The Superman art has really stepped up!
So much better than when new 52 started.

Superman Unchained is going to be one of the best titles for The New 52. I'm so hyped for it!

Superman Unchained looks like a bit of a rip off not worth the price if it is only 32 pages and still needs a back up.

Unchained is a rip off, 4 bucks for only 32, no way, way to become a Marvel rip off, too bad I was excited about this title.

Batman/ Superman the same, not worth 4 bucks, especially since that art is atrocious.

Superman looks good.

Action comics is also sad, I was so happy to put it on my pull list when Morrison left but now that Diggle left Im not sure, depends who the new team will be, wonder who DC will put on one of their essential titles.

Superman Unchained looks epic. Really can't wait for my favourite two people in comics atm to work together.

Also, @Fastestmanalive
Don't complain that you get a 32-page for $3.99 in the States.
I have to pay at least $6 for a $2.99 in Australia.

Superman hasn't really had it easy since the New 52 started, and this is coming from a New 52 apologist. He's gotten crappy writers (Grant Morrison's Action Comics wasn't bad, just confusing and not for new readers, along with the fact Morrison has been writing Batman for too long and started writing Clark like that), not getting a good focus in Justice League (a good book, at the very least), separating from Lois (my favorite female character in comics), being shoe-horned into a stupid romance, and having constant creative shifts, not to mention the writers killing off Ma and Pa Kent. I hope Snyder can rectify the problems that have plagued nuSuperman, because there is potential.

Because of Superman Unchained, I am definitely going to start buying comics again. I didn't stop because I didn't like the New 52, but because of money. Superman Unchained looks well worth the price though.

i'm glad the title is now Batman/superman

Batman kicks superman's ass anytime!!!

DC gave Scott Lobdell BOTH AC AND SUPERMAN?!!

Like he wasn't [frick]ing up the Superman title enough? Jesus H. Christ!!! At least Kenny's back, because Scott's writing makes me want to bang my head into a steel door.
