This is by far the best volume of the series so far. It gets a solid 3 if not a 3.4. The art is once again nice, and I liked the idea of Lex a lot (Though not the final outcome) I also loved the moments with Clark and his mother in this volume, very well done. We also got deeper into Clark and who he is, and what makes him different than the previous incarnations of this character. I just wish the villain could have been better like all the other volumes but a fun 3-arc story so far and would def pick up volume 4 whenever it comes out.
