Action Comics #29 Review –“It’s Time to Bring down the House”


Story

After Superman, Lana and Ghost Soldier helped the creatures escape, the creatures go wild as they are exposed to the sunlight. But now Superman must face Ghost Soldier as this goes on and there’s another threat watching him.

The Good

Superman is really blowing down the house here. I really like how Superman gets mad because he shows people to not mess with him. He really shows how powerful he can get and it’s really cool to see all that. What I also like is that we get to see Superman’s weak side. Ghost Solider really poses a threat and can injure him. It was nice to see Lana willing to do anything to protect Superman and knowing how angry Superman can get due to past experiences. It’s good we get to see how much Superman can care for a species that can’t control themselves and is willing to do anything to stop any threats that get in his way.

Once again, the art team does a phenomenal job here. They really killed with the art. There are beautiful action scenes and beautiful colors dashing in every scene. The face expressions are done so well that you can see all the emotions these characters are having. I really loved the action scenes the most here because you can see all the rage in Superman and how much destruction he causes looking crazy good.

The Bad

There isn’t much of anything bad here besides seeing Baka leave here and I was hoping much more could have done with him and Superman. I was really hoping for him to become Superman’s pet. It was pretty strange to see Superman leave without saying goodbye to Lana. I really hope she doesn’t disappear from the storyline because it does seem that way.

Verdict

I give this issue a 4.5/9.5 out 5/10 stars. Man, Greg Pak is doing such a great job in this series. He really knows how to write Superman really well. It’s great to Superman in all types of emotions like sadness, anger and fear. It’s good to see Superman at his weakest and strongest all in the same issue. It’s also good to see how much Lana knows about Superman better than anyone else. I really grew to like this version of Lana and I like how much she really cares about Superman. The art is done really well here with striking good images with action, emotion and beautiful colors. There really isn’t much bad besides seeing that Lana can disappear from the storyline. But I feel this is a well deserve issue to buy.  People really need to jump in this series because it’s a Superman series worth reading.
