This is the world’s worse headline.
“We’ll Smack you up”??? What kind of rallying cry is that? The funny thing is, is that he didn’t once say that. And in the end, he didn’t smack them up at all. He just kinda negotiated with him–because, of course, he wasn’t going to kill him.Â
The three issue arc (Action Comics 841-843) was pretty good. The story line bridged the gap between the One Year Later series and the regular, run of the mill stories that will go on from here for awhile. The stories quickly silenced the theory that this was not the real Superman and took away the threat of testing the physiology of Superman. As a bonus, we were introduced to a new villain.
I enjoyed the covers, even with the crazy headline. I like more information on the covers than just art, so this was a nice change.
