Action Comics #1051 Spoilers and Review.
The Superman Family is a team now in the way the Batman Family has been for years.
So many super-heroes for Metropolis which is not as seedy as Gotham City.
The Superman Family gather for some fun and some fun and news.
Lois Lane and Clark Kent, Superman, has adopted two super-powered Phaelosians of Warworld – Otho-Ra and Osul-Ra.
They are the Super Twins not be mistaken for the Wonder Twins.
This new era also sees the Steelworks, a company managed by super-hero secret-identity-less John and Natasha Irons, unveiled to the public.
The Steelworks Tower now dominates the Metropolis skyline overshadowing both the Daily Planet building and the Lexcorp tower.
Dawn of DC is also set to have a Steelworks series launch in June 2023.
The main story begins with the Steelworks Tower under attack.
The kryptonite powered Metallo, is behind the attack, and has Conner Kent Superboy in his grasp to end the core story in the issue.
Metallo is seemingly being manipulated by a jailed Lex Luthor.
The first back-up tale is Lois and Clark 2.
It’s a sequel to the Convergence: Superman two-parter from in 2015 that saw the debut of Jon Kent Superboy and in this story he has a piece of the monster Doomsday that spawned the short-lived threat of Doombreaker who debuted retroactively recently in the pages of The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1.
Well, these are the further adventures of the initial Superman nuclear Family which ends with a new characters Supergirl-like debut.
The second and final back-up story features Power Girl.
It reveals her complicated past, but she’s firmly a member of the Superman Familuy during Dawn of DC.
She wears the Superman shield with pride, on her gear, and she’s paired up with Omen of the Titans.
That should have been an omen, pun intended, for the story to come.
Nightwing asks for their aid to help snap Beast Boy back to reality.
Power Girl helps do that, but his mind is a mess.
The Pulse.
The main story was intriguing, but has to do a lot of Dawn of DC set-up to do for the Superman Family. Still, it had the right balance of action and emotion rendered beautifully.
The first back-up offers something to the fans who miss the pre-teen son of Superman even before his Super Sons pairing with Batman’s son. It is from be from the same top notch creative team that worked on Convergence: Superman duology and the initial sequel mini-series Superman: Lois and Clark from 2015-16.
The second back-up spotlights the odd pairing of Power Girl and Omen. Its nice to see Power Girl a proud member of the Superman Family, but the story fely out of place in this issue, but the art was VERY strong.
An entertaining issue, but next issue should be where it kicks into high gear as all the necessary storyline set-up, on all three stories, has been done. 7.5 out of 10.
