   After Superman saves Clark Kent from being thrown off the Geneticron Building, he brings him to one of his "Fortresses of Solitude" for a little chat. Supes uses the globe of revelation on him and determines that everything he's saying is the truth. He also thinks that Clark may be the original Superman brought back to life but his memories of Smallville seem to prove otherwise.

   Meanwhile back in Metropolis, an intruder plants a small bomb at an entryway into Geneticron and the reader is left to assume he gets in. Back at the fortress, Clark tells Superman that the original Superman told him his investigation had put Clark in danger. He told him to hide out while HE assumed both roles of Superman AND Clark until it blew over, but while this was going on, Superman supposedly died. Before taking him back home, Superman asks Clark to write about him to get the public's trust and gives him a special watch in case he ever needs help. Kelex also reveals from accessing Genetircon security footage, the company was holding Doomsday until goons broke in and unleashed him on Metropolis again. 

   Superman and Clark head back and find out the entire Geneticron building is gone and nobody knows where it went. Clark goes back to the Planet and writes a story on why the world should trust this new Superman, who's every bit as good as the original. Superman flies back to the Kent farm and shows Lois and Jon some cool escape pod he's been working on in case they're ever in trouble.

   Finally a mysterious figure stands in front of a ominous, destructive looking ball emblazoned with the House of El logo and says that the path is clear and the only answer is death. And with that we're left with a "To Be Continued".

   I'm new to Action Comics but I can tell you, I seriously enjoyed this story. Like my affection for the Uncanny X-Men, I like old titles and this one is pretty much the oldest still in print. I'm looking forward to seeing where this one is going. 9/10.
