The weakest of the 4 volumes.

I do want to state this isn't a bad volume by any means. It's just a weaker one. The art still holds very well. We still get some great moments, especially with Clark trying to deal with some of his own people when Supergirl returns. Those arcs are solid as well as dealing with just the everyday stuff like with Jimmy Olsen. Even the Checkmate issue was solid.

But the rest? Pretty meh in every aspect. Most stories drag on or feel pointless. None of them really resonated with me. I didn't care about Power Player storyline, Return to Krypton was interesting enough but then went trippy and lost all interest in the entire plot. Doom Patrol lacked any sort of edge, and Hostage Crisis was just meh.

Yeah, this just didn't hold a candle to volume 1, 2, or even 3. A 2.5 out of 5. I'll bump it to 3 just for the art alone.
