UPDATE: I realized, after I had the podcast put to bed, that I hadn’t explained really why I thought Action Comics<\/i> #2 is the best cover for the week. It’s certainly not a Big Action (so to speak) cover, but it has a restrained fury, a menace, that works on a number of levels — the menace of guns on Clark, and the observers in the window, and the restraints and headgear, but also the menace of this alien powerhouse, barely restrained but threatening possible bloody violence on his captors. It captures some of what Morrison’s trying to bring to the Superman mythos quite nicely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
