Action Comics #967 - Vol. 1 - 2017 is a gripping instalment in the Rebirth era that propels Superman into a tense and morally complex confrontation with cosmic implications. Written by Dan Jurgens, a cornerstone figure in Superman’s legacy, this issue kicks off the two-part arc “Men of Steel” and pits Superman against a group of alien enforcers who challenge everything he believes about justice, mercy, and authority.

The story introduces the Godslayer, a mysterious intergalactic figure who arrives on Earth with a clear mission — to eliminate Lex Luthor, believing him to be destined for universal tyranny. The twist? At this point in the Rebirth timeline, Luthor has taken up the S-shield and positioned himself as a new kind of Superman — an uneasy ally, and a symbol of redemption. Superman is caught in the middle, forced to decide whether to protect a man he doesn't trust or allow a powerful foreign force to execute a pre-emptive sentence based on possible futures.

Jurgens’ writing is tight and purposeful, balancing action with sharp ethical tension. He continues to explore Superman’s role as a moral compass, one who must weigh not just what is right, but who gets to decide what “justice” means. The dialogue between Clark and Luthor is particularly compelling — tense, layered, and reflective of their long and complicated history.

The artwork by Clay Mann and Art Thibert is slick and cinematic. Mann’s character designs are powerful and expressive, while the action scenes are dynamic without losing clarity. The sci-fi aesthetic of the Godslayer’s technology contrasts beautifully with the grounded tone of Metropolis, giving the issue visual variety and depth. The colouring is polished and dramatic, helping to underline the seriousness of the conflict.

Action Comics #967 is a fantastic jumping-in point or continuation for readers invested in Superman’s evolving relationships and moral code. It delivers action, stakes, and character development with the kind of polish expected from DC’s flagship title.
