So I love Kurt Busiek work usually, and I'm a fan of Superman, so this should be a slam dunk right?

Superman doesn't have powers. After the events of Infinite Crisis he lost them. So he's trying to be the reporter he always wanted to be with his wife. However, soon Lex returns to begin his evil plotting as well as a world without superman having trouble adjusting. Half way through, no big spoilers, Superman regains his powers and begins the rebirth, in a way, of our caped hero.

Good: I enjoyed the art, and the moments with Clark and Lois was amazing. I really dug the idea of Clark using his smarts for once to out do his villains instead of pure power, least for the first half.

Bad: The pacing felt disjointed. Overly long build up for not a major payoff. Lex's plans seemed meh, the fights not all that interesting, and honestly the overall plot felt too saturday morning cartoon for me.

This wasn't all that great. Busiek wrote a much better superman tale, one of my favorite, called secret identity. I recommend that one 100%!!! This is a 2.5 out of 5.
