A third superman introduction story
So what can be said about this issue?
We see the end of Krypton
We see that the person Clark is renting from knows he's Superman
We see that the Daily Planet is owned by a group Perry White would never work for
We see corrupt Cops
We see the public's Reaction to Superman... which was badly done with the saving the cat scene. Anyone around would have seen that the truck would have killed the girl and a crowd wouldn't have been able to form that fast... We also see Clark is careless in this scene.
We see Clark has backing... kinda lame, but whatever. i could believe that Bruce might have contacted him or something.
We see Lois and Clark rivalry
We see Brainiac...
We see the birth of Metallo
We see Lex being an untrustworthy idiot...
Basically this is a good establishing comic, but this is issue #3... and nothing in this issue does really continues any story, not needing the previous issues to enjoy. We've had 2 good Superman introduction issues, but there are far too many things being thrown in all at once, and right now it all seems to not work together as a contiguous story. Yes they relate to each other and this event happens after that event, but it isn't really a singular story. Morrison has earned a wait and see from me from Batman RIP, but there is always the chance that he may get kicked off the title and thus leave an unfinished work to let someone else wrap it all up and I don't think someone else could do it. it's not the best comic, but it is pretty darn good one.
