I'd probably go with a 3.5 in the end.

This is basically a standalone story for Superman New52. So you don't really need to read anything prior to this to enjoy it. You get a information dump the first two issues, which is a lot to digest (and where my negative points show) because it's a bore to read through some of these pages. A lot of exposition. Which is odd since Snyder doesn't do that with Batman.

The good part of the story comes in with Wraith and Superman talking. Different views, despite them both being good people, wraith follows orders, Superman does his own thing, yet you get to see who the "true" hero really is. I liked their back and forth. I also enjoyed getting to see a small moment in Clark's life as a boy. So those story moments worked.

Also I love the art here. I know some don't like his style but this and Hush are some of my fave art for comics. So for me, it works real well. The art looks amazing when fighting too, the coloring is also top notch.

The bad comes down to bogged down story with too much talking, and a neat ending, when it deserved to be deeper, or bigger, or maybe both. Overall a entertaining Superman story for sure, better than 80% of the Superman run, which is pretty sad, but a well done "Superman" story where get to see the Man of Steel in action.
