So basically, this issue has one of the weakest arcs since the beginning of the event, but the second arc isso good that the creative teambrings the overall quality back to where it previously was,creating even higher expectations for the future of this story. Read Full Review

"Doomed" is always at its best whenever it passes through Action Comics. It's almost a shame it's not confined solely to this title. Read Full Review

Whatever your opinion of these unique changes to the multiple Superman series, it has been an exciting and surprising ride that is has been intriguing, to say the least. And with an art team as skilled as this one, this book, no matter what defect or disliking the overall story may have, will always be be regarded in high quality. The conclusion of this issue is proof that, no matter how much has changed for Superman, its about to get a lot worse for him, and a lot better for us. Read Full Review

While it feels way too much like a Hulk story, it still manages to work due to some interesting internal monologuing by Superman and a very real threat looming for Earth. Read Full Review

So overall an up and down issue. Most of my criticism is leveled at the portrayal of Supergirl, incongruous with the last three months of her story. But the Doomed plot progresses. We have a great cliffhanger. And Aaron Kuder's art is stunning. Read Full Review

Supergirl and Superdoom Superman had a very interesting interaction, but something was just off. Superman acted shocked when he saw her as a Red Lantern even though an entire issue of Red Lanterns was devoted to having Guy Gardener explain to Superman about Red Lantern Supergirl. Supergirl's reaction to Superman was a little odd too. I know she is trying to help him make the best of a bad situation, but he is infected with freaking Doomsday. No good is gonna come out of that.

If you can ignore the parts where Doomsday is involved, the story's not half-bad, and Kuder's art is always worth looking at. Read Full Review

Action Comics #33 is a book with the unenviable burden of setting the stage for bigger moments to come. In that extent, it succeeds even when hampered by the reality of the issue. Superman: Doomed has a lot of potential planted by this opening issue. While there are some bumps here and there, the creative team has enough heart and hard work with this book to make a return trip more than valid. We just need to pick up the pace a bit.

Action Comics #33 may have some good dialog and continues making Steel and Lana into badasses, but it really doesn't push the Doomed story forward at all.  Aaron Kuder's art is good, but you could skip this issue and not miss much.  If your reading Doomed, get it.  If you're an Action Comics fan not reading Doomed, skip it.

ACTION COMICS #33 is not a bad issue by any means, but it feels a tad out of place and doesn't move the story forward as the rest of the issues in this event. Pak does do a wonderful job with SuperDoom's narration throughout the issue to a point where it feels poetic. The art team, as always, does a great job as well, but all-in-all, it's just an ok issue. If this is on your pull list, keep it on because Doomed is still the best Superman story of the New 52, regardless of one or two decent issues. Read Full Review

ACTION COMICS #33 is good, but feels a little meandering. Read Full Review

Action Comics #33 suffers from a misshapen narrative. Although certain sequences, namely the combat, are eye-catching, there is not much else to keep the reader engaged. "Superman: Doomed" has bogged down the series and, unless things move in a better direction, there will not be much of a reason to pick up Action Comics until the arc has finished. Read Full Review
