Action Comics #1077 delivers on so much in the Superman story and it's worth it solely for that alone- story, art, action, character beats.

Action Comics #1077 is packed full of intense action sequences, but also carries a story that's true to the core of Superman. Now as he races back to Earth, Superman has another Herculean task ahead of him. I have faith Waid and Henry will guide the Man of Steel through it. Read Full Review
But really this boils down to that one page. Will Tamaki leave it open-ended forcing the reader to decide? Or is there more to come? At least there is something for me to mull over! Here we are, chapter 8 of 10 behind us. Read Full Review
I’ll say it every week. This backup is ass. It’s like kings supergirl but without the true grit plot and pretentiousness.
