Superman #3

Sounds like a quote after the first 3 issues of Grounded... (except for the "I liked this issue" part)...

I like Action because it is featuring a Superman story that's actually different than anything that has come before.

The Superman title just feels like the story after Grounded. Save a few minor tweaks I can't really tell what's different. Seems kinda dumb to claim a rebooted Superman when the only thing different is marital status and the color of the cod piece.

Read much Morrison? He doesn't give you a story that hasn't come before, he gives you a rehash of their greatest hits with his unique spin on it.

Umm....did Jonathan hook up with Lara on Krypton?

I always thought Jor El was was Clark/Kal's biological father and that Jonathan was his adoptive Earth dad....making him a stepdad?

No, that makes him an adoptive dad. Step dads are moms post-dad husbands.

I will update my personal dictionary.

Did you ever read vol. #1 #190? See any similarities? Not saying I am not enjoying it....surpisingly, I am. I just thought maybe it was an inspiration.

I am kind of iffy on this issue. On the one hand I didn't mind the dialogue, as I like plenty of it in my comics, but I am starting to wish there was a little more development of the overall plot. I also wanted an alternative romance interest, which seemed to be taken away pretty quickly. Still I enjoyed it, but hope it moves a little quicker next few issues.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if this team is waiting for the team in Action comics to finish their story arc. Maybe there is something preventing Perez from going in any direction character wise because the Action story isn't finished yet. Just a thought.

The story has to come to some kind of conclusion soon cause Perez last issue is 5 or 6, I think.

But that cover to issue 4 is gorgeous.

Not a bad issue, but this has definitely been my least favorite of my re-reading of the New 52 Superman. There was some decent action between Superman and the ice alien, but there was just waaaaay too much boring discussion doing on in the newsroom and not enough meat on the bones, plus the art seemed to feel a little flat thanks to the guest artist not being nearly as good as Merino. Overall I just wasn't feeling issue #3 like I did with the spectacular first issue and the amazing second issue, I wonder how the rest of the series will fare with my re-reading, I hope a lot better than issue #3, that's for sure.
