Superman Action Comics 1: Rise of Metallo

This is a must read series. I haven't read a comic this good in a really long time. Metallo has always been an interesting character that needs more limelight. Phillip K did an amazing job writhing him. I am beyond impressed with his work. Class A stuff.

Lots of action and drama, but definitely an enjoyable read and worth buying if you love Superman with some good action.

The art is outstanding. The story is outstanding.

I needed to complete my collection and Amazon had it at a reasonable price.

It's a good story for Metallo. Johnson does struggle with balancing Superman's family but it does work from time to time. A strong take on Superman's world.

This could not have been more enjoyable!!The building up of the connections and characters of the Super Family here is a wish come true to anyone who loves any member of this amazing family!This direction is super well handled and consistently more and more fleshed out as it goes.Personally I feel like I don't ever want this to end, it has taken forever for us to get anything like this and PKJ and Sandoval do it with such a wonder each issue!Also the body horror monstrosity of villains in here is so fun and wild!As a Superman fan who has read soooo much of his multitudes of books, this is now one of my all time favorites!

Even as a new reader its a great starting point. All you have to know is that the 2 random kids were from the warwold saga.

It was great to see the whole Super-Family together. Good artwork, very good story, and lots of action.Metropolis is truly becoming the city of Tomorrow protected by the whole Super-family, but not everyone is happy there is the Blue Earth movement who have taken exception to Superman offering Earth as a sanctuary to displaced aliens. Matallo, who had been charged with the death of the Supers at the cost of his own remaining family if he fails. Also, who is the mystery person pulling Metalli's strings.The only complaint I have about the book is that everything seems to happen at super-speed. I guess you can't avoid that with the supers. The family dynamic between the characters is great. I have said a number of times that Wonder Woman is referred to as the heart of the DC universe, but I really believe that Superman is the heart he proves that again here. The book finishes eith a sketchbook and characters designs.
