in Josh's vocabulary, seems to refer to "any drawing, resembling a superhero, for which the artist received pay by a comic book publisher."

Stunning???? This looks like shit...it's a jumbled mess and the artwork is absolutely shitty! I could do better than that

Stunning is going waaaaayyyy overboard. That is not an attractive piece in the least

Final issue of Action Comics???

Wow! Superman has his hands full! That's a great design with his cape being connected to his other selves.

I think that's really interesting and well executed.
