Honestly, some really rather mediocre stories today. Superman manages to screw up an alien plan to bring peace and harmony to Earth (though the aliens don't really give anyone a choice, so it's a bit weird to begin with), and Supergirl decides to use her powers to win over a womanizing toxic male because...reasons. Honestly, the guy's a total crapsack and every woman in the story thinks he's just great. Like they know he's a player but they still want to get played? It's really no wonder that we have a culture that's as fucked up about gender dynamics as we do when you see some of the nonsense that got pumped out into peoples' formative years.
There's a weird little meta moment at the beginning of today's comic, where we get a full-page shot of 5 kids gathered around Action Comics #369, debating how Superman could possibly blunder. They never reappear, and it really is a strange moment - did they need another page filled for the issue? I suppose it creates a sense of disbelief, or reminds readers of the ways in which a story of Superman making a mistake could take place, but there's surely better ways of doing that than this Greek Chorus-esque gathering of pubescent boys ruminating on how the story might unfold.
More to follow.
