‘Action Comics #1034’ (review)

Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson,
Becky Cloonan, Michael Conrad

Art by Christian Duce, Michael Avon Oeming
Published by DC Comics

 

Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson just might be my favorite writer of Superman ever. He has such a great take on the character that it is unbelievable. The world building that he has done since starting this book has been remarkable. This is another great issue.

Lois Lane is in a lot of trouble.

The Warzoons have made their way to the Fortress of Solitude. They are hellbent on utter destruction. At the Fortress, it is just Lois and the alien girl Thao-La. They are left to their own devices here.

Superman is halfway around the world fighting against Atlantis and their King. That’s right, Atlantis is causing a stir and the United States may have finally had it with them.

They may in fact be declaring war against them!

Superman tries to keep the peace. But he may fail at this. Johnson and artist Christian Duce do a wonderful job of taking this story to the next level. It is awesome what happens here, and we get a big glimpse at what is to come.

The backup story about the Midnighter is pretty strong too. It is written by W. Michael Conrad and Becky Cloonan and drawn by Michael Avon Oeming. There is a big reveal in the story and it leads to the next forthcoming chapter.

All in all, this is a great issue on all fronts!

RATING: A
