Superman: Action Comics (2016-) Vol. 1: Warworld Rising

Superman is weakening, and STILL wants to invade a Planet of Slavers. Great story. First of 3 chapters.

Another great Superman graphic novel. Read it in one sitting, could not put it down. Love the artwork, and the storyline.

PKJ realiza un guión que va escalando su desarrollo preparando el ambiente a una nueva saga espacial para Superman enfrentando a un enemigo clásico y letal.

Warworld Rising provides some intriguing steps for Superman, including dealing with humanity/weakness, and encountering new threats. With the long history of the character, it’s good to see that there is still steam in the storyline. Those unfamiliar with recent DC events might want to go back to some back issues, but the narrative still works well (and the art is action-packed and compelling).

Phillip Kennedy Johnson really seems to get Superman and his family. Their views are point on. Superman will always do what's right, no matter the cost, even when he knows it's a trap. The story is all prologue. Warworld leaves a ship behind hat contains three ancient maybe Kryptonians behind. They have been in thrall to Mongul for generations. Superman knows it's all a trap but if there could be more proto-Kryptonians there, he'll go no matter what to free all of Warworld. Sampere's art is great. So is Duce's fill in issue. Yo can also read Superman and the Authority if you feel you need more backstory about what's happening.

If you enjoy the big action stories, this one won't disappoint. Jon is moving into an adult-type of Superman role, and something is going on with Superman himself, and there are indications that his part to play in keeping everyone safe is soon to come to an end. Throw in a mysterious power source, Atlanteans and the US Government about to go to war, and you have a non-stop thrill ride ahead of you. I do have to say I miss the small humor in these comics, though. There really is no light-hearted part in any of it, though there is love and angst and a lot of other emotions included. However, this is a highly recommended read that I am certain many will find entertaining.

This is an OK Superman story. Starts intriguingly, with possible new kryptonians found, then there is some in-fighting between heroes, which gets old fast, and also a new conflict between US and Atlantis (which was handled way better a couple years back by Dan Abnett in Aquaman). Also, turns out it's just a prologue to a new Warworld Saga.I am intrigued for the continuation of the story, but some plotting and dialogue were too clunky for my taste.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to Netgalley and DC Entertainment!This volume is action-packed and engaging. It was so compelling, I ended up reading the entire thing (152 pages) in one sittin!g. While the storyline is solid, I would not recommend this as your place to start if you have not read any other Superman comics. There is a lot of content packed into this graphic novel and it could be confusing if you don’t have prior knowledge.The illustrations are excellent and everything fits well with the dialog.Looking forward to reading the next installment.

Superman Rebirth era fue EXCELENTE, historias entretenidas en el lore del universo de Superman y su entorno. La era de Bendis comenzó bien pero termino aburrida y confusa. Este libro retoma el sentido y camino a una historia directa, entretenida, con misterio y arte detallado y de calidad. Muy recomendado. Lo puedes leer olvidando todo lo de Bendis. Vale mucho la pena.

Nice start of an epic saga

Johnson brings the gravitas and superheroics that Superman deserves.If you're a Superman fan, or a fan of superheroes generally, this is the book for you.This is what Superman is. Johnson's characterisation is in conversation with the classic versions of the Man of Steel, and it works.There's hype about this book, but in my opinion, it deserves it. Story, dialogue, characterisation, art, everything is on point here.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that the current run is one of my all time Superman favourite. This arc is basically the beginning to said run and it is incredible, both in writing and artwork. One of the best comic books around these days.

This volume continues a brilliant run on Action Comics from Phillip Kennedy Johnson that began in Superman: The One Who Fell with the stunning art of Daniel Sampere It really kicks off the Warworld Saga in a spectacular way and should be a must buy for DC and Superman fans!
