    Action Comics #1071 is, once again, a fun, exciting and entertaining comic book that you should be reading. There's enough classic mixed with the current status quo to make this a Man of Steel that is accessible to all readers. Waid doesn't leave anyone in the dust.

    exploring the Phantom Zone seems like a novel idea to me, so really excited about how that's going to turn out. it feels like it has a lot of potential to spawn a ton of stories in the coming years. the artwork is really nice and clean and tells the story nicely. I liked the back up feature, but the theme of exploration seemed a bit too similar to the main story.
