They did something with Queen Bee a little before Flashpoint. New 52: old stories in a 90s package

@Martian face is because he is young in New 52. Costume is stupid tho.

Well Superman is supposed to be a much younger man as opposed to someone hitting middle age.

I'm still trying to decide which Superman books are still worth reading. I currently get Superman, Action Comics, Superman Unchained, and Superman/Batman - seems like a bit much for 1 character.

i think i'll stick with superman unchained but saying that,even that could be better.

batman/superman by jae lee is probably the best of the bunch.

Nice art, I don't really care for Roarcraft but Eddy Barrows is amazing, too bad they took him off Nightwing.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks Supes looks like he's 18 in this, seriously I know he's supposed to look like he's younger but come on.

As far as best books, Action sucks, Superman is hit and miss, Batman/Superman just started, so definitely hands down the best Superman book out there now is unchained.

This is an absolute joke of a book. How Scott Lobdell got the Superman book gig I'll never no. Absolutely terrible writer.

Thank god for Superman Unchained.

@Martian - I agree. It makes it hard to read some of DC's "New 52" comics. The male and female faces are interchangeable.

I want to read SuperMAN, not SuperSexualAmbiguity

[frick] the haters, Lobdell is doing a good job on Superman. Didn't like his Action Comics issue much, but this series is one of his better runs so far.

@ splenda, agreed! Lobdells writing has been hit or miss, with misses under his belt than anything else. Rocafort's art is the main reason i'm continuing this series. Change lobdell and keep rocafort on the title.

The black and white cover looks like Queen Bee is bottomless and is consoling Supes after wearing him out lol.

At least Unchained is semi decent but everything else Superman has been in has been pretty bad so far, the first arc in Justice League was ok but other than that, it has been meh.

rbfn04 - 7/24/2013, 7:30 AM
@HavocPrime it's because New 52's DC doesn't get Superman.

Ed Barrows art looks dated, really bad - his Clark Kent is mezzo Harry Potter and Dick Grayson, I don't know!!!

Too bad Rocafort is out!

And I absolutely agree with the majority of readers here - Lobdell has a terrible writing.
