Action Comics Vol 2: Welcome to the Planet by Dan Jurgens


What a title and doesn't mean what you might think. Sure we have a new Superman who shows up right as the old one on this Earth vaporizes. If you read the previous volume you know that Superman has been around for awhile but in hiding. Now this book picks up from the issues of Volume 1.

So here we have some answers to the questions raised in Volume 1. We not only have our new Superman, but we have a Clark Kent. Yes there is actually a Clark Kent on this Earth with no powers and he is just a mild mannered reporter, and Superman is standing right next to him. Lex Luthor is still wearing the Super suit and Superman's S and cape. On top of that the Lois Lane from this Earth has gone missing. 

I had so many questions like how did Lex become this Superman version of himself and what is this powerless Clark Kent doing here? This book addresses those in a very interesting way. We also get to find out more of this new Superwoman who bares a striking resemblance to the Red Energy Superman. 

I really liked this book and I am so hooked on this series. A big thnak you to DC Comics for bringing back everything I liked about the Superman franchise that I felt was erased with New 52 and to Netgalley for letting me read this for a review. I would highly recommend reading Vol 1 of Action comics before you read this, but if you are a fan of Superman and especially a fan of Superman. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Follow Me Friday- Picture Books

Image
Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

A-Z Reading Survey

On one of the blogs I follow I saw this and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. I decided to follow the link to the A-Z Meme . I also decided to check out the blog this came from and really liked it. What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't give credit where it is due? This is from The Perpetual Page-Turner , and her blog is pretty cool. So here are her questions and my answers. A uthor you’ve read the most books from: Jeffery Deaver is the author that I have read the most books from. If you checked out my all about me post you would know that his books are the reason I am the avid reader I am. Michael Connelly and Steven King would be a close second. Still have a lot of King to read.   B est Sequel Ever:  What a good question. Currently the only one I can think of is the Lord of the Rings Tow Towers. That is my favorite book of the series. C urrently Reading: Currently I am listening to Storm Fron by Richard Castle, and reading Sons of Moriarty and More St

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri
