    Bogdanove's art could often be divisive in the 90s, but it looks great here. Read Full Review

    This was an enjoyable milestone issue of Action Comics. Superman fans who haven't given this creative team a try should strongly reconsider. It's got a great mix of character, action and creative story beats to fully justify giving it a chance. Read Full Review

    Action Comics #1075 showcases the variety the Superman family has to offer, ranging from sci-fi epics to personal history. It also makes some big changes, but then again this is the Superman comic, so I'm glad creators are still swinging for the fences. Read Full Review

    The Aspiring Kryptonian - David Beasley

    Nov 13, 2024

    For a milestone issue, Action Comics #1075 doesn't have much fanfare. Just another chapter in the ongoing story, which isn't necessarily bad but is a bit disappointing. Clark's aside to Krypton's past gets a substantial connection to what's happening with The Phantom Zone, but Conner and Kenan's tale (albeit fun to read) feels more and more disjointed from the main story with each installment. Supergirl's story is also starting to feel too drawn out but still has the potential to pick up more traction. Still, I'm very excited to see where things are going and can't wait for next week's issue. Read Full Review

    Shame we are wasting Patridge's art. This artistic theme of splash pages with circular centers (suns, eyes, staff heads, eyeglasses) bookends every chapter but it doesn't add much. Read Full Review

    I like the main story and the Election Day story. They were solid.

    I must be stupid because I was left scratching my head at the end of this ish. Yeah the Keenan segment is retarded and unnecessary. Aethyr is pretty cool, I was enjoying the Krypton sequence the most and loved the part where Jor El and Lara talked shit to Rozan. I liked seeing Supergirl show up as a kid acting bratty and Clark laughing about it to himself. But I got ripped from any immersion when the comic went from that to showing Lois and Jimmy in the Daily Planet office talking about "climate change reversing". Lois dramatically looks out and the comic showed the sun being sucked up or something I have no idea how we jumped from Krypton to that it makes no sense at all what is going on?

    Action Comics #1075 is an alarming example of narrative disarray, a collection of tales that stumbles over its own ambitions and ultimately collapses under the weight of its shortcomings. The issue suffers from a glaring tonal and thematic inconsistency, largely due to the contributions of Mark Waid and Mariko Tamaki, whose stories are, at best, indulgent distractions, and at worst, exercises in narrative irresponsibility. And then there's Mariko Tamaki. What can be said about her portion of this issue except that it is wholly unnecessary? Her story reeks of misplaced priorities, focusing on tangential subplots that neither enrich the Superman mythos nor engage the reader. It's storytelling as filler-an afterthought masquerading as subst more
