SIDE NOTE: Miguel's new suithas yet to be seen, but Peterdid offer to upgrade his threads, but the recently “retired” hero turned him down. Miguel suggested he “give it to Miles [Morales]),” which is an understandable reaction from a guywho feels like he's not needed. However, after the events of this issue, we'll no doubt we seeing it very,very soon.

Seriously. Buy it. Now. Why aren't you out the door, yet? Okay, fine – maybe one more image to get you up and moving:

We have a dynamite setup, good characters and great art. With all those factors present, I'm already itching for the next issue!

That quibble aside, SUPERMAN: LOIS & CLARK is an engaging first issue that avoids fizzing out like other spin-off books.

Please, DC. Please tell me these past few issues are just a setback and that you haven't lost interest in keeping this book good. Since the first issue after CONVERGENCE, it seems to have been made in a state of compromise. I don't feel these creatorswantto work on this book, like they don't take it seriously – there's no pride in the work. Iknowthese creators are more than capable of delivering the goods, so I'm going to continue to have patience with thebook and it'sextremely talented creators.
