    Unhorrible...but close

    as ive stated in my blog (a day) i haven't been really feeling the current storyline for superman.  i find that it seems to be lacking in...well a point. and nothing has really changed in this issue. in fact it might be worse here as this is an "interlude" to the story arc. 
     
      Basically the storyline is about Lois lane meeting with a family and thinking about what a life without superman or at least a powerless one. its an actionless issue so don't expect any crazy drunk hick fighting like in the last issue. the dialoge wasnt too bad but nothing great. 
     
    but like i stated up above the whole thing lacks much of a point. yes i understand its supposed to be a look in lois' thoughts during this whole arc but it seems to be well treaded material. the art wasnt the greatest in my opinion either as superman looks...off. unsure how to explain it. 
     
    You probably wouldn't miss much if you just skipped this issue. it wasn't atrocious but it was forgettable...which may be worse.

       Just want to get one thing out of the way first. I don't read Superman monthly. Actually, I don't read Superman. I like JMS, just not that much. G Willow Wilson and leandro Oliveira step in for a fill in, and I picked this up just because everyone said it was so bad. it was okay.  The story The story focuses on Lois Lane, who wants to get back to her old life. She thinks about Superman,and runs into her old boyfriend, Brian. He's gotten married, had kids, and they reminnisce a bit. Lois then ru...
