![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Action Comics #869 Superman is faced with impossible odds. He overcomes them only to be knocked down again while his loved ones are caught in the balance as part of the back drop to his struggle. This issue provides some excellent action, a good plot movement and some nice back story about some newer characters. The artwork is great as you’d expect. This issue is nearly perfect. ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Weekly Rankings For 09/17/08 Here are this week’s comics ranked prior to reading them: 4.

Secret Invasion: X-Men #1 of 4 Here are the rankings after the first read through with a mini-review: ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Action Comics #867 I loved the last issue so much I assumed this would be one of the classic Superman arcs. I was wrong. This second installment fails in several places. However, in the areas it does deliver, it nails them. Unfortunately, this makes for a very so-so issue. I am not ready to give up by any means, but this issue was a letdown compared to the stellar story from last issue.
