They have no idea what to do with this series. So they plugged in Waid's story in to tread water until they are done the other story in the main book. Superboy story isn't bad but it's nothing new either.

You will not be surprised to learn that in his first appearance, they did a whole "this isn't even my final form" and had the venom blow him up like a GD balloon. Sure, when Schumacher did it, it ws silly, but here it's """fine art""". Give me a break.

The art was bad. If you want to see good art go back to the 1990's triangle era art style...What was in this book might sell to some people but shouldn't be considered "Good"

To each his own and I grew up reading the 90's triangle era so I have a strong connection to that art too.

RKS did you really just say that Jorge Jimenez and Dan Mora's art is bad? Yes art is subjective but they are two of the most premier current artists in the business. It might not be your taste but they are certainly not "bad" artists by any measure. Stop being such a stick in the mud. Not everything you review or comment has to be negative. No one is asking you to do it.

Hex take a look at page #5 and page #10...I rest my case. Superman's eyes look like he's on drugs. It's not a style it's a lack of actual talent.

You know even the best artists make mistakes right? DaVinci didn't paint the Mona Lisa in a day. Todd McFarlane has some pretty big blunders. Neal Adams, one of the best to ever do it was incredibly critical of his own work. Even as much as I rail against JRJR, he has some standouts. I'm not losing my mind over a couple of eyes.

Just lame and pointless.

what a joke

you are a piece of shit

shut up grandpa, you like ethan van sciver bro

Yeah, and I have the Grandpa level disposable income to ensure that the books I like keep getting made while the ones you like get canceled. Stay mad.

@Superman Fan, is that the best you have to offer? I shut you down in previous conversations and all you have now is swearing...Try critical thinking and adding substance to your own reviews then the 2 second click of 10! Then come back and comment.

@Jim you read horrible books and troll legit reviewers. Who is the joke here?

"Yeah, and I have the Grandpa level disposable income to ensure that the books I like keep getting made while the ones you like get canceled." You just admitted that you don't pay for the comics you read. You have almost 500 reviews with an average rating of 2.6, so these obviously aren't the "books you like keep getting made". So you either don't actually read any of the comics you review or you get them for free online.

@Phantom Yeah, I do have free access to a lot of physical books without having illegally download them, but if that's what you assume people do because that is what you do then that's really telling of you and not me. Logic isn't your strong point. Anyways, maybe one day when you reach a level of reviewing you'll be able to get free stuff too through connections and these things call friends within the industry. I doubt it though. Stay angry, it seems to be all you have going for you.

You could have just said you got them from the library but you overshot by telling a needlessly convoluted lie about having friends in the industry and "connections" from "reaching a level of reviewing" (absolutely hilarious; you write user review bombs on ComicBookRoundup) that I could only DREAM of. This is going to be a great moment for anyone else in the future that sees one of your weird 1 star reviews and looks through your history to find this bizarre bragging attempt.

I don't know which I find more amusing, the fact that you accuse me of being dishonest or the fact that you believe that a modern library would carry current issues of comic books. As for you or anyone else in the future, I really don't care what you think. I'm sure my 1 star reviews do seem "weird" to you as they do require a minimum level of IQ level. I write reviews on here for free because I enjoy doing so AND I can do so without having to edit myself. As for you, you can stay mad.

No genius, that library comment was me saying that if you are going to lie at least make it believable. Saying that your reviews on here have "reached a level of reviewing" that has gotten you a steady flow of free comics from "friends in the industry" is an absurd lie. It's a lie a child would tell. You could have just said you got them from the library or just said NOTHING but you got super defensive about it instead. Whatever dude, keep just 1 starring everything. You called YOURSELF out

Reading isn't your stong point is it? I never said that I get promo stuff for this site review, but I do get "not for resale" and copies of books sent to me from friends I've made. Now, try to imagine why I would get defensive after beening accused of stealing comics...Anyway, you made it clear who you are, sadly we have to be in the same collecting community. Seek help.

wow, I kind of complimented the guy on his dis and he called me a snowflake and blocked me. sounds like he's really the snowflake.....and kind of stupid. lol

Tim Sheridan doesn’t need a pride book to ruin a character. He can do that anytime of the year. Dudes a hack.

Who blocked you?

ruiner89

Anything of meaning to say other then praise backed up by nothing? If you're going to review the book then review the book, stop blowing smoke...

lol you're hte one blowing up smoke when you're being really nitpicky and critical for no reason. If I read your reviews and it suddenly talks about Ideology, Pandering, Woke Feminism then I just ignore it. You accuse me of blowing smoke, I think you should check yourself first...

Too big of concepts for you to understand? Check your ignorance, anytime you want to talk comics I'm happy to but you had better have good reasons otherwise you will get cut to ribbons.

lol dude of course I understand those concepts, and I am not ignorant. I am very well aware of the politics of the world, not just America. And I like how you try to act as a macho masculine man by saying that I will get cut to ribbons if we talk about comics to sound cool. I dont mind politics, as long as its backed up by good writing

and bro, maybe you dont have good reading skills, but I clearly stated that I like the art and Joshua Williamson's writing is really good. It's clearly backed by something. But of course, you're the type of person who goes on a rant of how Lois Lane is a feminist propaganda and is flawless (when she's clearly not and has made mistakes in this series). And I dont mind Doomsday being back, because there's good writing

but of course, this is normal from a guy who likes Ethan Van Sciver and average rating is less than a 2/10 on this website. If you truly dont like these books, then why do you buy or read them? It doesn't make sense. Comic book writers will only listen to your feedback if its fair and unbiased.

I really don't know where to start, should I correct you on your viewpoints on what is "Good" in comics or the remind you that you should never start a proper sentence with the word "And"? I suppose I will start that saying that the current comic industry has devolved into being little more than political pandering to the lowest common denominator mostly because the really high quilty writers and artists were purged in a "Bloodbath" of lay offs in 2020 at DC. What remained were the ones

willing to work for peanuts and who would tow the company line. Action Comics is just one example of writers working their personal beliefs into the story. Not what would sell, but what they want to see in the series. (Ex: Focus on Lois, reducing Superman to a supporing chracter in his own title) As to why I still collect and read, it's mostly optimism that things will improve eventually when people get tired these types of books.

9.5? High rating. Ok, tell me why then. Otherwise your rating is meaningless.

2.0 is being generous. SO much wrong with the comic book world. The fix? How about we see what the people with talent are up to. Ethan Van Sciver? Maybe just maybe? Oh wait Jarvins would rather watch the entire ship sink than do what is right for the books and fans.

Right which parts? The part where she demands double the rate of annual inflation as pay? The part where she pats herself on the back for being the "Only one" who can report on the poltics of the city? OR wheres he takes a giant dump on Superman's heritage by calling the Fortress of Solitude his "Man Cave"? She's easily the worst written character in the book.

Let's be honest here, if it isn't Hal, Guy, Kyle, or even John it isn't really interesting. The main question that should be asked on every single page of this book is "Where is Hal?" The other characters are just sort of there and to be honest silly. They can be written out of the book without hurting anything,
