    Once again, only the superman story worth really youre time, but Zatarra and Marco polo story development are nice....This time superman help a circus and rescue Lois after she got held by a saboteur. It's like the story of robin origin, but nobody gets hurt in this one, even the bad guy. Quality is all right in this issue, but again too many boring episode....I keep reading Pep morgan, I don't really know why......
