I thought the whole idea behind the new 52 was to sort out confusing shit like this.

Worst New 52 title, completely goes against the idea of making the New 52 accessible... 'Action Comics' sucks as does 'Superman', even 'Superman: Unchained' is kinda shit... Shame they can't get Big Blue right...

Do they really show Superman karate kicking someone? I just recently dropped "Superman" from my subscription list, hoping that Superman: Unchained and Action Comics here can cover my Super-reading needs

Cause Scott Lobdell wasn't doing enough of a shit job with the Superman title, DC, in their infinite wisdom, decide to give him AC as well.

Or is it perhaps Orcs in space.

DC, please apologize to Mark Waid for whatever you did so he can fix the mess you've made of Superman

I can't wait til Greg Pak takes over this series.

Damn you Lobdell.

@Splenda damn it would be nice to get Waid back.

Unchained is pretty good. And so was Action Comics up until that one where all those multicolored guys came out of nowhere (I still don't know what that arc was about).

I just hope Morrison doesn't make Wonder Woman Earth-One into an acid trip.
