Script, dialogue, pacing all march to a smart beat and Jon, Superman's son is a brilliant addition to the narrative. Jon serves as a relatable way in for new readers and someone to take the edge off the cynicism for old readers with his wonder and awe of every fantastic thing we, as the older reader, has seen before.

There is not a lot of nuance to the artwork in Action Comics #962. Facial features are not finely detailed, and an unintended side effect of an innovative layout featuring multiple panels shown from above or below is that bodies occasionally appear elongated. However, Path of Doom Conclusion is a story focused on the big picture, so what the graphics lack in subtlety, they make up for with a vitality that is larger than life. Read Full Review

Jurgens resumes Actions most promising angle Superman and Lex Luthor sizing each other up with the hint that it will remain a crucial aspect of the series. With Doomsday defeated its time to see what else Jurgens has in store for Superman. Path of Dooms conclusion was an encouraging step in the right direction. Read Full Review

Overall, Action Comics #962 is a return to form that finally moves the plot along generously, while also stressing the "Action" in the book's title. I can't wait to see what the next issue brings with "Clark Kent," the powerless doppelganger that we've been promised to learn more about. Read Full Review

As a conclusion to the Doomsday arc, this issue was satisfying. While the first few issues may have faltered, the arc really hit its stride with a good mixture of action and character moments. Despite my personal belief that the Doomsday fight overstayed it's welcome a few issues ago, I still enjoyed what these issues had to offer as a look into just who Superman is and how even the classic Superman has changed since his first encounter with the monster. Beyond the addition of a family dynamic, this Superman has shown an ability to learn from past mistakes, to take a more thoughtful approach to protecting the innocent, and as such I believe is the perfect person to represent hope for a new era.

Altogether, as numerous character points and one major cliffhanger suggests an exciting future for the story ‘Path of Doom' has given us, Action Comics has delivered with this arc a well written, well drawn story where Jurgens & Segovia have delivered a massive story for Superman while teasing multiple mysteries and exciting stories to follow. The tale isn't of course over, ever, but it's a strong issue to conclude an entertaining overarching tale. Read Full Review

Our "Path To Doom" story comes to a close with this issue and while all the mysteries that we've been dealing with might not be revealed here, what we do have is a conclusion that seems to have a ton of heart, great character work and awesome looking art.  Yeah, it's still a comic about Superman fighting Doomsday, but it seemed to work better here than it has previously and because of that when I finished this issue I had a smile on my face.......... I just would have liked a little more on the revelatory side of things. Read Full Review

Overall though, Action Comics continues to live up to its title and continues to also focus on heart which allows the series to sore. Read Full Review

Segovia draws some epic fight action, and does an excellent job capturing Wonder Woman's frustration at being sidelined. At times Superman's head seems too small for his body, but for the most part this is a fine looking comic. Read Full Review

While this first arc was held up by too much Superman/Doomsday brawling, it ended well and set the table for a truly unique status quo for the Man of Steel. Ultimately, Jurgens and Co. are trying to challenge Superman on levels above and beyond his physical prowess, which is a bit ironic considering Doomsday has long been his single greatest physical test.

In this case, putting the genie back in the bottle causes the bottle to crack and fracture. At the very least, Action Comics #962 keeps it from shattering completely. There are one too many predictable plot lines, but there are also new and interesting dynamics emerging within the story. It doesn't prevent some parts of that story from being inane at times, but it still finds a way capture the heart of what makes Superman so iconic. Read Full Review

Action is a comic you really want to like, but ultimately seems to only be lurching forward. Read Full Review

This arc ends on a high, all the action is tied up, we get some great character moments and future challenges are teased. Overall I've really enjoyed this opening arc slugfest and I'm interested to see where the series goes now that it's going to slow down for an issue or two,

Nice conclusion that builds upon a mystery that any Superman fan is trying to solve, who is Oz? While the previous few issues felt a little too focused on the action part of the comic, this ending starts to form a great relationship between Superman and Wonder Woman. A good issue for any fan of superman.

The corny dialogue is fixed and kept to a minimum after the last issue but I didn't think this resolution was that great. Superman kind of remembers this way to defeat Doomsday that he could've discovered a few issues back. There are some pretty solid dramatic character moments including a small conversation between Lex Luthor and Superman that provides some motivation for him becoming a costumed super hero.

i don't know what happened? . . . . . . . . . . Dan Jurgens was really hitting it out of the park, but now this series is REALLY dragging, with no satisfying pay-off. . . . . . . . i have hope that he'll get the series back on track. . . . . . . . . . . it's just not happening yet. . . . . . . . . . this story raised too many questions, and didn't answer any of them.

This issue disappointed me a bit, because I was really waiting for it. This arc was amazing and very well written. But finally, not much happens and no important questions is answered. The teasing from the mysterious "watcher" becomes too much heavy. The resolution is too classic and simple. Overall, Dan Jurgens is still showing all his expertise on Superman and references his early work on the character. The art is good but I prefer the last two artists on the title. I will read the next two parts story about Clark Kent and then I will maybe drop the series.

Wonder Woman come save Superman because Lois cant.
