"It Begins Again"........that seems like a good way to start my first review on one of DC's "New 52". Not just any book though, ACTION COMICS! Dc is in its 5th month of the relaunch, with Action Comics issue 5 just hitting the shelves last week. I told myself when this relaunch started that I would give most of the new 52 a chance, but I would only give them Three issues to pull me in, and make me keep reading them. That seemed fair to me, and its worked out good so far. Action Comics needed every bit of those first three issues to really grab me.I wasn't a fan of the first issue, mainly because Grant Morrison did a couple of things with Superman's character that just felt wrong to me.(You wont find any spoilers on this site) Issue 2 on the other hand was a little more enjoyable, and actually got me excited for issue 3. After that the series just took off, Grant Morrison is making changes , and taking chances with the character, that are exciting, and different. Everyone knows Superman's origin, but in these books you get to experience the first years of his attempt at becoming a superhero, him discovering some of his powers for the first time, and so on. This is definitely the Superman book you should be reading,and its one of the best comics in the "New 52"
