Just read the preview for FCBD Rafael Albuquerque can't draw worth a crap. Look at the heads and faces...What the hell?

Idk...can never get behind these books ruining my childhood heroes but cool art?

Bad art with beyond boring "stories" with no action for 99% of the book. Queer people might actually like to see SOME fighting instead of feeling in their SUPER HERO comics once in a while. Also, I thought Tim Sheridan was all but hurt over DC not supporting his Gay Lantern book and was done with them. I guess not....unfortunately. I think this book is a prime example of how agendas and identity do not really equal talent. Spend some money on quality talent to show you care about a group of people instead of simple lip service at a gouging ten dollar price tag. more

Joshua Williamson has been killing it in Superman. And I love how Dan Mora is still going strong and puts out beautiful work on Superman as well. Dan Mora is slowly turning into one of my favorite artists of all time. I love the coloring and the writing for the characters.

Just bad, nothing redeeming about this book. Please take the character of Superman out of the hands of these people.

Garbage. Hot garbage.

This book just keeps on trudging on getting worse and worse. It would be nice if the creators put some effort in.

normal setup issue.

The parts with Lois are the best, the white uniform is also beautiful.

This one shot does a fantastic job capturing the feels of what Superman is all about. Nothing ground breaking but just a nice story showing what a great guy Clark is. What really makes this issue special is the amazing art from all 3 artists, with Jorge Jimenez especially standing out. Jimenez brings so much life to his arc full of energy any emotion. Young Lana & Clark couldn't have been drawn any cuter. Perfect way to kick off the Summer of Superman!

Only flaw to the issue is the brutally cringy after school special soap box commentary on global warming. I'm no climate change denier, but that scene belongs a children's show. more

Meh, 46 pages for nothing to happen and not really set up anything of interest. The story is slow paced and the lecture on climate change in the middle of the story wasn't needed. As for the art, I mean if all the characters dropped acid that could explain why their eyes are 2/3's the size of their head. It's not an artistic style it's lack of artistic talent. Save your money kids the Summer of Superman looks to be a let down...Yet again. We would be better off hoping for a Summer of George. more

The finale to this three issue storyline is rather mediocre. It feels very by the numbers, and while you can tell it’s supposed to be some sort of moving, “gray area” thing to “challenge” Superman it comes off very pedestrian. There’s no real insight, it just feels like something you’ve read before. Had the characters involved been more significant it would’ve had more impact. It’s not something that can be pulled off within three issues effectively without a deeper connection for the reader. more

This storyline was a waste of time and resources. I barely cared about any of the characters or their motivations. Poorly plotted, very little character development of any depth, no action except for a weak page or two of a very lame fight with paper-thin villains. John Ridley shouldn’t be writing Superman stories. Such a comedown after Waid’s epic.

Quick review. I didn't hate this ending, the build up to this entire story was garbage but the ending was decent, art wasn't horrible. Just having Lois be smarter or a therapist to Clark was totally forced. Don't forget without Lois he can't act on his own...Would have made more sense with him talking to Pa Kent instead of Lois. We can't have that though because we have to push that agenda of "Strong female characters" in comics. So yeah, would have been better if not bogged down with dogma pandering that no one wants to pay for. more

I didn't hate this issue as much as some people did. I thought some of the jokes didn't land like the MIB reference and I do agree that there are too many human characters in the book. I did like some of the interactions. I liked the reveal as I'm a fan of the relationship between Hawkgirl and Stewart, however, I don't like the designs on either. Everyone said that Jeremy didn't really write this issue. I'm not sure how true that is.

Very disappointing that Jeremy Adams chose to pander to the DCAU fans who don't buy comics and ruin Shayera's character development. John/Shayera is just a shit pairng that has done dirty to the Hawks franshise. Also it is really a bummer that while every fan wants to see is Hal/Sinestro dynamics, Jeremy Adams stole Hal's frenemy relationship with Sinestro and gave that to John. Come on, hasn't John taken enough things away from Hal? more

Who is this garbage written for? The demographic that dosen't exist and that DC Comics will never create? A waste of paper and ink.

As if you needed another reason to hate the character of Alexander Rodchenko. His "Errand of Valor" is little more than an anti-capitalist fan fiction. Usally this book is one that I enjoy, this issue made me want to throw up. Yes, Star Trek has been progressive but it has been done in context of the story and in subtle details of the story. This just craps it out on the page and calls it Art. I don't know if this was an attempt and pandering but it missed the mark big time. Do better Mr. Cantwell. more

The sole saving grace of Action Comics #1028 is that it exists outside the current "All In" disaster, sparing readers from that incoherent mess of a storyline. Unfortunately, any relief is short-lived, as this issue replaces one set of problems with another, offering up a misguided attempt to "modernize" Superman's world in ways that completely alienate long-time fans.

The central issue here is the portrayal of Lois Lane, who, in this story, is framed as the all-knowing sage tasked with helping Superman recover from—brace yourself—losing hope. Yes, Superman, the Man of Tomorrow, the symbol of resilience and optimism, apparently needs to be lectured back into shape by Lois, who draws on her "vast experience" as an award-winning journalist to play therapist to the greatest hero on Earth. This dynamic is not only absurd, but it completely undermines Superman as a character. If this is the writing that had greeted me when I first started reading Superman, I would have stopped right then and there.

Lois has always been a key part of the Superman mythos, but her role is simple and effective: she gets into trouble, cries for help, and Superman saves the day. How hard is it to understand and stick to this formula? It's classic, it works, and it gives readers what they want—a heroic Superman. Instead, this issue flips the dynamic, turning Lois into the alpha figure and Superman into a lost puppy, as if the writers are deliberately trying to invert the roles to push some kind of modern messaging. The result is a story that feels alien to everything Superman fans have come to love about these characters.

And let’s not ignore the elephant in the room: this kind of storytelling is a major reason why sales are in the toilet. The people in charge seem to have no idea who their audience is or why Superman has endured for decades. Readers don’t come to Superman for forced ideological posturing or "message over myth." They come for stories of hope, heroism, and inspiration. When you discard those core principles for the sake of fixing what isn’t broken, you alienate the very audience that made these characters iconic in the first place.

In conclusion, Action Comics #1028 is a case study in how not to write Superman. It takes everything that made the character and his world timeless and replaces it with a heavy-handed attempt to reshape the dynamic into something unrecognizable. It’s frustrating, disappointing, and another sad example of why the Superman franchise is struggling to connect with readers today. more

Another strong issue. I like the beginning banter that allowed the villain to slip up. I almost thought they were going to submit to his request. The villa looks a bit too much like Dr. Manhattan, however. Poor Jimmy, always in the wrong place at the right time. I'm still not a fan of the Superwoman character and I am looking forward to everything going back to normal with Lois soorner rather than later. Which will also mean a conflict with Zod.

Superman has long stood as the ultimate symbol of strength, virtue, and the responsibility that comes with great power. But in Superman #22, none of that seems to matter. Instead of a compelling story that respects its characters and mythology, we are subjected to a cringeworthy exercise in ideological pandering, where the actual Superman is sidelined to make way for Lois Lane—now rewritten as an insufferable feminist propaganda tool. Worse yet, in an absurd and completely unearned twist, Lois is inexplicably given the same powers as Superman, further diminishing any remaining sense of stakes or meaning.
It is difficult to overstate just how grating and poorly written Lois Lane is in this issue. Gone is the sharp, tenacious journalist who earned her place in Superman’s world through intelligence and determination. In her place, we have a smug, self-righteous, and utterly flawless figure who exists solely to be admired, praised, and elevated above all others.

The most baffling moment in this issue is when the villain calls her a “Queen.” This is already absurd enough, but then Superman—Superman—repeats it as though it is some sort of divine truth. It is as if the comic is demanding the audience acknowledge Lois as the true central figure of this universe, no matter how undeserving she may be.

And now, as if forcing every character to grovel before her wasn’t enough, the writers have decided to give her Superman’s powers. Yes, Lois Lane, without the background, the training, or the decades of self-sacrificing heroism that define Clark Kent, is simply handed godlike abilities. This is not earned. This is not compelling. This is nothing more than ideological wish-fulfillment, designed to push an agenda rather than tell a good story.

Just when you think this issue couldn’t get any lazier, the writers drag out Doomsday—once a legendary villain, now nothing more than a cheap tool used whenever a story lacks substance. There was a time when Doomsday’s presence meant something. He was the ultimate test of Superman’s strength, a force of destruction that required the hero to make the ultimate sacrifice.

But now? He’s just there, serving no real purpose beyond adding superficial stakes to an already pointless story. His inclusion does not build tension, nor does it advance the plot in any meaningful way. It is yet another symptom of a book that has no real ideas and is simply pulling from the most predictable bag of tricks.

This is practically unreadable. It is quite evident that Torunn doesn't understand the Catwoman character. Catwoman should stay in Gotham, having her galavanting around Europe dilutes the character. I like Torunn's Red Sonja, but even that got nonsensical by the end. This is a drop for me. It's sad that no one can write Catwoman or Wonder Woman right now.

I'm not a big fan of this superstars thing going on. Back and forth on writers and jumping to stories that take place before current events doesn't make me want to come back every month and John Ridley is certainly not a Superman superstar. This feels as boring as Straczynski's grounded run to me and the art is a bit of a let down. This is no where near a $5 book.
