Well the good news is this was better than volume 1-2 of New52. The bad news? It's still messy.

Scott Lobdell decides to fully embrace the New52 assholish superman. He's a lot more hard headed, lot more violent, a lot more "I don't give a fucky fuck" style. So if anything got that entertaining superman. The story is about a new Kryptonian coming to earth because, well that always has to be the villain. Then when he reveals his plan to resurrect their old home it comes with the price. You've seen transformers right? Any of them? SO you know what will happen. Superboy and Superman team up against him but the evil Kryptonian has a helper, SUPERGIRL! Not the regular supergirl, new52 supergirl, who is rash and bitchy and whiny.

Good: Some of the fights are entertaining and BIG and BOMBASTIC. I also enjoyed the Lex Luthor part and the dialog between him and Superboy/Superman. Also Superboy wasn't half bad, maybe I need to check out that series.

Bad: The art sometimes looked really bad or the faces ugly. The dialog can be awful, especially with Clark and Lois. Supergirl acted way over the top and makes no sense to her true character. Things just jump all over and HUGE missing chunks of storyline are out of here. So sometimes things happen and you're like "How did he get that suit?" or "Why did they change their mind?" with very very little explaining...

Overall this was a very meh read. I didn't hate it like volume 1-2 but it's not good. I can't believe the big jump in quality that Rebirth delivers compared to this shit. a 2 out of 5.
