If you ever played Crackdown and remember watching your vehicle upgrade, he has an extremely loosely defined ability to do that to any [motor?] vehicle.

Or if Pimp My Ride was a show where each person's car was changed not by a team of mechanics and body shop wunderkinds but by Xzibit's Midas touch, that is Overdrive.

Wait, how the hell did a mob boss's injection do that? That's so broadly defined and magical! It's like if an amateur chemist mixed some prescription drugs together and created the Green Lantern ring.

Amateur chemists mixing drugs together is how like half the DCU got their powers. Don't hate.

Overdrive's powers come from a similar source as Cloak's and Dagger's and considering what the two of them can do Overdrive is pretty underpowered. Nano-bacteria isn't as potent as synthetic heroin...?

Didn't the original Flash get his powers by getting sleepy in the Chem Lab and mixing the wrong beakers?

The idea of Superman and Lois crossing continuities is complicated (read about Convergence and the Lois and Clark miniseries,) but the comic it's self is past that and telling it's own story so far.
While Action Comics is doing the traditional big battles, this is more concerned about the family and Superman raising his Superkid. It's very sweet and has great artists.

I would read a mini-series about Batman following Clark around just to do stuff like that without him knowing to get him in trouble. Would have been a better way to handle BvsS anyway

It's been completely self contained so far. Its a great balance of nice family moments and the whole family fighting the Eradicator on the Moon.

I like that the down to Earth family book is also the one that introduced Batman's secret moon-Batcave, guarded by robotic bats.

Dunno how much it matters, but after I don't know how long of enjoying this thread, it actually got me to buy something on Comixology. I got the Ms. Marvel bundle, and if/once there's a Gwenpool bundle I might get that too. The latter is what actually got me interested in getting anything, but seeing there's no Gwenpool bundle yet while there's one for Kamala I decided to start out with her story.

I read that free Batman issue that was handed out last week(end) for Batman day. Some joker had Tom's name on it for some reason. He should sue for slander, because the Batman issue was just awful. It's like if someone 8 years old wrote for Batman.

"What if, Batman jumped off a building, into the Batmobile, which rocketed him into the sky, and then he lassos a plane, uses rockets to steer it, and gets it into the water?"

That Tom King should sue whoever that joker is! I'm glad Marvel Tom King only wrote the one series.
