Superman, Action Comics Vol. 2: Bulletproof

The second volume of Grant Morrison's Superman Epic is here & I must say things are beginning to get a little clearer & I am becoming more invested in this new interpretation of Clark Kent / Superman.  One of the high points for me in this collection is the revelation that Clark's landlady is Mr. Mxyzptlk's wife I thought that was such an awesome nod to such an old adversary.  I hope that this leads to a story with Mr. Mxyzptlk in the near future.  This book also saw the origin of a parrallel earth Superman, another super-human for Kansas & the origin of the Kryptonite Man.  Clark Kent does do what I feel is such a mistake when he fakes his own death because he felt that his alter-ego had outlived its usefulness; thankfully Batman & his landlady set him straight.  I really like the zero issue in this collection for its main story The Boy Who Stole Superman's Cape it brings back a sense of awe that causes kids to idolized characters like Superman.  I like were this is going but it still feels strange & unusual but its definitely getting better.
