He was the world’s greatest hero. Then the world he knew was wiped from existence.

Escaping with his wife and son, Superman fled to a strange new version of Earth. There he worked in the shadows and watched as a different Superman-younger, less experienced, but every bit as heroic-defended his planet.

That young hero died, and now the original Man of Steel is ready to step forward and replace him.

But he’s not ready for what comes next.

Seizing the opportunity of a lifetime, Lex Luthor has donned a battle suit of incredible power and declared himself to be the new Superman. What’s more, someone else claiming to be Clark Kent has also appeared in Metropolis. And then, into the middle of this chaos, lands the greatest foe Superman has ever faced: Doomsday.

To save Metropolis and his family from this monstrous menace, Superman must join forces with Luthor, Wonder Woman and any other ally or enemy he can-because he knows from bitter experience where the path of Doom inevitably leads.

Collecting issues #957-962 of the world’s greatest comic, SUPERMAN: ACTION COMICS VOL. 1: PATH OF DOOM unites legendary Superman writer Dan Jurgens with artists Patch Zircher, Tyler Kirkham, Stephen Segovia and Art Thibert to kick off an all-new era for the Man of Tomorrow!

4.0 out of 5 stars Action Packed First Volume that Reminisces on "Death of Superman" Arc with Doomsday and Gives New Direction to Lex Luthor
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2017
Verified Purchase
Action Comics starts off with a bang, while also sowing the seeds for numerous future mysteries. Taking place chronologically before the Superman solo series (which released its first Rebirth trade a few weeks back), Action Comics sees the pre-New 52 Superman (along with his wife Lois and their super-powered son Jon) reacting to the news of the New 52-era Superman's death. The family is shocked to see the announcement that Lex Luthor (sporting the new super armor he first donned at the end of Darkseid War) has declared himself the new Superman. Unwilling to let Lex taint Superman's legacy, Clark dons the cape and comes out of hiding. His confrontation with Lex is cut short however by the seeming return of the pre-New 52 Doomsday (the menace that once killed Clark). While Lex and Superman attempt to stop the monster, another wrinkle is thrown into the mystery by the appearance of reporter Clark Kent. This new Kent claims to not be the Superman who died, so who he is and where he comes from is up in the air. All the while the new Mr. Oz is keeping an eye on the proceedings. Overall a fun and action packed start to the series that resurrects the classic "Death of Superman" drama with Clark and Lois worried that history will repeat itself. Great artwork and an intriguing new direction for Luthor make this is a solid title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well as a collected trade
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2017

Action Comics is really living up to the first part of its title. Most of the book has emphasis on the action. Makes sense.

Now, the beginning of the book does set up some interesting plot threads regarding the likes of Lex Luthor and Clark Kent. While these threads do follow throughout most of the book, it quickly switches to an extended fight against the pre-New 52 Doomsday that lasts the rest of the book. In individual comics, this was probably a tad unwieldy to read, but reading it here it clearly shows that it was meant to be read as one whole piece. The fight is certainly destructive, but it's also fairly smart and always stays interesting, showing just how much of a threat Doomsday is without feeling as cheap as he did in his original Death of Superman appearance. Lois and the new Superboy also appear, unsurprisingly, but I feel like the balance they have in this book worked a little better than the Superman title, as Superboy especially felt a little overemphasized in that book. Here, he feels significant without taking over the story.

I am definitely excited to follow up on what has been established here.

This new run of Superman is consistently amazing! Bringing back the old, optimistic and heroic superman is great, but then giving him a son? And focusing on how superman and lois want to raise that son? The writing is leaps and bounds above anything that has come out of the monthly comics in years. This story is interesting, but the killer story is over in Superman hence 4 stars. Still, this is really good stuff, which is rare from the non stand alone continuity.

No había leido una verdadera historia de Sups nunca... no una que fuera parte del canon y lo poco que había leido (new 52) había sido en su mayor parte decepcionante. Gracias al cielo que ahora tenemos a un buen superman, algo que hacía falta.

Ein hervorragendes Buch! Die Geschichte ist zwar überwältigend actiongeladen, aber die interessante Dynamik der Charactere bleibt nie auf der Strecke!
Besonders die Komversationen zwischen Superman und Lex Luthor, sowie die Beziehung zu seiner Familie ist wundervoll inszeniert und macht jede Geschichte mit Superman die zur Zeit erscheint zu einem Erlebnis.
Das Artwork ist vor allem während der Kämpfe mit Doomsday außergewöhnlich gut!
Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen!
