Despite the drawback of the Supergirl story, Action Comics #1074 is actually better than the last issue. Waid continues to use Silver Age concepts and update them with quality writing. Superman is in great form in Action Comics and it feels like it's a new high watermark for the character. This is a must for Superman fans, and probably the best book so far under the All In initiative. Read Full Review
There's also a hilarious subplot involving Conner and Kenan as they battle against a Khund invasion of the space museum, but the real heart of this issue is in the very rare interactions between Superman and his parents. Read Full Review
The great storytelling and exceptional art continue in this weeks issue. The only downside is that the weekly format is causing the story to drag a bit. Despite this, this arc is perfect for new Superman readers and I am excited to see where the story goes. Read Full Review
Action Comics #1074 is another fantastic issue which sees Superman fall further and further away from victory and whilst Superman is in a rush to leave Krypton, I am very much enjoying him being there. Read Full Review
Action Comics #1074 uses time travel for a touching reunion between Superman and his parents, and is all the better for it. Read Full Review
Frankly, I am frustrated with this Supergirl story. Read Full Review
the story is really shaping up well. it has the feel of a Silver-age story with Superman somehow finding himself on Krypton and meeting his birth parents. the artwork is really nice and clean and perfectly suits the story. real Superman fans shouldn't want to miss this!
I am surprised on how even though this story is weekly, it is still very consistent and engaging. Mark Waid is a solid writer for Action comics
Paying $6 for this is a crime. The backup is junk. Absolutely junk.
