    Makes me want a Superman family anthology series.  At the very least, Johnson does a great job here. It is a short back-up so not everyone gets dialogue or action. But what we get, I love. Read Full Review

    This is easily the most unpredictable the Superman titles have been in years, and stripping Superman of every one of his tools besides the ones that matter most has been a brilliant development. Read Full Review

    This entire epic has been, well, epic a display of everything that makes Superman the greatest superhero of all time. Action Comics 1046 just brings that all home, demonstrating Clark Kents resourcefulness and determination as well as his bottomless compassion. Im a little sad to see the Warworld saga coming to a close, but excited to see what comes after. Read Full Review

    As this Warworld arc draws to a close, it's worth noting how this concept probably wouldn't have worked as well with many writers. Johnson's firm command of Superman at his core made it successful and now it's time for the overdue return of Kal-El. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - David Harth Sep 10, 2022

    Action Comics #1046 is a great penultimate chapter. Johnson is excellent at making an action-packed story, but he has no problem showing why the heroes are heroes. He does that with Superman and Steel in this issues stories. Ossio, Loughridge, Lapham, Mulvihill, and Sharpe supply the story with amazing visuals. This issue does an incredible job of getting everyone ready for the finale of this brilliant story. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Eric Shea Aug 23, 2022

    The art is a bit of a mixed bag for me overall, but boy did I enjoy our main Action Comics story because while this story has been all about showing Superman being super without his powers, this issue just cranks that up to eleven but none of it ever feels forced or out of place for what's going on. I just wish that the art and the backup were as strong overall, even though the backup does offer some fan service and some good times. Read Full Review
