I liked this issue. I don't see what the cover had to do with anything that actually happened in the issue, but I liked it just fine all the same.

I don't like the subplot with Lana, and I hope it's just that, a subplot, because if they are writing her death that way, it seems a little cliche.

I still don't believe that Lucy is dead. Shunted to another time or dimension I can believe, but not dead, especially with no body and her dad faking his death in the exact same way.

The scene with Lois was pretty good too. I really liked the quiet anger and denial. If I lived in one of the big 2 universes, any time something bad happened I'd have so many ready made excuses like that it'd be ridiculous.

 I liked the art okay. The scene with the psychic grenade reminded me a lot of Savage Dragon, which is good.
