I’m back today for a DC Guide for Pledgeonaut Patrons of CK, and this guide is a BIG DEAL – not only because it covers nearly 40 years of one of DC’s biggest ongoing titles, but because it marks a major milestone for Crushing Comics! Today I am very proud (and also very exhausted) to debut my Guide to Action Comics (1987 – Present).
Guide to Action Comics (1987 – Present)
This Guide to Action Comics covers every issue of Action Comics through its soft relaunch after Crisis on Infinite Earths, its year as Action Comics Weekly, the pre-Triangle period of three Superman ongoings, the entire decade-long Triangle Era (including Death & Return of Superman and Blue Superman!), the 00s as one of two Superman flagships (including the New Krypton / World Without Superman period), Grant Morrison’s redefinition of Superman in New 52, Rebirth’s streamlining Superman’s continuity, Brian Bendis’s takeover of the Superman titles, Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s Warworld Saga, and the newly-launched Dawn of DC!
Whew! No wonder this guide took the most effort out of all the guides I’ve launched so far this year. However, it’s more than just my first modern Superman guide. It also finally fulfills a plan for CK’s comic guide coverage I first outlined over seven years ago!
