I never used to be a Superman fan, but something about this reboot to Action Comics got my attention, and after reading the first five issues, I'm hooked. Not really sure what it is, but I'm loving the direction they're taking him in. Though I do have to admit that issue #5 was a bit confusing the first read through. After reading it a second time I think I've grasped a general understanding of what's going on, but future issues will certainly fill in some info.

I like how they expanded on the Kent's background a bit. Set them up perfectly to be the one's to discover him. I also appreciate how they connected that back to issue #2 (I KNEW that was a deformed calf!).

I also laughed a bit when I saw Krypto's little cameo. Though he was a bit confusing, since he looked dog-like at certain times, and more big-cat-like at other times.

One of my first reactions after re-reading #5, was that the bad guy behind everything was Zod, but the more I've looked at him and thought about it, the less I think it's him. Looking at the panel showing the portal to the phantom zone, the guy in the back of the group with his arms crossed looks more like Zod to me. It's definitely the guy with the mechanical looking hand that's behind everything, but I have no idea who he could be (I'm not too familiar with Superman's rogue's gallery). Could be someone I've never heard of, or could very well be a new villain they're introducing. Personally I'm hoping he turns out to be a new villain, but if not, oh well.

Anyways, I'm definitely looking forward to future issues, and can't wait to see where they take it from here.
