METROPOLIS IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF A VILLAINOUS CONSPIRACY! The second chapter of this tale of truth and hope! As Clark Kent digs into what drove Major Disaster back to crime, he begins to uncover a greater conspiracy involving previously reformed villains. But when the noble reporter gets too close to the truth, he finds himself under attack? Now, only one person can take over his investigation--Superman!
I was pleasantly surprised with the villain reveal in Action Comics #1083. The Batman cameo works itself organically within the story and doesn't take away from Clark's own investigative skills. All in all this is shaping up to be a very memorable tale. Read Full Review
This is a pretty good example of combining emotionally true storytelling with sci-fi concepts in superhero writing, and it does a very good job of showing just how determined Superman can be when a case really hits him in the right emotional place. The ending introduces another set of villains that I didn't really recognize, but with only one issue left to go, Ridley has a whole lot of interesting elements to tie up. Read Full Review
Action Comics #1083pulls back the curtain on the "mystery" surrounding Major Disaster's fall from recovery. John Ridley's criminal conspiracy is an even mix of convoluted plot and boring execution with a hefty dash of plot holes sprinkled on top. The art's decent enough, but the story is a mess.5/10 Read Full Review
This new arc promises interesting themes and ideas but that promise has not been delivered yet. This issue is just okay with middle-of-the-road art and some questionable plot choices. I am hoping the finale of this arc pulls this story together. Read Full Review
I don't know if that's my Superman. I suppose that maybe this story ends with him realizing he needs self-help. But I don't read Superman for that either. I need my heroes ... Anyways, here we are. Read Full Review
