You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
May 25, 2022Action Comics #1043 adds some more to the story, but other than that, it feels very much like the other chapters of this story so far. The art is phenomenal, and all in all, this issue definitely makes things more interesting than they were before. Read Full Review

Not a lot of good books this week, but this has been a consistent standout. By far the best Superman ongoing since Morrison, no question.

PKJ is the man! Lots to unpack from a fantastically dense issue: The worms generating an inhabitable atmosphere reminds me of the Shai-Hulud from Dune, and its interesting that the genesis has become the lifeblood of the planet while sustaining the worms themselves. I assumed that the genesis metal came from the fallen star + necropolis, but more on that later. The origin of Mother got me thinking about Circe and the revenant queen from Byla's stories. After Mongul smacking around the mysterious scavenger, my theory that they are Circe might go out the window in favor of the link with this Mother character. The Olgrun myth is pretty fascinating: elder gods from the first world, hidden stones of great power, and a test of worthin more

This is a solid issue of Action Comics. PKJ manages to tell an engaging story that I didn't expect. The art change is done well. There's not much to say. The backup is also much better than the last one. I'm fine with backups as long as they serve the story being told, such as here.

The plot is going good and the writing is top notch. The art while great to look at has issues with continuity to the writing. It still at times feels disjointed, especially during fights. The back up was well done. Lots to unpack and look forward too. What once was a slog has turned into a fun read now.

More to the story, more depth myth of mongul and much more developments, everything teases a grand end
