I was...gutted.
There have been many great Superman writers since Superman was created, but few have understood Superman as much as the John Bryne, Mark Waid, Alan Moore and, of course, Jerry Seigels of the comicbook writing pantheon. Greg Pak, after this issue, inches his way ever closer to joining this legendary list of writers. Action Comics # 29 is great, but so was Action Comics 25-28, what makes AC29 better is that it represents the quintessential essence of Superman. If Superman you're not a fan of the big blue boyscout and you're looking to understand why people love him, look no further than AC29. Greg Pak manages to take the alien powers of Kal-El and the human aspects of Clark Kent to create the perfect Superman. Filled with the humor Pak has come to write Action Comics and the beautiful visuals of Kuder's art, Action Comics could be the best comic the DC releases this month and you might even shed by the end of it all. Just as how Snyder is writing a great Batman and Azzerello is writing legendary Wonder Woman, Pak has made Superman his own. I hope Pak stay on Action for as long as he writes comics.
