Put simply, issues like this one are why I read and love comics! I didn't want it to end.

This *was* really good! Everything about it was great from start to finish, and Gene Ha is the perfect fill-in artist for Morrison's Action.
The current storyline, with Clark Kent "dead" has been okay. I'm not overly enthusiastic about it, but am willing to wait for the next President Superman type story. I do like the idea of Superman as a firefighter, though.
I really enjoyed the back-up in #11, featuring the "origin of Superman's blue t-shirt costume". It was very 50's / Silver Agey, and had a lot of charm. Perfect for an 8 page story.

And I liked the revelation behind Superman's rent lady, and that the little man isn't who we thought.
what's he look like????!

The Action Comics #0 issue was outstanding. The Ben Oliver artwork was gorgeous. I'm so enjoying the characterization of Jimmy, Lois, and Clark. On her first encounter with the "S" symbol, Lois's first thought is "story." Lois should always be portrayed as a gutsy, competitive, and instinctive journalist first. Morrison gets that. The second story gives us more back story on the new Capatain Comet to keep the main story line moving. Nicely executed.

Action Comics #13 - Great issue as a lot of the threads start to come together, with Kal, Krypto and the Phantom Stranger stuck in the zone, while an escaped Zone criminal prepares to rampage across the Earth.

I agree, Dave. Travel Foreman's interpretations of Krypton, the Phantom Zone, and the Fortress were unique and interesting. I enjoyed his stylized Superman.
I'm delighted to see that Krypto's story was presented so clearly. Last month's Supergirl zero issue was also clear. The post Flashpoint DC Universe has established early and unambiguously that Kara and Krypto, like Kal El, are survivors of Krypton. We know how they got here. No muss. No fuss. That's a good thing.
The Krypto back up story was all kinds of touching. Tissue, please.
