Action Comics #845 - DC


I didn't know if I could believe the hype or not. I mean, what could Richard Donner bring to this book the Geoff Johns couldn't already bring? Well . . . . I'm not exactly sure what each's participation is, but the end product . . . . . . is superb! Add to that, Adam Kubert on art, and we truly have a dream team here. Believe the hype!!! Last issue a little boy crash landed in Metropolis. He appeared to be from Krypton. Superman played the politician and let the govt. have a look at him. But, then he was betrayed and the govt. try to move him to an undisclosed place, without telling Superman. Well . . . you can guess how that went over. So. . . .Superman abducted him back. Now he's trying to talk either his parents, or Lois, into helping him raise him. Well, Luthor wants in on this action too, so, apparently he's had Bizarro in captivity for a while brainwashing him, and has now sicked him on Superman. Luthor calls him "Rudy". Don't know what that's all about. Anyways, Superman defeats Bizarro, but it makes Lois realize that he really does need someone to protect him. She's even picked out a name, Christopher. But on the last page, we find out that Zod and his minions have escaped from the zone. And apparently Chris, is his son. This could get complicated. Like I said, great story, nice twists, and fantastic art. Definitely worth your 299 pennies.
