This review contains spoilers, click here to read
I waffle a bit on precisely how to rate this issue, because there's a lot to like and not much to actually dislike. This is Superman in his natural element: saving Metropolis from a powerful threat while Lois, Jimmy, Perry, and the others look on in wonder. There's a lot of little nods to Superman's past, and these might come off as a bit...cheesy, depending on your opinion of fond homage.
Readers who weren't sure what to do with Morrison's ACTION COMICS #1 should be a lot more at home with this take on the Big Blue Boy Scout, and maybe that's why it's so traditional, it seems. But at the same time there is forward motion: the iconic old Daily Planet building gets demolished in the first scene, and we find that the Planet has been absorbed into the news consortium owned by Morgan Edge. While the Planet cast will continue to work in a spanking new building, there is, of course, some suggestion that they'll be faced with dubious journalistic practices from their new owners - and that could be really cool and, better still, really poignant.
This is a little bit of everything that makes Superman good, and promises some stuff about how the status quo will be shaken up a bit. It also feels more self-contained, as an issue, than every other one of the New 52 I've read.
If I have one real complaint, it's the promised tie-in with STORMWATCH #1. I always thought it was really odd that the story of STORMWATCH, a Week One release, picks up from a plot thread in this Week Four release. But as it turns out, that thread is a single page and does not seem to have anything to do with the rest of SUPERMAN #1. Maybe it will. I dunno. But so far it just seems like a shameless plug for another book.
