    Action Comics seen in Phantom Vision

    Complete with Phantom Zone [Ray Zone] Vision (3D), Geoff Johns has placed his finger prints on basically every aspect of Modern DC Comics.  Most famous for bringing back Hal Jordan, Johns is also the man who helped to set up New Krypton. 
     
    The climax of the story in my opinion.  Superman is taken to hell in back, Phantom Zone and earth.  In the Phantom Zone he discovers himself again, by learning about the youthful innocence of Christopher to honor and Valor with reuniting with Mon-El.  The Phantom Zone would be presented on page, as if almost like a filmstrip stretched out and warped.  Each panel is sized at what seems random as the pages of the Phantom Zone twist and turn.  The art is extremely strong and emotional.  The pages rendered in 3D look even more of a trip with its red and blue blurring. The Lettering is not laid out in 3D so you don't need glasses to see it in its 3D nature.  The 3D rendering just gives depth, so things like the glass shards take the front view while Superman and Mon-El are given more depth.
     
    Outside of the Phantom Zone, the comic returns to its natural presentation.  No more 3D once superman returns to Earth.  On Earth Zod has taken over the Fortress of Solitude. Superman would need to face his most famous of foes and look for help into stopping Zod.  This comic would leave a great cliff-hanger to set up for the conclusion.
     
    Cheers
