A review by apageinthestacks
Action Comics #957 by Patrick Zircher, Dan Jurgens
4.0
3.5/5
The biggest problem with this book is how similar it seemed to be to the main Superman title. Batman and Detective Comics distinguished themselves perfectly from each other, whereas this one didn't, as they both just deal with the old/new Superman dealing with the death of the N52 Superman. Which makes sense, as obviously that's an important character plot, but I still wanted more of a clear-cut distinction.
That said, it was a really, really fun read as it was mostly action, and I really enjoyed it. For the same reason, however, I don't think that I need to read it twice monthly, but I do really, really look forward to reading it in trades for longer doses of some glorious action.
