Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your capes, because Action Comics #1060 takes us on a wild, mystical ride with the unlikely duo of Superman and John Constantine! Crafted by the masterful hands of Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Eddy Barrows, Fico Ossio, Eber Ferreira, Joe Prado, Jonas Trindade, Matt Herms, Christopher Sotomayor, Dave Sharpe, and Steve Beach, this issue promises magic, mystery, and a dash of hellish mayhem.
The narrative unfolds with Superman turning to the infamous John Constantine for assistance in locating his kidnapped daughter. Meanwhile, Otho-Ra, the cosmic being, finds herself entangled in a vengeful plot orchestrated by Sister Shadow, hailing from a dimension where she's the progeny of Bruce Wayne and Talia Al-Ghul. Revenge, portals through hell, and sinister green concoctions ensue as the cosmic drama escalates.
As Superman and Constantine delve into the secrets of Blue Earth's hideout, readers are treated to a blend of magical advice, warnings, and a sneak peek into the twisted corridors of mystical realms. The introduction of Etrigan and Bloodwynd adds an unexpected but exciting dimension to the unfolding tale, setting the stage for an epic showdown on Planet Al-Ghul.
The art, featuring a collaboration between Eddy Barrows, Fico Ossio, and the artistic team, paints a vivid and otherworldly landscape. Superman's venture into the magical realms is visually captivating, enhancing the overall narrative.
However, the anticipation for the story's conclusion is tinged with a touch of sorrow as Phillip Kennedy Johnson passes the torch to Jason Aaron in the next issue. Despite this transition, the main story in Action Comics #1060 stands strong, earning a commendable 8.25/10.
