Action Comics #14

The Multitude was defeated. (but considering how it was revealed it was the Little Man all along, it's not really the case). Which his true identity is reveal to be Vyndktvx the powerful imp from the 5th Dimension.

I'm trying to decide if I'm disappointed that the Multitude was "defeated" that quickly or not--'cause that's something that's been teased for at least a few months now.

What I've been noticing with Morrison's run is that while I'm usually not super-pleased with the conclusions of these stories, the beats of action, humor, character and wonder more than makes up for it.

Yeah, the character stuff is all great, but I get the feeling that Morrison really told Superman story that he wanted to tell back with All-Star Superman, so this is just kind of going through the motions. He's got a great handle on the character, but I just don't feel like he's really inspired with the stories.

[darkknightjrk]

I don't know if it's so much going through the motions so much as he started up this big story for Superman, then after a while decided he wanted to take a break from major superhero runs and do some creator-owned stuff, then thought, "Oh shit--how am I going to round all this up?" I think that's part of why the next three parts are going to be a sort-of quick three-part history of Superman up to now, similar to what he did with Batman during it's cross-over with Final Crisis.

The Multitude isn't a multitude at all. It's not a race of beings--the Multitude is all one thing: a single weapon with countless points aimed at us from a higher, 5th dimension.

That bottom panel on the first page is possibly the most scientifically ridiculous dialogue Morrison has ever written. I don't really mind, but.

Vyndktvx is a very telling name, I'm glad I read it before the melting. Eurgh. Just when I thought Superman got likable, the title gets gory.

[darkknightjrk]

Honestly, this is really the only gory thing in this issue, or any of the previous issues.

I just can't seem to care about the N52 Superman. He just doesn't read like him, for me at least. I miss the old supes.

[darkknightjrk]

What's funny is, to me, this IS the old Supes that I loved as a kid, and the past few years just didn't really read like him.

Why does that little imp remind me of John Byrne ?
