Action Comics, Volume 2 (The New 52, DC Comics, 2011–2016)
Action Comics Volume 2 launched as part of DC’s New 52 relaunch, redefining Superman for a new era while revisiting his earliest days as a public hero. Set primarily in Superman’s early career, the series presents a more raw, socially driven Man of Steel—one who clashes with corporations, politicians, and military power long before becoming the polished icon of later years.
The opening run by Grant Morrison is especially notable, portraying Superman as a working-class champion in jeans and a T-shirt, fighting injustice at street level while gradually growing into a global symbol. As the series progresses, the scope expands to include cosmic threats, Kryptonian mythology, and major status-quo shifts, eventually aligning more closely with the broader New 52 Superman line.
Over its full run, Action Comics Volume 2 balances reinvention with legacy, blending Golden Age–inspired themes with modern storytelling. It serves as a foundational pillar of the New 52 Superman era and a key companion to the main Superman title of the same period.
