The Aspiring Kryptonian Comic Reviews

Action Comics #1072 is a great issue that goes along way to explain to Superman and the readers exactly what the stakes are. After reading this issue I am even more excited to find out what is going to happen!

Action Comics #1074 is another fantastic issue which sees Superman fall further and further away from victory and whilst Superman is in a rush to leave Krypton, I am very much enjoying him being there.

Action Comics #1077 is another excellent addition to the current story arc which really heightens the stakes for both Superman in The Phantom Zone and the people of Metropolis. I really cannot wait to see where this story goes from here, though I hope it's resolution involves Conner Kent and Kong Keenan.

The stakes are still riding high in Action Comics #1078, it isn't just the consequences of Aethyrs plan that they are dealing with, but also with the consequences of the Kandorian Council. Things just got even more serious for the Superman family and I cannot wait to see where it goes from here, it's going to be interesting!

Adventures Of Superman: Book Of El #6 goes a long way to establish Superman’s legacy and how it has impacted the future. This series continues to excite me, but if I’m honest I do have one gripe – the issues are too short! But with that said, this story is leading somewhere VERY exciting as Otho-Ra has to take Superman’s fine into her own hands.

DC K.O. #4 delivers spectacle, emotional weight and forward momentum. It sets the stage for a finale that feels earned, not rushed. Even if your bracket didn’t survive the chaos (mine certainly didn’t), this chapter proves why DC K.O. has been one of the most entertaining DC events in recent memory.

Justice League Unlimited #1 is an excellent first issue that will have you hooked from the first few pages. This is style of League we have never seen before.. a literal army and if there is a villain that is worthy enough to take all of them on, there's going to be some great action in the issues to come!

Justice League Unlimited #2 is another excellent issue that really progresses this story and shows us how dangerous these Parademons in particular are! I thought I was all Waided out with writer Mark Waid also currently on Action and also Batman/Superman: World's Finest, but this is something special.

Overall Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong as a series was a great ride! My only issue with this final series though is that it felt a little rushed in places and felt as though plot points were forgotten about and thrown back in so they could wrap up the story. But with that said, as a fan of Godzilla and the Justice League, this series was right up my street. If you ever wanted to see Superman uppercut the King Of The Monsters, then look no further!

Superman 78: The Metal Curtain #5 has some pretty great Superman moments, especially towards the end of the issue as Superman heads to Moscow to deal with Metallo, here we see him get a taste of the propaganda that they have shared about him and he sees just how ruthless and undignified Metallo really is.

Superman #15 and the House Of Brainiac story arc was quite a wild ride. It was scary, action packed and an excellent way to breathe life and fear into a brand new villain. I cannot wait to see more consequences and possibilities of this.

What I will say is impressive about this series so far is the way that each of these separate comic series tie in and expand on the entire Absolute Power story arc so far. Whilst you aren't required to read all of the tie ins, I actually want to as they really do elaborate on the reasoning behind our heroes and villains decisions. Though as mentioned previously, my only criticism is the order in which they are released.
