The critic's review posted above is for a Supergirl series, not Adventures of Superman.
Following from the events of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, a brand-new direction (and history) for the Man of Steel. As the Freedom League stages several attacks in Metropolis, Clark Kent meets Cat Grant and Professor Hamilton for the first time.
Entertaining, though Lex Luthor makes a series of un-Lex like mistakes in this issue. Also, I just noticed how many of Lex's employees are women. An equal opportunity employer ahead of his time!
The diabolical Lex Luthor uses all the vast resources and limitless funding at his disposal to do the unthinkable: he learns the true identity of his hated enemy, Superman!
Review for the whole book. This was good, I read it a very, very long time ago and just re-read it right now and it's good, it's just... not as good as people remember it. The Bizarro issue is by far the best.

I always enjoy issues with Bizarro. Also features Lucy Lane, only she's blind and suicidal.

Story idea by Harlan Ellison and guest starring Hulk! It even has an Avengers team of A-listers. A pity then that it's kind of average. Just feels like a long-winded set-up for an Incredible Hulk issue.
The Hulk has finally been subdued thanks to the help of Reed Richards and Charles Xavier. But just as Mr. Fantastic gets Hulk in a glass tube, the green brute is teleported away!
