Superman continues to soar high under the guidance of writer Brian Michael Bendis, teamed here with the excellent art team of John Romita, Jr. and Danny Miki.
After several issues of over-the-top battles with the Legion of Doom (featuring just about every character in DC's arsenal), this issue of Action Comics gives us a breather as we start to untangle the mess that is DC continuity - most specifically, the "other" Superboy.
The return of Young Justice has brought Conner Kent back into the mix, and Superman decides it's time to figure out who he is and where he's from. The beginning of the investigation brings with it some interesting story ripples, as the nature of DC's reality starts to feel a bit wobbly.
It's a fun issue that sets up some very promising possibilities - and let me just say, if Bendis can make sense of the constant snarl that is DC's continuity, he'll have earned my eternal respect.
(The usual outcome of such efforts is to make things worse. So my charge is: don't screw it up!)
This series continues to impress and delight!
