Action Comics (2016) #1001

Jul 25, 2018

Brian Michael Bendis' Superman saga that started in the Man of Steel mini-series continues here in Action Comics, and while I find myself enjoying most of what Bendis is doing, I feel as though readers are going to get tired, sooner or later, continuing the same story week after week. But, Patrick Gleason's illustrations are amazing and do more than just complement Bendis' script.

While the color work does earn this book some extra points, what deserves the most credit in this issue is the ending. Now, while the ending isn't a cliffhanger per se, it is a bit of a jaw-dropper.

And while I'm not about to spoil it here, I will say that the ending gives me hope for the future of the series. I have a feeling that things are about to get a whole lot worse for Victor.

I, unfortunately, fall into the second group and am disappointed by the book. It's well-written and well-illustrated but doesn't do the Queen of Atlantis justice...

Superman (2016) #42

Mar 7, 2018

Superman (2016-) #42 is one of the best Superman comic books that I've read in quite some time thanks to its focus having been placed on Bizarro and his son Boyzarro. Enticing illustrations and an incredibly well-written script make this issue one not to miss. Tomasi and Gleason have done a great job with their time in Bizarro World and I am eager to see where they'll take us next as this story progresses.
