Some thoughts about Action Comics #1016

Can Naomi help Superman?

The Red Cloud is unleashing her power against Clark and there might not be a chance to win, and this is only the beginning.

The answer to the question is no, she can't.

And it makes you wonder why did Brian Bendis decide to bring Naomi into this book if she wasn't going to do anything at all? I mean, I know the answer since he needed to progress her story somehow until her next miniseries arrives but at the same time, I wish he would progressed it there instead of here due that she contributes nothing to the main plot and her inclusion felt forced.

Speaking of the plot, it still suffers from the lack of progression because of the whole "We can't advance much because Event Leviathan is still going" and thus is mostly a rather dull fight whose only unique aspect is that the people of Metropolis are detailing it and it's only "unique" in that sense because is a rather good example of "Tell, don't show" mentality and makes it even worse. The only positive aspect here is that there was the appearance of I believe Ma Hunkel, the original Red Tornado, which was nice.

Szymon Kudranski's artwork at least makes everything look spectacular with a pretty vibrant style and clear storytelling.

Aside from that, this is skippable. Just end already.
