I'm starting to wonder if the new Superman status quo is a mistake. Within this single issue, it is noted that Action Comics will follow Nightwing and Flamebird and Superman will follow Guardian, and I have little reason to care about any of these characters. Between Johns and Robinson, I've been surprised at how much I've been enjoying Superman for the past year, and now they're going and shaking that all up... and I'm dreading it. To be sure, the creative teams have something to offer and it may all turn out to be good, but I can't avoid this feeling of impending doom and editorial heavy-handedness. Even when looking at this issue alone, little movement happens and the story feels somewhat suffocated. Superman continues to distrust Zod (big surprise there, eh?), Luthor and General Lane get ahold of Brainiac's ship and technology (also inevitable, really), and the Phantom Zone is destroyed and Mon-El is pulled into the real world "to die". Ok, that last part offers something, but just as we're presented with that, the story ends early for an Origins and Omens back-up about a character I, as I've said, don't care about. Really, DC, can't you just let me enjoy my Superman?
