7. Burnin’ Down the House

Superman #701, Page Ten: Okay, so we actually managed to get a decent number of pages into this issue without another stupid moment. Of course, this one is a doozy.

Ohhhhhh, boy, here we go.

While passing through Philadelphia, Superman finds out that there are drug dealers in the city. He decides to deal with it by walking over to go save the day, I guess. He finds the only drug dealer in Philadelphia (because there is only one, apparently), who immediately calls Superman on the fact that he doesn’t have a search warrant, and therefore can’t get the necessary evidence to arrest him. Superman then decides to use his heat vision to just burn down the drug dens.

Now, I don’t know a lot about drugs, but I’ve watched enough Breaking Bad to know that burning down a meth lab is maybe a really bad idea. Something to do with explosions and residential areas.
