Description

Action Comics #1051 welcomes readers to Metropolis and immediately dives to the street level to show the disparity between the streets and the glossy skyscrapers. Tensions run amok in "Speeding Bullets, Part I" as writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson keeps the focus on one event, making it the converging point for the other narratives. He balances the overtly hostile environment with lighthearted moments of family and camaraderie. Letterer Dave Sharpe gives Lois Lane's narration a personality of its own, like an opinion piece written on a typewriter. Rafa Sandoval and Matt Herms' combined artistry is the showstopper of the issue. Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, and the others look larger than life in their updated designs. Following the bombshell events of� Action Comics�#1050, the world�s relationship with Superman is forever changed, the upper limits of his supercharged powers have yet to be reached, and the House of El�s transformation of Metropolis, led by Steel, has begun. But Lex Luthor has found the perfect instrument with which to undo everything�Superman is working to achieve: Metallo, whose hatred of Superman is matched only by his hatred for Luthor himself. So we've always kind of accustomed to seeing Metallo as essentially a Terminator. And now, starting with Action #1051 going forward, he's a Cronenberg movie monster. You're going to see that transformation start very soon.

That last one has been slowly building for months now, bringing Corben from an angry robot body in a prison cell to a seemingly human kryptonite container, and doing so while infusing him with the kind of sympathetic pathos that makes for a complex and interesting villain. I can’t say I’ve ever had a great passion for Metallo but as it stands I’m genuinely interested in what happens to him – if there’s one thing I can say about this most recent run on Action Comics, it’s that Johnson has done a great job of taking villains I didn’t care about at all and making me respect them as forces (Mongul) or feel for them as people (Metallo). This isn’t an excuse for Metallo’s actions or his prejudices, but villain or not, I prefer a complicated character over a simpler one any day.And the final story in Action Comics features Power Girl’s return in part one of a three-part story by Leah Williams and Marguerite Sauvage spinning out of Lazarus Planet. Action Comics #1051 will be available at local comic shops on January 24, 2023.
