Yeah, it was pretty good. It was entertaining enough, particularly considering K-Man is actually the guy Supes tossed into Hobb's Bay.

That was Atomic Skull in Landis's story.


Yeah! I dug that, they took that one iconic scene from the first Action Comics and actually are making it count for a villain's origin. I particularly wish Superman would continue to be that kind of hero - the champion of the oppressed, the guy who stands up to bullies big and small. But I guess as the books progress, Superman's challenges will become more fantastic than they are a slice of everyday life. I guess that can go either way though - Superman talking to drug dealers in "Grounded" was just so awkward and distanced from reality, maybe it's a good thing that he does battle giant robots and gods every week instead of "real" villains.

Ooo, I really liked #15. I love it when Morrison messes around with time. I'm digging how all the little pieces are fitting together; classic Grant.

Hi, slightly old-new member here, but long-time Superman fan and reader.

When the New52 started, was dismayed over the reboot, tried out the first few issues of both Action and Superman, but later on, the changing creative teams at Superman and Morrison still lingering 5 years ago kinda put me off on Superman comics.

But lately, I decided heck with it, just want to read a good Supes book. So even though Morrison is leaving this year, decided to check out Action with #15.

Quite good and interesting. Morrison's ideas on expanding the 5th dimensional world of Mxy is mind-blowing as is the new villain in the Little Guy.

The time-tossing around can be slightly confusing, but like you said, how Morrison works all the pieces together is cool.

Enjoyed this issue, looking forward to the next.

I Love Superman and collect all the New 52 Superman related comics including Action Comics. I have to say while I do not hate Grant Morrison's run on Action I have not loved it either. There have been several issues that were pretty good but I found that some issues were all over the place. I often wondered if I missed something in a previous issue or in a previous panel as I got lost in a page or two that did not seem to fit in the current issue. The story slowly came together after some re-reading and a few issues of misplaced content later but by then I slowly lost interest in Grant's vision and hoped for some change to occur. I have to say I was a little excited to hear Grant was leaving Action Comics and I hope he ends his run with the enjoyment of the first few issues which I thought were great.

So the big question is will Andy Diggle be able to develop an intelligent and interesting story for Superman I am not sure. As always I am hoping for a successful run but for some reason not many writers can create great Superman stories. However I am very excited to see Tony Daniel's Art as I love everything he draws.

Morrison's run had its problems like almost any other run but overall it was a satisfying run in my opinion and I felt that he at least got the character as a whole (unlike some writers), Moorison's no genius nor am I a fan of everything he's done but his Superman stories hit the right chord with me.

Well, I'm not very impressed with Diggle's story so far. I found issue #20 quite boring. There are a lot of tropes he's tossed into the story. It just doesn't feel fresh, but worst of all it just isn't very exciting.
