Scans: Action Comics #3

Action Comics: written by GRANT MORRISON, art by GENE HA and RAGS MORALES

Action Comics #3 starts off with a flashback to Krypton, featuring a pretty darn adorable baby-Kal and finding a way to link Brainiac to Krypton without going the animated-series route of having him be the planetary AI.  Oh yeah, and an interesting hint:

And I SO loved the first picture of baby Kal-El with the reflection of the stars in his eyes. Actually - I loved him in all the flashback - he looked so cute and adorable (and happy).

Geez, doesn't he look like the perfect baby? I just wanted to cuddle him. :) As for the aloneness...this was a tough issue for me, having Clark be discouraged and depressed is always so hard to read.

And I wonder (because I don’t remember if I read it anywhere) - there were two pencillers working on the comic - Rags Morales and Gene Ha. Does it mean the flashback of Krypton was drawn by Gene Ha and the rest of AC was the art of Rags Morales? (At least it is as it seems to me.)

That appears to have been the case, yes. I wonder if there'll be more flashbacks (I figure there must be, leading up to the death of the planet?) and if Ha will draw them? Oh, I really hope so, and I'd love to see more of Jor-El and Lara (and Krypto!)

Oh NO! And I hoped there could be someone that knows his secret.

Maybe she can avoid getting offed? Perhaps they'll just let her fade out, or...maybe she's Icarus? :)

Okay, I will be happy if it’s Lois. But I would LOVE having Bruce in this story. Though you are probably right about Morrison not wanting to bring Bruce in it.

I'd be happy if it were Lois too! I assume it's not Jimmy, although damos says that maybe Jimmy doesn't feel like he can tell him openly about the lead, since they work for different papers...

This and the panel with Clark sitting with the picture of Martha and Jonathan - that was so sad - it was heartbreaking. I was so sorry for Clark. He was so sad, broken, so lonely. *hugs him*

I know, I really HATE stories where people turn on Superman. It gets frustrating after years of continuity, because the people of Metropolis are...kind of a bunch of jerks, since there's a story about them turning on Superman every few years. I can kind of forgive this one because it's the first time (and somewhat faked, I think) but it still really breaks my heart to see it...
