The main story by Arcudi is a fantastic Conan story with many twists and very good artwork. Conan as a military general is a very interesting idea, especially because Conan clashes with the man who hired him. Between the giant lizards, elephants, Conan as a thief, and a lot of treachery, you can't go wrong.

The Solomon Kane backstory is also awesome, and continues into the next issue. T more

I loved PKJ's run on Action Comics, but sadly the final storyline has been pretty mediocre at best. This ending, as a result, leaves much to be desired. It's just not all that interesting, especially when compared to his Superman/Authority Special, which was truly excellent. Just a poor ending to a run which, up until issue 1056, could be considered one of the all time great Superman runs.

Can't ask for much more from an issue of Action Comics, just exceptionally well done. Even the two backup stories were both really well written. I'll be very sad when Phillip Kennedy Johnson is off the title in a few months as he is easily the best Superman writer of the last decade.

Average at best is a good way to describe this issue. The problem is that very little happens this issue, other than a ton of rather mindless action. So far, PKJ's run on Hulk has been surprisingly sub par, especially considering how phenomenal he is on Action Comics and The Last God.

Wow, this issue was incredible. Artwork was amazing, but Johns' writing really knocked it out of the park. It's such an interesting plot, especially for those who have read Doomsday Clock and Flashpoint: Beyond, but those series are far from required.
