Going seemingly unnoticed amidst the hype of Civil War, 52, and whatever else is the hot-button issue of the moment, is the fact that DC’s Superman line is the best it’s been in years.
Whether intentional or not, each Superman book is targeting a specific market: All-Star Superman is offering classic, wholesome superhero action; Superman features a modern take on Supes; Action Comics, courtesy Geoff Johns and Richard Donner, expertly captures the feel and tone of the movies.
Right now, any of these books are worth picking up; though, smartly, DC seems to have realized that there are different “versions” of Superman out there, and now we can pick which one we want to read about.






i havent checked out teh donner run on supes. Is it something I can wait for in trade?
Well the schedule’s been so erratic, you might be waiting a long time for that trade. Not to be too spoiler-ific, but to possibly whet your appetite, I’ll just say that Johns and Donner have combined plot points and characters from Superman II and Superman Returns to make for a Superman comic where new things are actually happening and having consequences.
Who’s on Superman? Busiek and Pacheco still?
Yep. I think the first trade just came out…
