Action Comics #986

“Only Human” tells a nice interlude chapter of the ongoing Action Comics saga that seems to be reaching another point of critical mass sooner rather later. Read Full Review

Action packed and great looking art makes this a fun fight comic with a surprise guest appearance at the end. Read Full Review

Superman courageously defeats his foes while Lex Luther has an encounter with Oz that reveals his intentions for all humanity! Read Full Review

There are a lot of theories floating around out there over the real identity of Mr. Oz. I haven't been taking part in them, mainly because, so many of them would be so disappointing if they turn out to be true. Williams drops another clue in this issue as he makes it clear that Mr. Oz is smarter than Luthor and there are so few characters who fit that bill. It looks like all the wild speculation will end next month when it looks like Mr. Oz will reveal himself. Read Full Review

Anyways, this issue told a philosophical story about humanity and civility with a few action beats mixed in. In that way, it should be a solid prelude to the Mr. Oz epic which is about to unfold. Read Full Review

This issue wraps up a short but enjoyable tale of classic rivalries married with suspense and a larger mystery that has been encompassing the DCU since its Rebirth. It is friendly to new readers but I would strongly suggest anyone reading this just pick issue 985 before this one as it does add something to the tale. The book is well-paced and if it was intended to be filler it is definitely one of the most enjoyable fillers in recent memory. Read Full Review

GuillemMarchs artwork reminds me of that of Mark Badger back in the 1980s.Thankfully, more detailed, but that could be a result of current technology. Read Full Review

Two weeks away from the reveal, there is still very little we know about Mr. Oz and who he might be. My personal theory is The Superman from Dan Jurgens Tangent Comics. But thats just a long shot because Im seriously stumped. Read Full Review

This is a solid issue, but suffers just slightly from being more or less a fill in between story arcs. The finale certainly whets the appetite for the upcoming reveal of the Mr. Oz story line in subsequent issues. The strongest aspect continues to be Superman's challenging relationship with Lex Luthor. Read Full Review

What appeared a filler story, may result in a turning point moment for Superman and Mr. Oz. Read Full Review

As a fill-in issue, this was simply "okay." Read Full Review

While this issue isn't bad this is just filler with a $3 price tag. I'm not even sure what to put since there was no substance to this book. If you want classic Lex taking on all of the humainty's struggles pick up this book. Read Full Review

Concepts are thrown out at us in this issue that seem to come out of nowhere and make little sense to me and if that wasn't enough to raise your blood pressure, it all seemed to be filler to get us to our conclusion so that we're all ready for Mr. Oz' big reveal in the next arc.  I wish I could say that the art was strong here to try and make this sound better, but that too was pretty weak and I walked away from this issue and and this two issue arc wishing that I didn't read it.  Read Full Review

The only reason regular readers might want to grab this is the final few pages, which has Mr. Oz confronting Luthor. It's a fun appetizer for the big reveal and Mr. Oz-focused storyline starting next issue. Otherwise this is another lackluster chapter for Action Comics and readers can safely skip. Read Full Review

Other than the moment between Lex & Superman + The ending. The rest is filler, this feel like the calm before the storm

Same as with the previous issue, this was more of a filler. If it wasn't for that ending, the score would be definitely lower. However, the few final pages left me excited about what's coming next and I am certain that it will not disappoint.

Really don't like the art. And This time I didn't like the story. I find dumb that Luthor has to use New Gods power while that can turn him Darkseid. I like the end with Mr Oz, with some clue & many many question.
