A review by charitytinnin
Action Comics #1000: The Deluxe Edition by Olivier Coipel, Brian Michael Bendis, Scott Snyder, Tom King, Geoff Johns
4.0
Overall, this is a solid tribute/celebration issue. I personally thought Jurgens' story was the best. I love his Clark AND his Lois, and I'm already missing him on Action.
The issue loses points because of Dini's story (for the needless pin-up objectification) and Bendis' teaser. I hope Bendis proves me wrong, but the idea of another bulky alien showing up to kill Kryptonians in the middle of Metropolis who also complicates Kal's origin made me roll my eyes. And why did we need to spend so much time discussing the return of the shorts/undies but not EXPLAINING their return? And why are they back?! Sigh.
