DC Comics Relaunch: Grant Morrison & Rags Morales’ Action Comics #1 Cover

News

Skitch Commentary: This is one crazy cover. What’s with the jeans and the tiny looking cape? My close friend Mike Weaver said, “He looks like what I would look like if I realized I had twenty bucks and needed to dress up like Superman.” And I think that is a great description.

And why are the cops shooting at him? I know he’s the first super-hero and all that, but I am pretty sure it’s not typical police regulations to shoot at someone just because he happens to have a unique ability. Or else Michael Jordan should watch out!!

While this is an odd cover, I do have to say that the art is really great. And I like Morrison, so I am willing to give him a lot of leeway here, but it does seem like a strange way to Relaunch the world’s best known superhero.
