Now that is an incredible ending to an incredible issue. What is Zod's secret mission? Why did he leave Kara out of the zone? Where are Jon and Lois? I want more. I want it now. I'll be here under the tree in the backyard of the summer house! Read Full Review

The Superman Family/Revenge Squad conflict was fun, but I was thrilled to see Jurgens has another layer to this arc beyond the team showdown. Action continues to be a vastly improved read for Superman fans. Read Full Review

This is everything that Action Comics should be, my jaw actual fell in shock at the events that unfolded. Absolutely everything is up in the air after this issue, and I don't have any guesses of what could happen next. A must read for the week. Read Full Review

While this easily could've been a run of the mill fight issue, the inclusion of Zod's personal indignation at Superman's family adds a unique element to their conflict. Clearly Zod is missing his own family and it intensifies his hate for the son of Jor-El. Read Full Review

The addition toBogdanovic and Glapion to the art team gives us an Action Comics where the characters come across rounder and better drawn for the action scenes, full of life and expression, and looking quite well. The colors by Spicer come off uniquely on their own in the confusion of capes and too many people with an “S” on their chest. This installment of “Revenge” serves as the beginning of the end for the Revenge Squad and finally united Superman Family as Jurgens and the art team let loose. It clearly displays why the book is called Superman: Action Comics in the first place. Read Full Review

A good fight issue with sharp art! Read Full Review

This issue was definitely the most action-heavy of the arc. The vast majority of the issue is dedicated to the big, but anything less would have cut short the over-powered slugfest we were promised at the end of the last issue. The relatively straightforward issue was well punctuated by the surprising twist ending. Read Full Review

The cliffhanger has a lot of potential, but it feels like a lot of the momentum for this story hit a wall. Read Full Review

While we get to a pretty cool cliffhanger in this issue, everything else just felt lackluster in the long run because while we're supposed to be excited for the big battle against the Superman Revenge Squad and The Super-League, there really wasn't much there and the art was mixed for me because I wasn't a fan of how some of the villains looked and how the color in this issue seemed completely drowned out.  I hope things pick up in the following issue because right now, this arc just seems to be spinning its wheels and not giving us much, which seems crazy for how big it initially felt.

Action Comics #983 progressed this story arc in an enjoyable, yet predictable way. The battle between the Super-family and the Revenge Squad ultimately takes a back seat to Superman and Zod's fight, which was disappointing. But, there's no sign of this story arc slowing down any time soon, and I still have high hopes for the upcoming conclusion. Read Full Review

I wontspoil the ending, though I may not need to. Anyone who follows comic books forany length of time knows you can rely on a villain to do one thing: servehimself. I just hope the next chapter isnt so predictable. Read Full Review

Books with multiple heroes and villains in it have a tendency to spread themselves thin at times, which can lead to choppy dialogue and no true story progression. This however was not the case with this issue. The character interactions were well made, with the only problem being that this arc is already too long.

The sloppy setup to get here still lingers and the big fight was less than satisfying but everything else was pretty much the stuff of a good superhero comic book adventure with dreadful cliffhangers and an madman supervillain super-eme.

Supergirl isn't in the Phantom Zone in this issue of Action Comics but she is in the Phantom Zone of her own title, Supergirl. Also Supergirl kicked the ass of Cyborg Superman in her own title, Supergirl but it is not the same Cyborg Superman in this issue of Action Comics... Phantom Zone? More like Twilight Zone!! No, ok I'll show myself out...

I will repeat myself and just say how much I am enjoying this arc. This is what you are supposed to get from ACTION Comics. Plus, Bogdanovic's art is always a nice addition.

GREAT

This arc is definitely disappointing.
