    This is essentially a hard-sci-fi story, and it's a great change of pace from Superman's usual style. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd Oct 16, 2024

    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. It's easy enough to jump in on both stories. Read Full Review

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Oct 23, 2024

    I don't like the hypno-vision to begin with. But once added to the armamentarium and having seen her use it so easily, the writer has to tell or show us why Supergirl wouldn't use it.  Two chapters in. Lots of question. Lots of plot contrivances. The art as of now seems wasted here. Read Full Review
