Im generally curious, I didn't read the Action Comics arc....I read the All Star Superman #7,#8, and I consider them the worst of the All Star Superman Issues so far.
It wasn't the dialog in the issues, I just generally found myself burned out on Bizarro at this point. Zibarro was a neat idea, one I hadn't considered before, and the use of the Underverse was unique explanation, but my attention wasn't held as great as the other fantastic Issues. I just felt it was a break in my awe of rest of Morrison issues, and after the single best Comic of 2006(since it came out in January) in All Star Superman #6, those issues suffered for it (IMO).
and for the sake of having a discussion.
Why was it a better read? What made it better? Compare and Contrast the two. What generally did you find more entertaining? Why didn't you find the All Star Superman as good as read? Why did you find All Star Superman more creative?
Edit: Since both Issues deals with Bizarro Justice League, I am also wondering if you have ever read Superman #379 before?

Morrison seemed to be adding new or less obvious things to the Bizarro World concept (mainly with Zibarro), whereas Johns's effort felt really safe & by-the-numbers by comparison. For one, Zibarro in All-Star at least finally gave Superman someone new to interact with outside the usual suspects in Metropolis, Smallville, & the JLA. Also, I don't think Johns is really very good at the kind of weirdness or humor Morrison seems to specialize in (comparing the two Bizarro JLA's especially seems to drive this point home for me).

The All-Star Superman Bizarro World reminded me of post-Crisis stories where they tried to give pseudo-scientific explanations to old "silly" concepts. The addition of Zibarro was a nice twist, but overall I thought they were the weakest issues of the series.
I didn't read the Action arc.
