Action Comics #9 - Issue Discussion Thread

I liked how Morrison made this Superman President with Brainiac working for him.

This was the first issue of Action under Morrison I really loved. The characters and concepts were pretty interesting. Hope we get a return to this Earth sometime in the future.

Definitely a fun issue, and more like what I was expecting from Morrison on this book. Not that #1-8 have been bad by any means, but a couple of them didn't have that typical GM zip IMO.

thx

i just ordered An Unlikely Prophet from Amazon.

I'm thinking about doing the same, but there are two versions of it. Is there any difference between them beside the subtitle?

also, the significance of the number 23. i believe this is the first mention of President Superman's earth being given the designation Earth-23.

my local library had Revelations on the Path Without Form, so i put that on hold and ordered A Metaphysical Memoir by the Legendary Writer of Superman and Batman . as for the difference, if any? i shall soon find out.

I'd appreciate if you PM me once you compare them.

Wow. I originally didn't think Action was that good, so I dropped it. Then I decided to give it a second shot because I was intrigued by issue 9. I'm so glad I did! I'm all caught up now and issue 9 was just fantastic. I hope we come back to this Earth sometime in the near future.

We are next issue. This was a done in one.

Right. Sorry, I meant I hope we return to Earth-23 soon.

No actually I'm the one that misinterpreted. Yeah we'll see Earth-23 pretty soon though.

Or



Morrison pays homage to his Airness?

Ok, I know this is kinda trivial considering all the big theories about little men, but did anybody else think that black Wonder Woman was hot? As in, hotter then the regular version?

Not in the slightest!

I hope we never do. Hopefully Darkseid opens a boom tube on it that sends it thru to sun 23 ;)

Haven't been enamored with Action 4-7, but I really enjoyed this issue.
