The latest issue of Action Comics finds Superman battling a foe on the streets of Metropolis, but this time he isnt taking on his rival Lex Luther. Instead, hes battling the police, which has some people outraged.
Theres some fans that are alienated, a portion of the older fans," said Dimitrios Fragiskatos, the manager of Midtown Comics in New York City. "[But] younger fans seem to be embracing it.
The new issue comes from the minds of Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder, who have imagined a much darker story for arguably the world's most iconic superhero. The comic has been making waves for its controversial theme as the parallels to the riots in Ferguson and St. Louis are impossible to ignore.
In the issue, Clark Kents secret identity has been revealed, he has been stripped of most of his powers and hes ditched his tights. Instead, Kent wears just a T-shirt and jeans, along with tatters of his Superman cape over his fists.
The downtrodden hero returns to a town that is fearful of him. Although a group of his supporters decide to celebrate his return, the police department soon arrives to break up the party. One of his supporters gets unruly, the police get angry, and before long, a full blown riot breaks out. The comic ends with Superman punching a police officer in the face.

They can print all the stupid PC and faggot sh!t they want to. But they can’t make us buy it—or accept its premise.
DC’s sales are tanking right now. I wonder why.
That’s because DC is now run by liberals and everyone now just downloads the scans for free.
The New 52 Superman is basically a Super Barack Obama. It’s still tolerable to a certain extent, but with them taking away his powers, giving him that stupid solar flare power which is slowly crippling him (and he keeps using it for no good reason), and with him walking around with the shirt and blue jeans, I just hate it. Hate it. Can’t stand it.
By the way, Batman may be dead (he got covered up in rocks with the Joker), and right now former Commissioner Gordon is the new Batman, going around with a Bat robot suit. It’s starting to feel like it’s permanent and Batman isn’t coming back.
That’s what I do! I read the scans! LOL
Did you DL the entire Star wars comic catalogue? Some dude uploaded like 21 GB of the damn thing. Umm, I heard the information from our pesky neighbor’s kid who is into this torrent thingy (cough)
I used to get free comics from the Army and Navy recruiters when they had offices in the local Post Office.
They were very good and also good history. Sort of similar to Classic Comics which I used more than once, (and successfully too) for book reports.
The big two comic companies, Marvel (Disney) and DC (Time Warner) are run by libs.
The Archie situation has been a real mess for a while. It was originally owned by three guys in the 1940’s (one of whom was Timely’s accountant—Timely later became Marvel). Their families have been in-fighting for control of Archie Comics.
Nancy Silberkleit wanted to clean up and make Archie comics like they used to, but the current group in control since 2012 has been only interested in producing quick sale “stunt” comics like Archie dies, Archie vs Predator and Archie vs Sharknado.
Buy the independent comic books, if you buy any.
“So who is the good guy here?”
The homosexual running around in Army greens and stolen valor. Who did you think it would be?
Archie had to die because he wasn’t millennial enough, he was too 50’s, too American, too square, and the punks drawing him hated him.
Discussion?
I kinda figure Star Wars would be just as lame as this stuff. Though I am enjoying Star Wars Darth Vader :p
Any recommendations?
I love black olives!
There’s barely any liberal crap in the SW comics unlike DC. You don’t see effing Chewbacca marry R2D2 or some fag crap. probably the last DL ummm, my neighbor’s kid gave me, was the complete series arc for Green Lantern Darkest Night. Now, the new GL is a faggot so at least they didn;t turn my hero Hal jordan into a fudgepacker and left him alone.
What does your post 13 mean? I don’t get it.
Really? I’ll paraphrase then: Don’t like it here, then GTFOOMC!
