Action Comics #1061 marks the beginning of a new era for both the title and the Man of Steel, as this is the first issue since the three-year Phillip Kennedy Johnson run concluded in last year’s annual. In his stead comes veteran writer Jason Aaron, who is taking on the task of writing a three-issue story arc. While this is Aaron’s first time scripting the adventures of Superman, he is no stranger to the world of comic book heroes, recently enjoying stints on Marvel’s Avengers and a highly acclaimed run on Thor. Additionally, the writer has produced well-received independent projects, such as his creator-owned series Scalped and Southern Bastards.Aaron’s first issue wastes no time setting the table, bringing back a classic Superman villain in “I, Bizarro.” However, the Man of Steel soon discovers that there is much more to the backwards-speaking villain than meets the eye. The result is an action-packed issue that offers a surprising amount of insight into what is commonly perceived as a one-note villain. Additionally, although Bizarro is commonly regarded as a joke, this issue proves that he is anything but.While Aaron’s script highlights the power of Bizarro, it also presents him in a sympathetic light. While there is no doubt that he is a monster, the narrative pulls back the curtain on what has made him this way, almost immediately casting him as a great candidate for a redemptive arc somewhere down the line. However, Aaron makes it clear that in the here and now, Bizarro is an outright villain, powerful enough to place all of Metropolis in very serious danger, with the final twist revealing that even Superman may not be able to stop him.
