A star-studded event with so many big names it rivals most awards ceremonies. And that’s just the talent! This issue marks the 80th anniversary of the debut of Superman. As a result just about every major player to have ever graced the pages of Action Comics– Batman, Lois Lane, Luthor, and some super-duper guests just too good to mention without spoiling the surprise!
So I indulged myself and bought three covers, 1930's by Steve Rude, 1960's by Mike Allred, and 1970's by Jim Steranko; I'm happy I got them at discount so it's cool. But you can't judge a comicbook by it's cover. Overall I liked the stories, some were fun and powerful, and a few were not as good. My favorite stories were "Never Ending Battle" by Tomasi and Gleason, "The Car" by Johns, Coiperl, and Donner, and "Of Tomorrow" by Tom King. I am not going to say which one I disliked, but I can. tell you, it was one I was really excited to read ... :( Overall it was worth the 7 bucks I paid for it.
