DC Comics Universe and Action Comics #1008 Spoilers and Review follows.

Leviathan Devastatingly Changes The Face Of The World, An Icon’s Death and Superman Is Exposed?!

We open with another cool opening page. This time, not Lois Lane’s desk, but Leviathan’s plan exposed?

Then, after Kobra was destroyed earlier, looks like…

…the DEO, the Department of Extranormal Operations, is next targeted for destruction.

Amanda Waller, head of Taskforce X and the Suicide Squad, and General Sam Lane are on the run because they believe they and their organizations are also being targeted. And, they’re right as there is a gas leak where they are meeting…

…they crawl out of the rubble and…

…Amanda Waller kills Lois Lane’s dad?!

Jimmy Olsen fills Lois Lane and Clark Kent in on what happened to Kobra and what Leviathan is up to.

The book ends with Amanda Waller on Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s doorstep seeking Superman’s help!

The Pulse:

Strong character moments, action and intrigue in this issue. Not a lot of Superman in-costume and that’s ok. Great art too, but a bit dark just like the story. 8 out of 10.
