DC Comics and Action Comics #1030 Spoilers and Review follows.
Superman Declining, Super Sons Reunite As Mysteries Abound?!
Plus Midnighter!
This series continues to tease a confrontation between Mongul the space despot and Superman.
A stranger confronts Mongul sharing the heads of his sons who this person beheaded to ensure that Mongul’s throne is not threatened.
Turns out this stranger also knows the secrets of Warworld which seems to involve…
…Superman?
On Earth, Superman is having his power levels tested; apparently is powers seem to have waned due to radiation poisoning from the alien encounter last issue.
Elsewhere, the Super Sons reunite as…
…they are a team no longer, but friends…
…who stand on their own feet in…
…their own series with Robin #1 out this week (full spoilers here) and…
…Superboy’s series launching in July 2021 called Superman: Son of Kal-El.
It is interesting that Supergirl’s mini-series, debuting in June 2021, is titled Supergirl not Superwoman despite her being older than Jon Kent.
Anyhow, this issue of Action Comics issue ends with a space armada arriving or attacking Earth with aliens…
…who speak an ancient Kryptonian language?!
There is also a back-up featuring Midnighter of WildStorm infamy.
The Pulse:
Lots of intrigue in both stories. The art styles from one to the other are so different the transition is jarring. The main story was more entertaining read. 6 out of 10.
