This Supergirl backup story is horrible.
The secret history of one of Superman's oldest friends, Mon-El, is revealed...and his deadly connection to Xa-Du, the Phantom King, leaves Superman speechless! The Man of Steel's mission into the corrupt heart of the Zone continues in the most shocking installment yet of the Action Comics weekly as the grand villain behind its peril stands poised to strike! Plus, Supergirl finds herself in pursuit of an assassin seeking justice of their own!
The reveal about Kara's new power and the power she no longer has continues to create a sense of uncertainty in the post Absolute Power world, and it's great to see Kara in another space adventure. Read Full Review

Action Comics #1072 ends with a major revelation that shows just how much the Phantom Zone has changed in Superman's absence and will make you wish that a week goes by so you can pick up the next issue. Read Full Review
Action Comics #1072 is a great issue that goes along way to explain to Superman and the readers exactly what the stakes are. After reading this issue I am even more excited to find out what is going to happen! Read Full Review
Action Comics #1072 puts its foot on the brake as it slows the pace down to spend time providing exposition to explain to readers what's really taking place in the Phantom Zone and revealing who the real threats are in the story. Mariko Tamaki, on the other hand, still leaves us in the unknown about what's really going on with her mission but still manages to keep us hooked on the mystery of her prisoner and the Judge.

Action Comics #1072 is another great outing for Superman. Waid's love of the character and his history is tantamount to enjoying this story, especially for old readers. Hopefully, new readers will find something to love about Mon-El and the friendship between these two Legionnaires. The Supergirl story is stumbling a bit, but looks great. Overall, Action Comics is still a great read! Read Full Review
Can I also say the last page is odd? It seems like the robot judge 'dies' but there is also a panel where it looks like Supergirl uses her hypnovision on the judge before. I don't know what that means ... We still don't have any solid information on who this is or why Kara is alone here. Any guesses yet on the baddie? Someone big enough to tick off a lot of people. Maybe it will all come together in the end. Read Full Review
Action Comics #1072 was another fun read - traveling the Phantom Zone with Mon-El on a floating ship while fighting off monsters - is exactly what I would want from this comic! The heroes are on a straight forward journey and so is the narrative … but there is something to be said for a story that knows where it’s going.
The b-plot involving Superboy and Kong Kenan (Super-Man?) Feels very familiar - yet still a fun diversion. There are a lot of cool easter eggs in the museum (including a nod to Invasion).
The Supergirl backup … why is this here??? This was probably the best installment and it was still dull. This is a top tier All In title … if not for these Supergirl backups it would rank much higher.
Backups have just been bad lately
