Superman: Action Comics Vol 1: Rise of Metallo

This story was amazing.Philip Kennedy Johnson KNOWS how to write Superman. This story was such a unique take on Superman that I'm in shock as to what I just read.Sure, it took some time to understand because I didn't read the Warworld Saga, and it took some time understanding who each character was, but I got the hangover it in the next book, but this story was still AMAZING.

Just to be clear these are not the full issues only the A and sometimes B stories the C stories are in the TPB "Lois and Clark: Doom Rising". Extremely frustrating when trying to catch up by trade I'm seeing Jon still as a kid not realizing it was the C stories of this series, which has a grown up Jon. Thought I was getting close to when his (spoiler) kidnapping had him return grown (end spoiler) then I realize I'm 2 issues away from when I started collecting action every issue (id say monthly but it was even weekly for 2 months) and I've struggled to find what issues tell the story of Jon's age up Google is not helpful. Story still great though

Good

This is a must read series. I haven't read a comic this good in a really long time. Metallo has always been an interesting character that needs more limelight. Phillip K did an amazing job writhing him. I am beyond impressed with his work. Class A stuff.

It's a good story for Metallo. Johnson does struggle with balancing Superman's family but it does work from time to time. A strong take on Superman's world.

The art is outstanding. The story is outstanding.

Lots of action and drama, but definitely an enjoyable read and worth buying if you love Superman with some good action.

I needed to complete my collection and Amazon had it at a reasonable price.
