Action Comics #893 review

If anyone had told me years ago that Superman’s Action Comics would one day be a split title shared by Lex Luthor and Jimmy Olsen, I’d have laughed. But it’s happened, and I do laugh. But not at the notion, at the results. For the two strips in this issue are among the funniest DC […]
