Seems like most Superman fans liked this issue -- great art, fun stories. Why did you hate it? It's a 3-part mostly out-of-continuity throwback story by a guest writer, so don't expect it to relate to Josh Williamson's series.

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Jul 10, 2024The wonky timeline aside, this is a brilliant story that perfectly captures how Superman fights and what he fights for. Its big, occasionally funny and goofy, but with a great heroic core and high stakes. Read Full Review

The Aspiring Kryptonian - David Beasley
Jul 10, 2024For a first chapter story, you couldn't ask for much better. Instant set up and execution, cliffhanger twist ending, superb art, and a great jumping on point for new and/or returning readers. This easily has the makings of being something special as it's already a lot of fun. Read Full Review

Jul 10, 2024Taking the Man Of Tomorrow back in time proves to be a winning play for Superman fans. Simone brings out the best of Clark Kent with fantastic storytelling. Barrows, Miki, Lokus and Sharpe elevate the high stakes to new levels with epic imagery. This story doesnt miss bringing back the superhero themes we all know and love. Dont miss it. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Jul 10, 2024The main story calls back to an earlier time for Superman and Lois, while the backup pushes the relationship of an editor and its writer to new lengths in the roles of Clark and Lois. Combined, Action Comics #1067 has the stakes and the heart that make Superman comics great. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Brett
Jul 10, 2024Action Comics #1067 is a fun comic. You don't need to be familiar with all that's going on with Superman and can just dive in and enjoy it. Both stories, while wildly different, have a lot that stands out for each and both entertain in different ways. It's a nice arc for each so far with two voices that bring something different and fun to the classic characters. Read Full Review

DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd
Jul 10, 2024Lacking context, Simone's story is a little unsettling. One one hand, it's great to have Bronze Age/ throwback tale with influences from different iterations of Superman, but perhaps more will be explained. As a throwback tale it's a ton of fun and very enjoyable. Rowell's story takes a more serious approach that is a nice contrast to the fun in the main story. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Christian Laspada
Jul 10, 2024This new arc feels like filler and is a letdown coming off of the House of Brainiac event. Detached writing mixed with gritty artwork makes this a three-part arc Im fine with skipping. Read Full Review

The first story was similar to Superman vs. Muhammad Ali, and it was great. The second story -- Lois made a perfectly logical decision. I enjoyed both, it felt very Bronze Age, like World's Finest.

pretty interesting start, although Lois is starting to act weird in the back up story

The main story is a charming little love letter to the Bronze Age Superman comics Simone grew up reading, let down a bit by Barrows's art which doesn't sell big moments like Superman eating the raygun and gives everybody a psychotic grin. The backup is Rowell doing the intimate character work she does best, approaching the interesting collision between Lois's commitment to journalistic ethics and the fact that she knows her husband is a walking conflict of interest. This isn't anything essential, but it's a nicely balanced package offering something for everyone - if you want action, the main story has it for you; if like me you're more interested character drama, the backup delivers.

Fun kickoff to a new storyline, plus a promising backup story too!

I have mixed feelings on this book. On one hand, some of the stuff I dont like about it is honestly just bronze age stuff that, for its inspiration is well done. Clark is rather feckless in his early days hiding who he was. That was in character, but it is hard for my to enjoy compared to how great the Superman parts were. The actual fights and the characterization of superman was great. I really enjoyed it and nice to see the Bronze Age Superman fighting for what is right. Simone is clearly pulling from the era and I can respect that. As for the art... something is off. The art isnt bad but it just feels wrong. Barrows isnt a bad artist and this doesnt seem phone in but at the same time, I dont like parts of it, it just feels off, more

Solid book for what it was, but what it was wasn't something I enjoy. I had been picking up Superman books for the Braniac story, mostly because of the inclusion of Lobo and the Czarnians, but it looks like I'll be dropping them back off my pull list now.

Disappointing read that felt very generic.

A 10 for Simone and Barrow's main, a 0 for the disgusting feminist bonus story. I enjoyed this, Simone's writing and Barrow's artwork is a great combination that makes this ish feel like an older comic. I like how the setting seems to be set in the 70s roughly with the clothing styles, hair styles etc. The story is nothing special but the simplicity of this is refreshing after reading the latest lackluster DBZ-esque Superman comics. The bonus story is garbage, Lois being editor in chief ends up treating Clark like shit. Giving an intern a scoop before him and calling him a conflict of interest just for being himself pretty much. Honestly if anyone should have become an editor should be Clark it makes more sense. He would be less b more
