This is a great character focused issue that not only addressed a deeper moral dilemma in the humanity of Phantom Zone imprisonment, but the everyday relationships between family members. Those can be complex and multifaceted, but at the end of the day, Sam and Lois and father and daughter and that should override everything else. They can find a way. This issue stands well on its own and is a perfect emotional lead in to next issues anniversary spectacular 80 years in the making- Action Comics #1000! Read Full Review

Yes, this is a fine ending for Jurgens. We get closure here. Sure, this seems as fast as the emotional scenes in Supergirl #19. But we have background with Lois and Sam. We have some history. And you can see how they are ready to try and reconcile even if neither is ready to extend their hand first. Read Full Review

With the big anniversary issue in two more weeks this was a terrific cap to whats been a really strong title before Brian Michael Bendis kicks off his run. This is an easy recommendation for fans of Jurgens work on Action Comics. Read Full Review

Action Comics #1000 is right around the corner and I cannot wait to see what the good folks at DC Comics have in store for us lifelong Superman fans, but still thrill monthly to Jurgens's stories and will continue to...hopefully. Read Full Review

Jurgens last issue is as final as one could make it. Acting as a conclusion to everything that came before,Action Comics is primed and ready for issue 1,000 and more stories about the Man of Steel. Jurgens, Conrad, Nunes, and Leigh just had to make sure they hit an emotional high note before they had to wrap up. Read Full Review

This is a humble comic book issue as Clark uses his strength to bring an enemy towards reformation while uses his farm-boys manners to bring a two drifted family members closer. I thoroughly enjoy this and I think you will too. Read Full Review

Overall, Action Comics #999 is a well-written and well-illustrated issue with a somewhat unsatisfactory resolution. Read Full Review

Action Comics #999 was a fitting farewell from Dan Jurgens who has easily created one of the best interpretations of Superman in a long-time. Complementing the story is the fantastic art from Will Conrad who successfully celebrates the mythology of Superman and his supporting cast. From here, Action Comics #1000 is coming that will celebrate 80 years of the Man of the Steel! Read Full Review

Action Comics #999 is an all-around feel-good comic. Bridges are mended. Kindness is shown. People bond. Plus, the art is solid to boot. This one earns a recommendation. Give it a read. Read Full Review

The story does a nice job connecting all of the story arcs in the most recent Superman and Action books which involved Jor-El, the conflict with Zod on New Krypton, and General Lane's return. In addition, the story provides closure for these story arcs that were not always very engaging as a reader. Read Full Review

Action Comics #999 is an excellent end point as the torch is passed to a new team next month. Read Full Review

The next issue is issue 1000 and I would be shocked if it wasnt a bombastic adventure featuring over the top action and crazy fight sequences. With that in mind, its probably a good thing to have an issue like this every now and then that focuses on the other parts of the Kents lives. We do sometimes need that reminder that Superman is Clark Kents alter ego and not the other way around. We know the peace wont last for long but I personally enjoyed the opportunity to spend some time with the Kents in a (relatively) normal situation. Read Full Review

Will Conrad is given several diverse locales this issue to portray, which he does with flair. His pencils are better suited for more action-centric work, but he's no slouch in drawing scenes that are heavily focused on conversation. The scenes he sets in space are particularly exceptional.

A good issue before we reach the historic #1,000, which is harder to do than you think: it has to mean something, yet not do too much. Read Full Review

It wasn't filler by any means and was a good little story but it did nothing to amp my excitement for next issue. I guess they can't all be super. Read Full Review

Action Comics #1000 isn't here just yet, but issue 999 will do just fine for now. Jurgens delivers a true Superman story without the use of a bad guy. I'm glad that Jurgens understands what characteristicsmake Superman who he is. It's not the muscles, the lasers, or even the trunks. It's Superman's unwavering morals, loyalty, and kind nature that makes Superman a timelesssuccess. Read Full Review

Dan Jurgens' final issue before the landmark 1000th issue of Action Comics provides a nice end note to a run that was consistently about fatherhood and forgiveness. Read Full Review

Jurgens has had the unenviable task of trying to make sense out of a VERY tangled Superman continuity, and usually, it works. This issue, I'm not so sure he was able to stick the landing. Read Full Review

All in all, I feel like this issue was acceptable, not great, but like I said, at the end of a long run an issue wrapping things up is pretty necessary so I won't rail on this one too hard, next stop 1000!!!! Read Full Review

Dan Jurgens's run on "Action Comics" closes with a feeling of hope for the future. Read Full Review

While there is extensive recap of things we've dealt with in this series and even from the last arc, this issue of Action Comics actually left me with "the feels" by the end of the book, as it was just a love letter to the character about why is he the world's greatest superhero.  Read Full Review

Somewhat a filler issue, but pretty decent. The majority of the issue serves mainly as a recap in advance of the 1000th issue, but also continues to move the story forward. Nice to see that it wasn't actually Booth on the art duties, as the cover suggested.

Ok, it is a filler issue. Designed to hold us over to the issue 1000. That being said it's a good filler. We get some really nice art by Will Conrad and few really good and interesting character moments.

Thanks to Clarks little Kansas charm and magic Lois finally reconciles with her father, while Superman decides to try a different approach to locking up his villains. And in doing so maybe giving them a chance to change for the better?

And next month issue 1000. Can't wait.

Very clearly just a stopgap before the 1000 milestone and overall was kind of boring, but not without its good moments. The art was very good in this issue, but the story only mediocre
