OK Octopus posted:One of my favorite Superman stories that I reread from time to time is Action Comics #775, "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way?" For anyone who hasn't read it, an X-TREME team of Authority-esque super-Punishers starts cleaning up the world in a way that is definitely outside the classical sense of what makes a hero a hero. Superman, who views their actions as a direct affront to what he represents, takes it upon himself to stop them even though he honestly doesn't believe he can. OK Octopus, are you aware of the animated feature version of Action 775 (Superman Vs. The Elite) coming out next year?

Space_Butler posted:Some rumor mongering from you-know-who, but he's claiming that Andy Diggle might be taking over Action Comics from Morrison. I'm not at all familiar with his work, is this potentially a good thing or should I be prepping to drop AC from my pull list after January?

I think I liked Sholly's backup more than the main issue, which was already pretty great!

MoreMetalBrian posted:I've started reading DC comics again, after a long time away. So far, I've read a decent amount of the Superman stuff in the OP, but I was wondering if someone could recommend a Superman story written in a similar vein as All Star Superman. On the other-side of the spectrum, I really enjoyed All Star Batman and Robin, so something like that would also work. Kingdom Come, also by Waid Superman Beyond 3D, by Morrison Superman Adventures #41 by Millar Superman for All Seasons by Loeb & Sale Red Son by Millar Superman/Batman Annual #1 by Joe Kelly It's not *as* good as rear end (but what is), but Morrison's Action Comics run is pretty solid from beginning to end, and hampered by some not-up-to-par art every so often. redbackground fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Dec 19, 2014 |

Red posted:I'm new to this thread, but figured this was the place to ask: Is there a general consensus on Superman's, say, top villains? I don't want to pigeonhole him to just 10, or force people to name 10, but it seems like, more than anyone else, the scale of Superman's enemies is all over the place, from mortal to God. Don't forget Mxy!
