Wow....Superman is no-longer an American. in the 900th Action Comic, he apparently has a feud with the Federal government, and renounces his U.S. Citizenship.
I can understand being sick of the Federal Government, and if this is a statement on how out of control and oppressive it has become, I get it, but from what I understand, it isn't that at all.
I feel like Superman, has become a symbol of patriotism. An immigrant, who took to the American way of life, saw that it was good, and wanted to defend it, even with his life.
I think Superman is a hero kids can rally around, and has always been a unifying icon against tyranny AS AN AMERICAN....I haven't read this newest issue for myself, and haven't bought a superman comic in years, or even liked the movies, but I still find this twist pretty troubling.
