Action Comics #1 (from the new DC Universe also known as the new 52)

Okay, I know all of the real comic book fans out there are saying, "These are last week's titles. Why are you doing them now?" The answer is simple. I just started this blog late (it was recommended I start on this past Thursday, but I'm a procrastinator normally), and new comics day isn't until tomorrow. :)
So, I enjoyed Action Comics #1 and I'm really interested to see where it goes. I was confused by the story at first though until I read in an online article that Action Comics (at least the current arc anyway) takes place 5 years before the current continuity of the new DC Universe. It's similar to the first arc in Justice League that way. After I read that, the reasons why Superman is only just starting to gain a following and make progress as a hero became evident. I have to say that I hate seeing Superman in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt though. I know Morrison is trying to build up to the final  product with the story, but I'd still prefer something more super in what Superman is wearing than just a t-shirt with the shield and a cape.
There are elements in the story that I'm not sure what they are for yet and what they mean yet, but that is just the way Grant Morrison writes. It's the little details you always have to pay attention to with Morrison; somewhere down the road that little detail that you thought was unimportant at first is going to come back again. Morrison demonstrates that from the beginning self-contained within this issue. The corrupt corporate mogul at the beginning of the issue that Superman "persuades" a confession out of seemed unimportant to me as I got into the issue until the reveal on the second to last page. At that point, you see that what seemed like a minor scene with a corrupt businessman was actually important to where the issue was going. There's also a small detail on that second to last page that I think is going to be important in future issues though it seems like an off-handed comment by Lex Luthor. If you read it, you'll pick it up I think, especially now that I've warned you to watch out for it.
Rags Morales's artwork did a good job of capturing the different emotions playing across Superman's face throughout the issue. I especially liked the changes from excitement to concern as he moves from flying through the city to saving people, and then from concern to anger when he realizes that the army is attacking him despite the fact he's saving people's lives. The last page reveal was well drawn as a scene on a monitor, but I really wish this had been done as an on the scene page instead of through General Lane's monitor.
All in all, I think this is solid work, like Justice League #1 it's part of the world building process for the new DCU and for Superman himself in the new continuity. I still hate what they have this young version of Superman dressed in, but that doesn't detract from the story as much as just aggravate me.
Go pick it up if you liked the old Superboy from before the Legion became involved. I think this series currently has that kind of freshness to showing us how and why Superman is who he is going to be in the new continuity.
