Ok here we go it's review time. Hooray! So to get things started with this Action Comics review I just want to say that this book has been a pleasant suprise for me. I originally started following the series because of Gary Frank joining the book. Frank's pencil skills on Marvel's Squadron Supreme really impressed me so I decided that I would start picking this book up just because of the excellent art.
Well once again this book does not dissapoint! The main story arc right now focuses on the redefinition of the villian, Brainiac.
Seriously I don't know where to start with the complements for this book. Geoff Johns has an incredible grasp on how to write all of these characters in the Superman universe and Frank is just amazing with the drawing duties as always.
Without spoiling too much of the issue this story involves Brainiac trying to take over Metropolis to add it to his collection of cities from other planets. There are a few cool twists in this book and the dialogue is phenomenal.
Definately a must read for Superman fans.
Also on a somewhat related note on the Superman front. The season premiere of Smallville's eight season is tomorrow so don't forget to check that out.
