I've to admit that i was a bit worried about Dan Jurgens after his last run on Superman but he has won me over with his Superman Lois and Clark and also with his Action Comics. Despite the fact i didn't like the first arc very much ( i didn't hate it either but i was expecting an Epic fight with Doomsday instead of that boring punching contest..) i liked the mysteries that he has been teasing since then and mostly i really like his characterization: his Superman really feels like Superman and behaves like Superman should , even Lois and Jon seem like real people with real and plausible emotions.
However these two new enemies do seem a bit dated tbh, but i am still excited for this new story arc since the premise it's still good
Action Comics may seem very generic, but i don't mind: Superman on an alien world it's just classic and i'd like to see a cosmic story once in a while.
Then regarding the Superman title,well, i trust Tomasi and Gleason: his art is really good looking,dynamic and cartoonish almost like the Aaron Kuder's work
Well dc has a long story regarding bad decision for Superman but i doubt that they will be crazy enough to reveal that the current superman is not the pre-52 one, despite what Mr OZ said: Superman's titles are well reviewed and he is finally selling well...and that's all that matters and a huge part in this success is due to the fact that fans know that this Superman is the post crisis one. Then as for his feats and power levels they mean nothing,they always fluctuate with any different writer: pre-52 Superman could survive to sun eaters's explosion more than once but that doesn't mean he hasn't been damaged by far weaker forces,he could lift the infinity twice, he moved planets with the league but that doesn't mean he hasn't failed into lifting smaller objects on his own. The fact he has had problems into the core of the Earth in the current JL title means nothing,really, since he had dozen of better showings and he will have new ones with the time...both good and bad ones.
@earthmine5248 About the shadow moon Superman was already flying at close lightspeed so the fact that even the moon was moving toward our planet ads nothing to the feat imo. Then as for Superman smashing those planetoids inside the Golem's head the author stated that they weren't as big as planets: they probably were just as big as they look, more or less as big as buildings, that's why i haven't included such a feat
