Superman continues to inch forward to discover who or what is responsible for the universe's Rebirth. This is incredibly fun and having Booster Gold become involved will only increase a reader's delight. The visuals are great, with some terrific scenes of the book's co-star. A winner in every way.

Action Comics #993 gets a strong recommendation. Booster Gold is back and as great as ever. The Superman story is quite interesting, and the art team does some damn fine work. Give this one a read. Read Full Review

Where "The Oz Effect" felt very heavy and depressing, this story line's first chapter seems to offer something more in keeping with Superman's nature. It also seems to promise a definitive answer to Superman's questions about Jor-El. It's also at the heart of the Doomsday Clock/Rebirth/Watchmen storyline that's been unfolding for the past year and a half. These elements are critical to the DCU and Superman. It feels like a tale that shouldn't be missed! Read Full Review

I have no idea where this story is going, which increases the intrigue. Read Full Review

Booster Shot already shows a lot of potential and with the rare Superman/Booster Gold team-up, Jurgens has a potentially great dynamic to play with in this arc. Read Full Review

Action Comics continues to be the fun companion to Tomasi & Gleason's phenomenal Superman run, and this is an overall good issue that ends in a gripping cliffhanger that I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Read Full Review

Dan Jurgens, an iconic writer/artist on both Superman and Booster Gold, finally gets to team up his favorites again on an issue where he once again takes art duties. And like Tony Isabella, Gerry Conway, Marv Wolfman, and others, he shows he hasn't lost a step Read Full Review

Action Comics #993 was classic Superman at its best and Jurgens successfully delivers another fun issue of everyone's favourite son of Krypton but more importantly, it was great seeing Booster Gold back in the DCU after his absence. Complementing the engaging text and story was the art by Dan himself which was finished by Joe Prado and Cam Smith who helped with the finishing touches. I also loved the full page panels employed by Jurgens, especially the close-ups that were filled with emotion and overall, the action scenes flowed well. However like the Oz Effect arc, there's definitely more to this story than meets the eye and I'm placing bets on a parallel reality! Read Full Review

Superman travels back in time to discover what secrets lie around the destruction of Krypton Booster Gold goes back to stop him, and they both find themselves trapped in an unknown timeline! Read Full Review

While it is always entertaining to see Superman flung through time and subjected to Hi-Fi's beautifully colored double-page splashes of fractured time, it is Action Comics #993's down-to-earth moments that make this issue feel truly like a "Superman Family" book. Read Full Review

Story wise its a 2 out of 5 because its supposed to be a setup issue. Heres the deal, there were some fragmentary panels of Kryptonians I just couldnt identify that artist Steve Pugh took the time to draw really well, and I cant help but speculate if this is the first appearance issue for some of the folks we will be seeing in SYFYs Krypton series slated for 2018. If thats the case this becomes a 4 out of 5 and must pick-up. Read Full Review

A solid start to what is certain to be a good arc from Superman legend Dan Jurgens. I'm really excited to see where this arc takes us, and really hope to see more Booster Gold! Read Full Review

The art helps with Jurgens taking the helm and a look that looks like DC of the past. That's not a bad thing at all but Jurgens and others from his era have a different style than artists from the last decade. So, art wise, it looks more like the Superman comics I read growing up as a kid. The panel layouts and flow have more in common with those comics than those of today. Read Full Review

A solid start though it has its hiccups. Read Full Review

There are definitely worse issues, however this fell short of its trajectory. Read Full Review

"Action Comics" #993 is crass and absurd but the nostalgic attitude and artwork make for an engaging read. Read Full Review

While the story that we're dealing with in Action Comics seems really important, this installment to that arc really isn't........... you know, unless you want to know the basics about Booster Gold or see the set up for a Lois Lane story.  Besides that though, not much Superman or Krypton in this issue and that was pretty disappointing.  Thankfully, the art was decent though, I just wanted more out of the story at hand. Read Full Review

The story is fun and exciting, as Booster mounts a rescue mission to prevent Superman from changing time any more than it has been. And while Booster and the Flash are both experienced time-traveller, its clear they have differing views on the ramifications of stepping into the past. Read Full Review

But between the forced Flash-fight, the overlooked Supergirl origin, and the return to Krypton, I sort of winced my way through this. The other histories look interesting. Now that we are here maybe the plot will blossom. Read Full Review

In conclusion, this isn’t really a great issue at all. We are not given any indication of the direction of the story. We know basically as much as we did last time and this issue does little to progress this. Read Full Review

GREAT STORY!

This story is off to a good start. Loving the art, which really suits this story. Booster Gold is always nice to see.

Booster Gold! So good to see him back and written so well. Really enjoyed this issue, but the Lois subplot didn't fit and took me out of the story. Otherwise, excited for next issue.

Nice read, but it kinda felt like filler,I think this issue could have started where it ended. Overall it was ok.

Interesting story, interesting character with Booster Gold, the art is decent, but something feels lacking. The story does not lift you, does not bring any momentum and, despite the "hugeness" of the story (time travel, krypton, which have had huge impact on the DC universe before), it all feels small and bland. I'm not entirely sure how to describe it, but a story that could be so big on many level manages to let you "meh" at the end. Just after the Oz Effet which pretty much left the same impression, one can assume Action Comics has a lot of work to do to go back to what it once was.

Well, this the first time I not sure of what I will tell. I doing french review for a while now, and english one here for two month.
So you didn't know me well enough for a review with bad notation but with optimisum. And If I give a good notation but that didn't feel like justified I lied to myself & more importantly to you.

So I will what did I read. I read a story where Booster Gold have a huge part on the positive side of the balance. But I didn't like the fight with The Flash. Ok that's logic Flash taking some disposition to know when someone use his treadmill. But like Booster he's very late and (worse for a science investigator) have a wrong idea of the situation.
Then we have superman close to krypton & pushed away, then having two diverging story. If it's presence give the opportunity to do that, I think it's not well explained.
The part about Jon & Lombard seems forced, and that Lombard is a Booster Gold Fan too. But that lead to Perry & Lois conversation.
That's a Ok situation, but in the same time I don't care about General Lane (I preferred when Lois try to avoid the Other Lois family), but in the same time missed her family. Their I didn't like the false remote relationship between them. All that about a Story Lois right ... Well in truth didn't because at the time their was 2 Lois et nor of them write that. Hell, the autor X book on Intercrime didn't exist anymore ? That suck !
Then we are back on Krypton. A different one where Jor El et Zod team-up. And frankly I don't really care. And oh Shocking Superman have no power anymore (He can really be dum sometime).
So I wished a good story about Booster & Superman Teaming-up, and for now it's not what I read. We don't have clue about if he have find rip or what he was doing this whole time. I even wonder if the other booster still exist now that the New52 seem forgotten.

Cover - 1/2 ... Nice but could have been more Nicer. Not really in relation with this reading even if that's a little in rel more
