(W) Grant Morrison
(A) Rags Morales & others
It's the final double sized issue of GRANT MORRISONs confusing run on Action. This is the same guy that wrote All Star Superman? Really? I swear to god there must be two Grant Morrisons out there. One that sober and lucid. Another that's wasted out of his mind and his stories make sense to him alone.

While Morrison's foundation-setting time-hopping rough-edged take on the New 52 Superman may not have the fizz of his seminal All-Star Superman, he has produced a complex Superman story you won't find anywhere else. Like All-Star, Morrison's finale issue #18 uniquely deepens and defines what makes Superman interesting. Superman fights the impossible, including demonic invaders from the 5th Dimension, will suffer terribly, but, unlike anticipated Action scribe Andy Diggle, will never quit. The idea that Superman, a being of meta-fictional legacy, will always win is psychedelically underscored. Curious concepts and epic wonder fill these pages, but my favorite oddly powerful moment was the relatively unassuming cameos by this title's three talented creators: Morrison, Morales, and Sholly Fisch (the latter being an obvious candidate to take Diggle's place, IMHO). My only major complaint: Otpyrk erom!
