    It's amazing how Waid is perfectly navigating the pace of a weekly comic that flows much more smoothly than it would in a monthly book. Read Full Review

    This arc has gone through nine chapters — in part due to the entertaining Supergirl backup — but it seems like next issue would make an ideal conclusion mark for this strong start for the creative team. Read Full Review

    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! Read Full Review

    Another week, another filler issue. While this issue is still entertaining, the break-neck speed and short comic make this storyline feel like a cash-grab. These filler issues will definitely read better in trade. Read Full Review

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj

    Dec 09, 2024

    Then the one splash page worth being splashy. Fear worries that Rage will come for them. And that means death. Eerie page of the specter of the deadly Rage being out there. There is just too much wrong about this story and specifically about this chapter.  Read Full Review
