Just absolute madness and insanity, makes me wonder if this is just how Lobo sees the world actually and its really not that crazy.

There was a lot to take in here wow!

This was great, no complaints here!

Action Comics 1100 is a mixed bag, and a very frustrating one, because I enjoyed parts of this book a lot. However, it also has some really gruesome art and writing, which made it hard to even get to the good stuff.

The first story, "Mission Failure", unfortunately takes up the most pages. While Waid's writing is good as usual, Skylar Partridge's art is not. Sorry, there's no way to say this in a politer way. It just sucks. Fortunately, Ryan Sook, who also drew the amazing wraparound cover, steps in for the last third, which is a relief, but doesn't save the story.

"Superman meets Superboy" is the high point of the book, perfectly written by Joshua Williamson and masterfully illustrated by Daniel Sampere. I wish this team had created the main story, too.

"Game Night" by Sophie Campbell and Dan Mora is mostly forgettable, but solid. Probably more fun if you enjoy all the alternate Superman characters

The last chapter, "End of Reign" by Dan Slott and Lukas Meyer, is the start of something new apparently - and it's completely confusing to anyone not familiar with these characters, such as myself. Well, at least the art looks good.

All in all, it seems most anniversary issues these days are like a big bag of candy. At first you're excited about the sheer quantity you get, but after you ate it all, you realise that you really just wanted the liquorice, not the gummy bears and certainly not all the other shit that now makes your tummy feel weird.more

The way Prime defeats Manchester Black was hilarious, they kind of ended this short for Zod event but Im hoping Prime's tease at the end of this comic means we will get a solo series of him next year, that #1 that he wants I want to.

Really fun issue at times . I love prime. I love the art. The writing…it’s off because it’s just so meta. It gets nuts. And wtf are we rushing this storyline ? I love me some prime time. But we go at lighting speed to a conclusion to move on to the Zod plot. It’s really it’s a huge miss. We could have had a huge storyline full of prime and more witch fire Lost opportunity by Williamson. Prim es personality is so damn funny. I’m disappointed we just seem to not be getting more.

I still think the concept of Superboy Prime is silly, but what Williamson and Mora are doing with it is pure comic book magic and full of love for the medium.

This was just more of what I wanted, and Prime literally runs away before Tom King can write his comic so that in itself deserves a 10 for dunking on King.

This comic is legendary...

I read this book mostly because of the art, since I’m not a great Superman fan. I don’t even know who Superboy-Prime is.

Dan Mora is one of those extraordinary artists who can just switch between different styles and be great at all of them. Actually, looking through the pages of this book, I think his Manga-inspired default style - which shines through in all the other styles, and wh ich is probably the reason I don’t follow him regularly - isn’t even his best. I was most enamored with his romance comic pages with their more traditional drawing style and organic linework. Also, the Flash-Gordon-esque panel really intrigued me. I miss this capability for drawing anatomically correct in modern comics.

Ultimately, I still have no idea what this was really about in continuity, but do I care? No. Will I pick up the next issue of Superman, who apparently isn’t even in his own book? Unlikely. Can I appreciate a book that bursts with creativity, that is a wonderful artistic experiment and a love letter to the whole genre? Yes, absolutely.more

Williamson and Mora continue to deliver a Fun and ridiculous book each month. This is why I read comics. I don’t want be preached too. I want fun and heroism. This book delivers it all. I hope when Clark does return we continue this story in a solo series with the same team. I’d buy that also. Bravo to these amazing talents who appear to be having a blast making this title. 10/10. This book is that good. more
