It’s Zero Year in Superman’s Action Comics! And it starts
off Superman trying to stop a hurricane without most of his powers.
The Good
This is the issue I was really anticipating because it was
being written by Greg Pak. The wonderful writer whose written all those great
Hulk and Hercules books. Anyways as I read this issue, he already does a great
job with a young Superman. I really like the cockiness Superman who thinks he’s
good at everything when he knows he’s not. I also liked that we really get to
see the struggle that Superman gets when dealing with his powers. It really
shows how much he’s grown and how young and immature this Superman can be. This
is what was definitely missing with Grant Morrison’s story with Superman and
it’s the reason I even barely liked it. I kind of hope /wish he continues
writing young Superman because he’s really good at this. Even though the art
was bad at times there was times it was really good especially at the splash
pages with the hurricane.
The Bad
I really didn’t like this interpretation of Lana Lang. She
was really indecisive and a jerk, I couldn’t tell if she really liked Clark or
she was happy or scared from saving people from the boat. I know she was this
way in Smallville TV series which is why didn’t like here there. I only seem to
like Lana in Superman the Animated Series. So, maybe that is her character. The
art was also very inconsistent, she had totally different looks from the main
and short story and some the small panels were really bad too.
Verdict
I give this issue a 4/8 of 5/10 stars. The story was a
little okay on the hurricane part. It was just the personality and the
struggles that Greg did on Superman I really liked. It’s Superman you have wanted
to read for a very long time. The short story is also something to look forward
to in the next issue. So, this is
definitely an issue worth picking up and keep tuning in.
