Action Comics Special #1 - 2018 is a bold, emotionally resonant one-shot that serves as both an epilogue and a tribute — closing the chapter on Dan Jurgens’ acclaimed run while offering a deeply satisfying send-off for Superman before the mantle was passed to a new creative team. Packed with heart, heroism, and a confrontation that brings moral clarity into sharp focus, this issue reminds readers exactly why Superman remains the gold standard of superheroes.

The lead story, “The Last Will and Testament of Lex Luthor,” written by Dan Jurgens with art by Will Conrad, is a tense and layered narrative that explores Lex’s twisted logic, his obsession with Superman, and his increasingly blurred line between villainy and supposed redemption. It’s a cerebral clash as much as a physical one — perfectly in keeping with Jurgens' approach throughout the Rebirth era. The emotional payoff lands with weight, tying up thematic threads that have been building across numerous issues.

Backing up the main feature are two additional stories: “Suprema Est Lex” by Mark Russell and Jill Thompson, which offers a sharp, philosophical take on Superman's unwavering sense of justice, and “Driver’s Seat” by Max Landis and Francis Manapul, which delivers a more character-focused, stylised perspective. Each tale adds something distinctive, presenting Superman not just as a symbol, but as a man navigating a complicated world with hope and integrity.

The visuals are consistently strong across all three stories, with a clean, emotive line style and vibrant colouring that enhance the tone of each segment. Whether portraying explosive confrontations or quiet moments of reflection, the artwork elevates the stories and gives the issue a polished, cohesive feel.

Action Comics Special #1 (2018) is a must-have for fans of Superman’s modern era — both as a closing statement and a celebration of what makes the character endure. It’s perfect for readers who value stories that are rich in character, layered in message, and elegantly told.
