Mild Mannered Reviews – Action Comics #958

One of the things I like about Dan Jurgens as a creator is that he puts a lot of thought into the situations he puts his characters in. It would be really easy to just throw Doomsday and Superman at each other but we got more than that. We see Lex trying to step up and play the hero and getting smacked down for his efforts. We see Superman using his head against Doomsday and putting his past experiences to good use. A good friend of mine constantly jokes that Superman should solve all of his problems by throwing whatever that problem is into the sun so I have to admit to chuckling when Superman thinks of doing exactly that with Doomsday. I don’t know if Superman flying Doomsday into space in this book was inspired by a similar scene in BATMAN V SUPERMAN but I liked it just the same.
