    The reveal about Kara's new power and the power she no longer has continues to create a sense of uncertainty in the post Absolute Power world, and it's great to see Kara in another space adventure. Read Full Review

    Action Comics #1072 is another great outing for Superman. Waid's love of the character and his history is tantamount to enjoying this story, especially for old readers. Hopefully, new readers will find something to love about Mon-El and the friendship between these two Legionnaires. The Supergirl story is stumbling a bit, but looks great. Overall, Action Comics is still a great read! Read Full Review

    Get Your Comic On - Christopher Mills

    Oct 28, 2024

    Action Comics #1072 puts its foot on the brake as it slows the pace down to spend time providing exposition to explain to readers what's really taking place in the Phantom Zone and revealing who the real threats are in the story. Mariko Tamaki, on the other hand, still leaves us in the unknown about what's really going on with her mission but still manages to keep us hooked on the mystery of her prisoner and the Judge.

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj

    Oct 25, 2024

    Can I also say the last page is odd? It seems like the robot judge 'dies' but there is also a panel where it looks like Supergirl uses her hypnovision on the judge before. I don't know what that means ... We still don't have any solid information on who this is or why Kara is alone here. Any guesses yet on the baddie? Someone big enough to tick off a lot of people.  Maybe it will all come together in the end. Read Full Review
