I'm really behind on my comics reading, but I just sat down with with Action 858-863, and damn was it good. I now present to you 4 reasons why you must have some kind of brain worms if you aren't reading Action these days.
Reason the first
Case studies have proven that there are only two things cooler than giant robots.
One, jumping over a tank full of sharks on a rocket-cycle while making out with Jessica Biel as Immigrant Song blares, or;
Two, said giant robots getting jacked up.
Jessica Biel probably refused to sign away likeness rights, but fear not! For here is Superman smacking a giant robot.

Reason the second
The Legion of Substitute Heroes are fucking punk rock.

Reason the third:
Superman is a total bad ass. Spread the word.


Reason the fourth:
Superman is my hero.

Heh.
I TOTALLY knew you'd love this! Heck, I was cheering by the time Superman got his powers back! CHEERING!
I'm TOTALLY buying this in hardcover, Gary Frank's art is gonna look even better in that format, without all those annoying ads!
Best,

I loved it when Superman "took the fight outside" (into space)
Though its kinda sad when you think about it. We lost 20 years of Superman not being able to chill with the Legion and the Legion going through a bunch or reboots (WHY DC!?!?! LOSH was a good seller back in the day. why ruin it)
James- You did call it. You've absolutely got my number when it comes to knowing what I'm going to love.
Anon- I actually don't know the LOSH all that well, but I love Johns' take and all of this. It's also a shame that the Legion was ruined so thoroughly by the constant need for reboots.
That shot of Stone Boy is hilarious, and of course, nothing even needs to be said about how great all of the Superman stuff is.
Johns is putting out my favourite in-continuity Superman stories in years at the moment. And the fact that he's doing that at the same time he's doing great stuff with Green Lantern, Booster Gold and JSA (the last of which isn't really for me, but is apparently very good)... he's on an incredible roll right now.
