If this doesnt become one of your favorite Grant Morrison stories, or one of your favorite Superman stories, Id be highly surprised. This issue definitely wont appeal to the Morrison-haters. But those of us who enjoy the mans craziness will get their moneys worth here. Action Comics #9 is a story I could read over and over again. I want more Obama Superman, dammit! Read Full Review

Finally, the backup story is an enjoyable read. It too focuses on Earth-23 Superman on a slightly smaller scale adventure. Writer Sholly Fisch explores the sometimes conflicting responsibilities a president/superhero faces and suggests the character is headed for a reckoning at some point in the future. If that means more of the character in Morrison's run, I'm all for it. Read Full Review

Cully Hamner, one of my favorite artists, provided the art for the back-up feature. Great stuff there. Still, after this philosophy lesson, I am ready to read more about the E1 Superman. Read Full Review

All in all, though, this issue was a solid read. Read Full Review

On the other hand, this comic slipped out last week and seems to have flown under everyone's radar, so maybe this will go down as one of the all-time examples of a comics writer biting the hand that feeds him an getting away with it. But even if DC is still going to let him get away with this kind of thing, I can't imagine Morrison wanting to let them for much longer. A better universe awaits. Read Full Review

Easily the most fun I've had on this series since it relaunched; now this is the Morrison-penned Superman comic we've been waiting for. Read Full Review

Might this be a huge new story that will eventually involve the standard Superman, or could we hope this could be a spin-off series of its own? Or will the next several issues of Action Comics be devoted to various other alternate Earths? Who knows? It's Grant Morrison. Read Full Review

This was not the best issue and not the worst issue I have ever read. This probably qualifies as the worst issue of the current New 52 Action run, however. Considering what it has been up against to this point, that still puts it in the above-average category, and I hope that if there are more stories with POTUS Superman, they are a bit more interesting.

Initially I was a tiny bit disappointed that we'd once again zoomed away from the main narrative in "Action Comics," but this issue was enough fun that by the end of the lead story I didn't mind any more. I am ready, though, to see the back-up stories dropped (and perhaps the page count and price along with them). They're starting to distract now and while Fisch and company have turned out some nice enough pieces before, I'd rather see them on a different project. Read Full Review

Better luck with your next publicity stunt, DC. Read Full Review

Reading ACTION COMICS is getting to feel like riding a roller coaster. Some issues are highs (and great to read) while others dip down a bit. This is one of the dips. Having an issue focused on the Superman from Earth 23 is interesting and gives us a chance to see more of the character Grant introduced during FINAL CRISIS. While the story is nice to see, Superman as President, it feels like a filler issue. Have we come to expect too much from Grant Morrison these days or is there just something I'm absolutely missing here? This issue was fun at times and a curious read. It just didn't feel like it fit in as an entire issue of ACTION COMICS. Read Full Review

Calvin Ellis and the introduction to multiverse was an interesting idea but the representation race swapped earth which was revealed in the end is not at all my cup of tea.
