What if each issue of Action Comics really was a month in the life of Superman? It would mean his life would be like this:
May: Stop Lex from using Kryptonian battle suit to ruin city
June: Fight Bloodsport on a bridge
July: Participate in semi-annual DC Universe cross-over event; meet an alternate-timeline version of parents; watch the universe get destroyed (again).
August: Fight old home-town friend now out to kill me
September: Track down Eradicator because I think he’s making me crazy
October: Continue to go insane; steal a body from S.T.A.R. Labs and fight the Special Crimes Unit.
November: Let Supergirl take the spotlight while I share a plane ride with Perry White
December: Fight hi-tech ninja but finish in time to spend New Years with Lois
January: Get caught in a trap with Mr. Miracle
February: Fight a possessed Guy Gardner
Whew. No wonder they needed skip weeks.
