Action Comics #856

Action Comics #856
When the editors admit that the story makes no sense, and yet they publish it anyways, something is seriously wrong. I think that that's the central problem with Bizarro stories. Unless you can ascribe rational motivations to the Bizarro character, you end up veering into lunacy. I haven't read a good Bizarro story since Matt Wagner's Trinity. And this issue is no exception. It's quite obvious that this story doesn't conform to the strictures of continuity. And since it doesn't even really make any sense, not even internally, it doesn't end up being any fun at all. CRAP.
