The scar is interesting. I thought the Dr. Veritas flirting was really strange.
Jimmy in the shower? Dumb. I mean good for Jimmy I guess but I'm guessing we'll never see this girl again and it's just to show that Jimmy has game. But he's just coming off as the obnoxious roommate.
Superman abusing his powers to creep on Lois Lane? Is this Super-dick silver age superman again? Wasn't this the same issue when he had been ranting about morality and honesty? Hypocritical. I disapprove.
Quitting? I don't know, it's not totally off base because there's some real worldness in the fact that print media is dying, but the Daily Planet was always supposed to be the newspaper that upheld honesty and stuff. I'd prefer to see the real Perry and the real Lois stick to their guns and fight this corporate infestation. But I'll try to reserve judgement because I hope that Clark, Lois, and the gang are able to save the Planet. If they've written the Planet off completely and he never goes back then i'll have a problem with that. The Daily Planet is an integral part of the Superman mythology.
New Powers. It's interesting, just confusing. I thought New 52 Superman was supposed to be less powerful? That's the only confusing thing, the new power is a little intriguing.
I didn't enjoy the issue, the dialogue was excessive and hard to get through. I think it's really hard to do thought balloons well, and I thought they were too cheesy. I have grown fond of Rocafort's art though. I'd be angrier about all the changes if it were actually Superman. This new character feels nothing like the real Man of Steel or who he's supposed to be. Hopefully Scott Snyder's title will be good.
