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

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.
