But he's great, and I think terribly underappreciated given his long résumé and some of the great scripts he's written over the years.
Most people will instinctively point to his work on Action Comics #775, and it being considered by many as one of the greatest Superman stories of all time And it is, and we'll[...]

From today's Action Comics Okay, much has been discussed about the trillions of dollars worth of damage done to Metropolis by Superman in Man Of Steel In comparison a couple of iPads… sorry, Q-Pads… are rather minor.
But this act of wanton vandalism wasn't done to save lives, but to help his colleague Cat get[...]
From the DC Retailer Roadshow in New York last night... The books that Batman Zero Year will be spinning off into as a number of books look to their
I understand from pretty decent sources that the new team on Action Comics, after Scott Lobdell's fill-in, are Batman/Superman's Greg Pak and New Guardian's Aaron Kuder, who recently drew part of Superman #18.
Of course, Kuder is also known for writing and drawing his own work elsewhere.
I'm hearing the possibility that some people may be looking[...]
From today's Action Comics #21 which, curiously, is not available on ComiXology, Kindle or iTunes Yet Anyway…
Much has been made in the New 52 of Superman and Wonder Woman getting it on But what about the classic pairing of Lois and Clark? Well, as of today it seems both closer… and yet further away than[...]

But then, haven't they always?
Last week in Action Comics, through a time travel device we saw Clark's final moments with Jonathan Kent, his adoptive father, who never saw Clark grow into Superman, though he was his inspiration Except we were then given the chance for the older Superman to meet his father before he died,[...]
As we told you a couple of weeks go, Grant Morrison and Rags Morales are getting an extra issue to finish his run on Action Comics, with Andy Diggle and Tony Daniel's first issue delayed a month We wrote;
So expect some kind of retro solicitation to come down the pipe Once they've worked out exactly[...]
Grant Morrison's extended Action Comics run provides us with another DC Comics April surprise, kind of But one wonders if that screws up the impetus behind that month's Action Comics #19 gatefold cover for that particular issue of Action That looks like a relatively specific bit of action in Action Well, I'm sure they'll work[...]
Although Andy Diggle and Tony S Daniel are lined up to start their Action Comics run with issue 18, I understand that Grant Morrison and Rags Morales will need one more issue to finish their story Which means Diggle and Daniel's debut will be delayed to April and issue 19.
So expect some kind of retro[...]
Today's Action Comics #16 not only tells us that Superman did indeed die at the hands of Doomsday (and that it happened three years ago, two years into Superman's public existence), but it wallows in it A chance to mourn again as Superman is attacked extradimensionally in a number of different time zones – which[...]
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.

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…

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[...]

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.

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,[...]

"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? While Matches Malone seems to get getting a revival in Batman #11, in Action Comics #11 we get fireman Johnny Clark, which a penchant for saving Friends references from burning buildings That's right, our superhero gets to be a real hro Just one who doesn't get burned,[...]
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[...]
