BRAWL OF THE SUPER-MEN! As the Phantom Zone prisoners rain down upon our heroes, only the House of El stands in their way...and Superman will not go down without a fight! It's the brawl to end all super-brawls in this penultimate chapter of the Action Comics weekly! Plus, Supergirl makes a final appeal with hopes of saving the universe.
Next issue is titled Endgame and based on this issue's cliffhanger; it sounds like that will be the finale for Phantoms. It's been a good run, so it'll be interesting to see how it all wraps up. Read Full Review
This is a great opportunity to bring in some old, new, and obscure Superman villains some so obscure I'm not sure if they're originals or not. We've known that Krypton had a lot of prisoners, but it's rarely established what they're actually there for until now. Read Full Review
Action Comics #1080 starts wrapping up the "Phantoms" storyline, featuring plenty of action and some surprisingly emotional moments. However the story ends, this has been a great ride and future Superman writers should look to it for inspiration. Read Full Review
This is one of the stronger issues in this arc. With fun team-ups, exciting art, and interesting villains this is an issue to pick up from the weekly arc. Read Full Review
This is a fun issue overall. Seeing some "old school Bronze Age Phantom Zone villains is definitely a treat, but again the confrontations felt rushed and formulaic towards the end. With each story's cliffhanger, I can't wait to see how the finale plays out. Read Full Review
Why do I get the feeling that Tamaki had a story idea for a 'male/female character split in two that need to reconcile their duality' and just shoved Supergirl into the mix to get it printed? I hope Tamaki doesn't get to write this character for a long time.I hope I see Patridge on new books soon.I can't wait for this to be over. Read Full Review
And now it's back to total garbage. The only purpose this ish served was having Xa-Du return from the pit Aethyr threw him into. Otherwise it was a compilation of meaningless hunting and capturing of generic uninteresting Zoners.
This is really creatively bankrupt to say the least...
