Superman Battles a Half Kryptonian Hybrid In This Week’s Action Comics #20
Last month kicked off a new Action Comics story arc written by Andy Diggle and drawn by Tony S. Daniel. I have to say I haven’t really been enjoying the New 52 Superman comics, and yes that even includes Grant Morrison’s run on Action Comics, but last month’s issue #19 was very refreshing and I actually really enjoyed. Unfortunately, if you haven’t heard, Andy Diggle quit the arc after that one issue. Although, Tony Daniel is going to do his best to finish scripting the story that Diggle wrote, Hopefully the next few issues will be up to par.
Action Comics #20 hits store shelves this Wednesday but in the mean time check out this preview.
