If you don't like Synder's Batman in the main book? I wonder if you will like this one any more… Action Comics gets its own trip to the future, or rather we see the future ahead, and the past, and the present, as Superman is attacked on all counts from the fifth dimension One of the[...]

After nearly a decade of the world record price for a comic book holding at $350,000 (the Marvel Comics #1 Pay Copy sold in 2001 for that amount, and a few years later the Edgar Church copy of Flash Comics #1 changed hands at the same price), early 2010 saw two different single comic book[...]

And in Action Comics #14 out today, he tells you exactly what they are. After fighting them for a bit, of course Now these aren't Weeping Angels, creatures of a singularity of time, but they have something in common They are… something else. Which, one could say, fits into Christian theology quite nicely The four dimensional expression[...]

This is pretty cool: The star, which is smaller and cooler than our sun, can be seen at right ascension 12 hours, 10 minutes, 05.60 seconds, and declination 15 degrees, 04' 15.66. Tyson was asked to help with Action Comics #14, out this week, in which Tyson will also appear, as Superman tracks down the location[...]

This of course would bring us up to Andy Diggle and Tony Daniel's Action Comics, which is set in the DC New 52 current continuity… So, Superman watchers, looks like you have lots to look out for in coming months Start making a checklist now… The DC panel at NYCC were asked if the New 52[...]

Bleeding Cool already ran the news that Andy Diggle was to take over Action Comics as writer after Grant Morrison's departure with issue 17 But who will join him as artist? Turns out it's Tony S Daniel, recently seen on Detective Comics and Justice League I'm told by DC sources that he's switching to art-only for[...]

Incoherent Boy reported from Singapore Comic Con; Unfortunately, due to non-disclosure agreements, Diggle wasn't able to say much about his three upcoming major projects, which will be announced next month, or comment on the rumours swirling around the Internet that he is taking over DC's Action Comics. These rumours presumably Gillian Ang managed to record the specific[...]

Will Romine, the fan with one of the most ingenious cosplay costumes ever devised, reports from Baltimore: The DC Panel at Baltimore Comic Con marked the

Here's the listing. Action Comics #1 rated 8.5 by CGC, linked to a recorded, rated version. Located in Germany but only selling to Americans. A zero rating on eBay for the seller. And not being sold through a professional specialist auction house. So… Will you take the risk? Hope not This very copy of the comic did sell for $1,500,000 back in[...]

Maybe for the Minus One issues next year… But Action Comics #0 instead, just gives us something… rather sweet And emphasising not only Superman's alien origins, but highlighting the stuff he carries around with him as well… it's a zero issue for the character, for the brand, for the image, and for his security blanket as[...]

I first heard the whiffs of this rumour a few weeks ago, that the new writer of Action Comics to replace Grant Morrison was another Brit with a 2000AD past, but seemingly from pub conversations recalling half-heard conversations and nothing I could actually stand up Then Andy Diggle tweeted the following; So I just landed the[...]

Will Grifter be cancelled with #16? With changes across the line perhaps? Grant Morrison is also leaving Action Comics with the December issue, #16, though they are hardly cancelling that book But it might point to a sea change for the line, with poor performing books cancelled, new books begun, and creators departing and being appointed,[...]

MorrisonWatch: Grant Morrison to leave Action Comics after #16 and Batman Inc after #12. "after that I don't have any plans for monthly superhero books for a while "Multiversity" is eight issues and I'm 30-odd pages into a Wonder Woman project but those are finite stories.

So who does Superman get to be now?

And if nothing else, we get a big fuck off Iron Man. And Action Comics #10 does quite a trick As Superman finds his world getting more and more exposed, he finds an escape clause I've been told that DC basically lt Grant Morrison do anything they want with Superman and everyone else has to catch[...]

Can anyone beat this? From Zatara The Magician by Gardner Fox and Fred Guardineer, in Action Comics #12 from 1939, courtesy of Comic Book Tit Bits… Zatara, as some may mention, was essentially of the ilk of Mandrake the Magician.  Wearing a top hat and tuxedo he would perform various astounding feats, aided by his manservant, Tong. [...]

Animal Man sees Maxine take on one of the earliest tricks that Alan Moore gave to Swamp Thing, while Swamp Thing gives us… well…. …wings.

I understand that once again, DC have a lock down on the top ten of comics distributed in North American comic shops, with the sixth issues of Justice League, Batman, Action Comics, Detective Comics, Green Lantern, Batman: The Dark Knight, Superman, Flash, Aquaman and Batman & Robin The only difference from January 2012 is that[...]

Though it does make me wonder if he'll ever turn that scientific curiousity on his own powers and get to the totem-less reasons why they actually work…     In Action Comics, Superman fights the Internet, everyone And yet again I find myself rooting for Lex Luthor What is wrong with me? I expect Hell, Yeah! to be in[...]

Just like in Hulk: Future Imperfect… Once upon a time, a copy of Action Comics was pulped because it featured Clark Kent drinking a bottle of root beer with his dad In today's time twisting issue featuring the Legion of Superheroes, Clark seems to be taking a more violent approach to this beverage He's doing Paul[...]

Including the Co-Op ad they ran for Action Comics, using provided DC materials in compliance with DC's rules which meant that DC paid for 75% of the advertising buy A previous ad saw Superman facing down Occupy Metropolis Well this one, running in the state local press, gets a little more down with the birds[...]
