Action Comics #1002


      After a solid start to writer Brian Michael Bendis's run on the two Superman titles, this issue of Action Comics offers a moment of decompression.

   It puts the focus on Clark Kent and shows why he's a successful reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper - and it shows several dangerous forces gathering around him.

   It's not a bad issue at all, but it offers precious little for Superman to do.

   But it does manage a surprising twist at the end!

Grade: B

What I'm enjoying most of BMB's run on Superman and Action Comics so far is the inclusion of Clark Kent and the Daily Planet. After the first storylines of the New 52 that went by the wayside. We got a little bit of Clark, but it was mostly Superman. I won't be getting my issue until the end of the month from Discount Comic Book Service, but I don't mind an issue that parks the Man Of Steel on the sidelines and focuses on Clark. It gives us readers a chance to catch our breath after a superhero storyline.
