The spring of 2004 was a time of rebirth for the Superman titles, as the Loeb/Kelly/Casey era was wrapping up, paving the way for all new creative teams. Superman was given to Jim Lee and Brian Azzarello to sheppard, while The Adventures of Superman was left in the capable hands of Greg Rucka.
And Action Comics? Visually, it was on the right track with Ivan Reis on hand for the pencils. And boy, did that book look good. As for how it read, that's another question entirely, as teamed with Ivan was none other than Chuck Austen! While his run on Action was nowhere near the train wreck that Uncanny X-Men was under his guidance, he did give it the old college try. That, however, is probably an avenue best left explored in some posts of its own right.
For today, let's just look upon some unencumbered pencils from the now superstar artist, Ivan Reis.
