Lock Jaw Reviews The New 52

Action Comics #1

SPOILER: show
Wow. Just wow. How someone can get Superman so WRONG is beyond me.

Once again, this comic takes place in the "past". Superman only appeared six months ago.

Our first introduction to Superman comes with him bursting into a room-full of businessmen and proclaiming "Rats. Rats with money. And rats with guns. I'm your worst nightmare."

He is drawn as a shadowy figure who has perpetual glowing red eyes. He proceeds to intimidate one of the businessmen into a confession of using illegal cheap labour.

Meanwhile, the police are trying to get Superman to stand down/bring him in. Superman ignores them and tells them that they should "deal with the real criminal scum in this city, and then you won't need me to do it for you".

Rest of the issue is largely spent with him running away from the police and then the military/Luthor.

Generally, the whole issue feels like Superman trying to be Batman.

Absolutely terrible.
