Action Comics 984 started spectacularly and ended in the same manner! It's Superman and his world at his best and more importantly, it opens up the mythology of the Man of Steel even more" highly recommended! Read Full Review

The arcs twist ending opens up some fun possibilities. Jurgens might not have delivered on the epic confrontation he teased, but this works out much better for the future of the title. Read Full Review

Jurgens brings some Kryptonian characters back into the fold that accomplish Zod's goals and provide a Rebirth worthy fresh start for the character there's no rest for the Superman Clan because Mr. Oz is on the horizon and his connection to the Superman Line and Zod's newfound place in the DCU will provide ample stories opportunities as the ending exclaims it's a “Beginning”. Revenge culminates with a finale that sets the stage for what's to come, establishes new threats in the form of an appropriate revenge of General Zod and looks good in the process. Action Comics doesn't dive heavily into the fighting and spotlighted villains as much as some would like, it makes up for interactions among the cast, the action from beginning to end, and the consistent art team.

Great fight comics with a surprise twist by the end that changes everything for Zod. Read Full Review

So overall I loved loved loved this arc. It was just a spectacular story, gaining momentum as it moved along rather than slowing down. And it had enough surprise twists to keep me engaged. Plus it was the reinvention of the Superman Family, fighting as a unit. Just wonderful. Read Full Review

With a bit of a surprising ending, this issue wraps up the "Revenge" storyline without loose ends, but with future plans for Zod and family. The continued tease of Mr. Oz maintains the link to the bigger picture. All in all a satisfying ending with some well-placed surprises. Read Full Review

In conclusion a solid ending to this arc. The writing and dialogue was really well done. The art was also very good. This book continues to be as strong as it was from the start and I can’t wait to continue reading. Read Full Review

In this issue, the team of Superheroes learns the strength of a unified team and gains resiliency from an unexpected helper. Read Full Review

"Revenge" started out as a potentially classic Superman story, but it ultimately fell short of greatness. Read Full Review

It wasn't a poorly made comic, and the individual issues have had enough content to satisfy, but hopefully now we'll see a real direction for this book to move in, rather than being kind of a toy chest of Superman characters. Read Full Review

While I enjoyed this issue more than I thought I would, there's still a bunch of problems with it in the long run and a lot of elements to this issue just came off forced to get us to a conclusion and setting all our characters back to their proper status quo so that we can move on from here.  The art was amazing though and there's a bunch to like about this issue, but overall, it wasn't the best conclusion to this arc.   Read Full Review

In a nutshell, the sheer number of characters, events and bits of business in these pages make it feel like it would be better served as two issues, or perhaps as the same story with fewer characters in play (even though that's not how Jurgens does things.) Action Comics #984 is still an above-average read, though, with some lovely art throughout, progressing the plotlines in interesting ways and once again reminding everyone that Mister Oz is out there someplace.

The art is fantastic, the pacing as great and the ending made me excited for future story arches.

While still enjoyable, these past few arcs have blended into one huge arc that is starting to wane my focus and interest. I like the Zod revelations, as well as the family team up, but I think this entire run has been a few issues too long.

Great conclusion, with an unexpected twist. Could it be a buildup for the 1000th issue? Once again, this issue was full with pure action and very fitting artwork. Up next: Mr Oz. Can't wait.

Mr. Oz!
