This post is late. This post is beyond late. In fact, I'm actually writing it on a Tuesday and back dating it for Saturday just so I don't mess up my naming convention. To add a little more fuel on the lateness fire, this post consists of comics for last week and the week prior. I spent some time in New Jersey recently, and it forced me to put my mail on hold ...
Ok. I'm back, but notice the date change. These reviews are now going to be posted on Saturday.

Action Comics #881:I long for the days that Geoff Johns was writing solid Superman stories in Action Comics. I ...

Fiction and comic book writer Brad Meltzer has gotten the ball rolling on a charity to help preserve the house where the idea of Superman was created. Get with the program:
