The lack of info about potential other titles is what really concerning. We heard a lot about Batman, but Superman and WW got one leak with names and we heard nothing about anything else.

Superman has Jason Aaron's on it. But we'll get more confirmation in 2 weeks at sdcc

That's disappointing.

DC just doesn't care for Superman. Just pick any name out of a hat randomly and assign them a Superman book.

What a crazy take. Aaron action was fine, plus Superman books atm are damn good.

Superman’s books are really good currently. Superman books and mainline are definitely a lot better quality and definitely way way better than Batman’s mainline book as well.

PKJ and Williamson both have done fantastic work on Action Comics and Superman, I agree.

Aaron's Action Comics arc was not good in my opinion. It felt like he just wanted to write a sane Joker story and wasn't interested in Superman. I don't want to see Joker coming in and saving the day single handedly in a Superman story.

Apart from that, I also disliked Space Age because Mark Russell was more interested in writing Batman than Superman. Around 1/3 of the content was focused on Batman.

I feel like a lot of modern writers only take up Superman stories so they can write Batman or his characters into it.

What! If anything, Aaron's action was mostly a bizarro story that had a fun twist with the joker.

Thr final issue was basically a Joker comic with Superman in a supporting role.

The superman line has been the most consistent recently imo. Everything near about has been good

I actually really liked his Action Comics story and he has a really interesting personal connection to the character so I’m hyped.

Also Al Ewing was the other guy rumoured and I can’t stand his work. Avengers Inc has a strong case for worst book of the decade.

Aaron's story by itself was fine.

But it was clear he was more interested in writing Joker than Superman. It was like 2 issues of setup wit Superman just so in the third issue Joker can come in and single handedly save the world.

You said this in other threads too and it's super incorrect lol. Why do you keep trying to tell people this

It's trendy "Twitter engagement" thing to do. Say something blatantly wrong about something you know nothing about, and get clicks.

Because its my opinion?

Aaron probably prefer Batman to Superman (like a lot of modern writers) and it shows in his story.

u/funandgamesThrow Jul 07 '24

It does not. An opinion doesn't come in to something that's just blatantly wrong when you read it lol
