It's almost official: Brian Michael Bendis is nearly ready to take over DC's Superman franchise, with his first story appearing in this week's Action Comics #1,000. So we certainly discuss that, but we also talk about the other creative teams that took over Big Blue from the beginning of DC's Rebirth, taking the character from a blogger in poorly-explained Kryptonian nano-armor who was being smothered to death by editorial edict during The New 52, to one of the more enjoyable, back-to-basics characters in DC's stable, despite adding a child to his backstory.
But then, yes, we talk about Bendis's story in Action #1,000, and how we always get apprehensive when a new writer decides that everything you've ever thought about a character is wrong!
