Action Comics #968 review

The original Man of Steel is trapped in an all-out brawl with the alien Zade after the mysterious Clark Kent activated the signal watch he gave him. Self-proclaimed Superman Lex Luthor, meanwhile, is having problems of his own. That’s the Godslayer, who’s out to off Lex not because he is a god, but because he’s predicted […]

Action Comics #964 review

Clark Kent has high cholesterol. Who knew? That’s the cutest surprise this issue. Well, you’d expect Superman to be burning off the fat like nobody’s business. Then again, this Clark Kent isn’t Superman. Kryptonian tech and a psychic globe prove it as the pre-Flashpoint Superman, who’s taken over for the recently deceased New 52 version, […]

And just as it risks going on too long, Superman’s battle against Doomsday concludes. After several issues of back and forth, with Superman perturbed to find this Doomsday can think strategically, I was beginning to wonder how things would end. But end they do, as Superman lures the monster to his Fortress of Solitude. For […]

Lois, with son Jon at her side, watches Clark emerge from the site of an explosion to resume his fight with the unstoppable monster. Wonder Woman appears, joins the battle and meets the man claiming to be Clark Kent. She, reasonably, assumes he’s […]

We’ve had a lot of Doomsday over the last few years, and he’s long since worn out his welcome. So having him show up at the end of the last issue’s Action Comics had me nervy. He’s a big old monster who exists only to bash people to death – not very interesting, and I’d […]

Lucius Fox’s energy research lab has been targeted by tech raiders. And an old enemy of Superman shows up to scratch a grudge. And […]

Batman/Superman #21 review

It’s not the best time for Superman to have been outed to the world by Lois Lane. Bad guys want a piece of him, but his power levels are right down. He’s surviving frequent attacks by guys with weird energy weapons, but getting worn down. He assumes Lex Luthor is behind his troubles, but the […]
