I'm only just buying the rest of the parts of the Action Comics story, with the first and second part, and I can stop gabbing about how frikking adorable Mister Mind is in #891, during the Wild West sequence.

Thumbs up for Superman #708. The Superman Squad was very cool. The "Grounded" story line develops more of a sense of purpose and there is some unexpected villainy at work. Superman's first meeting with the new Wonder Woman was memorable. The art was very good.

SUPERGIRL #61: So who or what is Alex? Luthor's 'other son', as Sarcasm Kid alluded to? Brainiac's? (He calls either his computer bank 'father' or is broadcasting to someone we don't know the ID of). The coloring makes his face look white... the girl he kissed says his lips felt chalky. Is he related to the Joker?
If I had my druthers, it'd be none of the above, as I think his set-up was individual enough without having to tie him to an established DCU character. But since it seems he will be, I *am* curious.
I wish his three victims?stooges? weren't given such short shrift. I kind of liked the way they interacted.
It's somewhat surprising that they go for a Teen Titans member as guest star, rather than a JLA one.

I really enjoyed issues #60 and #61 of Supergirl... I haven't been following her since her reintroduction to the DC universe... I thought they tarted her up too much... but after reading the Annual with the LSH, I decided to check out her monthly adventures... I like how she plays off of Robin in #61... their team-up in Superman/Batman at Halloween was great too... now that I've dropped Superman, I'm going to give Kara's book a chance...

Superman #710 gave us another take on the first meeting of Superman and Batman. This time, featuring an encounter with Vandal Savage. The story didn't add much and only served to further muddy continuity.

What do readers here think of the 'big' event that happened in ACTION 900?
Does it imply that Clark's membership in JLA will be even more distant? Maybe he'll be a member of JLI when it gets it's monthly?

A disappointing conclusion for the series and the "Grounded" story line. It tried to be all hopeful and full of positive Superman energy. In the end, it just felt trite.

Supergirl, Power Girl and Batgirl (the Stephanie Brown one) sure are getting the shaft in DC's realignment. These three blonde ladies have been starring in three solo titles featuring heroines that have been quite enjoyable reads. I'll miss them. I even forgive Miller the horrible usage and death of Kid Eternity (who'll be back one day, I'm sure) in BATGIRL.
Does the fact that they're blonde mean they can't add to 'diversity'? (How I'm beginning to loathe that word...)
DC's definition of that word is such a crock. It not only ignores ageism, it's become a corporate symbol of it! And comics continues it's aggregate geographicism-- where are the titles with Southern characters? Those from the Pacific Northwest? From anywhere other than the overused NY City and LA?

Reading Morrison's "SuperGods" non-fiction book now, and between that and All-Star, I really like his take on Superman, so I'm cautiously optimistic for the relaunch next week.
I still not sure we need another re-imagining after Birthright, Secret Origin, Earth One, etc. But I'm willing to see what Grant can do.
