@RedQueen: Is that really a homage, though? Kara's expression looks completely different. She looks like she's about to destroy the Earth rather than cradle it.

Awesome! I hope the new writer of Action Comic is good, never read any of his stuff.

I can't wait for Scott Snyder's Superman!!

I wonder if Superboy's new secret identity is going to be "Conner Kent", they might not jump right into it and go to one of his older ones.

It sucks that the Superman series has some of the best artists working on their books. I love Tony S. Daniel and Kenneth Rocafort. I would love to see Rocafort takeover Snyder's Batman series if/when Capullo ever leaves.

Why does that suck? Superman is dc's prime superhero, of course he deserves the best they can offer, at least artistically

Plus rocaforts style doesnt fit batman at all

I will probably have to skip Supergirl for a while until He'l on Earth is over. I will probably check out Action Comics with the new creative team, but it does not improve I am going to drop Action Comics

Love the creative team for Action Comics. I'm glad Morrison is leaving. Not really enjoying his run to be honest.

@LeaderVladimir: Yeah It's annoying. I understand what they are going for but they went to far and it's making her look bad.

Diggle's AC looks fairly interesting, but I still don't know if I'll continue to buy the series itself after Morrison leaves.

That Action Comics cover is gorgeous. I'm dropping Action from my pull after Morrison leaves the book, but I fully intend to keep reading via trade.

@Dernman: Don't you just hate it when Supergirl randomly takes a level in jerkass? No, seriously, her comic book makes Superman a total designated villain even if his complaints with Kara are totally justified.

The art on Action Comics looks pretty. I have high hopes with Diggle on board too.
