An edited review of this book will come sooner or later, this last one was pretty bad.

You know there is something to be said about how effective a single issue can be. In the current climate we have most comics utilizing long form storytelling, and each issue is something that builds on that. And that's great, there's lots of great things that come of that kind of thing.
But I do love single issues, I have a bunch of them and my set of favorites.
And this made the list. Next time someone tells me Superman sucks I'll point them here.
What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way? Is about Superman struggling with people's new thirst for a deadly force of ass hats called the elite. Led by Manchester Black. They have a sense of right that compares crime to a tumor that needs to be cut out. And Superman just doesn't agree with that. They take him on specifically because of what he stands for.
And it's fantastic. If you like Superman or don't you should read it. It's something I'll read for years and tell people to read for years.
It's one for the books folks.
5 stars.

So we were talking about Superman, and my friends were like "Superman is lame and anyone who thinks otherwise offends me" and so I got to talk about how good Superman can be really so very good. Because you can't write physical challenges for Supes, the best stories about him are about morality and humanity and belonging, and what it means to be good and to be a person.
And yeah. This one is all of that.
Thanks to my buddy Shannon for giving me this comic after that discussion.
