Man, Johns sure can write the hell out of Luthor, can't he? Yet another testament to the man's great writing prowess is the ability to make us excited about a villain we've seen again and again. It feels fresh here because we know there's a caveat, and... well, his dialogue is awesome. God of Ambition, indeed. The rest of the book manages to be fairly compresses, but effective. We're still not sure of the significance of Nightwing and Flamebird, and I don't like that they never even tried to explain -in the story- that these characters were old Kryptonian superheroes (and where Nightwing of Earth took his inspiration from), but the hints of a connection to Connor continue. We're also (re)introduced to The Creature Commandos (but get an explanation this time... go figure), but their purpose is not yet clear. Superman actually plays a very small role in this, and we still have to see what Luthor and Lane's endgame is (not sure I feel about more Doomsday), but we are treated to a shocking moment at the end of this issue, which is somehow more startling by the fact that we're given a second by the layout to see it coming. With only two parts to go (Supergirl doesn't count until it gives a reason to be counted), we can expect a lot to be packed into a few pages.

I don’t know who is more sexy, Supergirl or Superwoman? But they’re both super HOT!
