Bendis drags out the mafia storyline and Red Cloud plots with Leone to take down Superman.

Lois tells the General that Superman is the father of her son, while Jimmy meets his girlfriend's cult buddies and Clark takes a trip to Atlanta.

This issue was an improvement over the past, as Bendis manages to tell an engaging story reminiscent of a pre-Flashpoint comic, but it's worrisome that Lois isn't communicating with Clark for presumably dramatic purposes.

In the Fortress of Solitude, Lois and Clark come up with a plan to infiltrate Leviathan.

Lois and Clark are undercover in London, digging for clues on who and what Leviathan is.

Epting's art was fantastic, and Anderson's colors really compliment his style. The Superman suit looks vibrant in every issue, and this is no exception. Manapul's variant cover featuring Superman, Lois, and Jimmy was also beautiful. One of the things that I have liked a great deal about Leviathan Rises is seeing the trio work together again. I hope that this is the new status quo.

Lois and Clark share a romantic getaway in the Bermuda Triangle, while Robinson Goode flexes her investigative reporting chops.

Robinson Goode continues her quest to make a name for herself and investigate Leviathan's schemes. Meanwhile, Clark Kent searches for clues on his own.

Marc Andreyko continues to deliver an incredible Supergirl, and the backup stories, including one written by the great Dan Jurgens, are an added treat.

Andreyko continues to deliver an entertaining adventure as Kara and the Omega Men fight their way through The Citadel.

Kara and the Omega Men continue to battle Hokum and his forces, while Z'ndr gets a blast from the past.

Kara, Z'ndr, and Krypto enjoy a brief respite while the Circle closes in on them.

Supergirl confronts Lord Gandelo and Z'ndr Kol in the wake of his betrayal.

Kara reunites with Clark and Jon, and together they take on Rogol Zaar.

In conclusion, this was a very fun issue, which ends on a suspenseful note that will get you hyped for the next installment. I can't wait to see where things head next.

Bendis continues to write a good Clark, and keeps the audience on tenterhooks concerning Jon's fate.

Bendis's efforts to tell an engaging story are stagnated by his misunderstanding of Lois Lane.

Jon continues to explain to Lois and Clark what happened with Jor-El in space.

Jon is held captive in Ultraman's volcano on Earth-3, and escapes to the Hall of Justice, only to be accosted by another blast from the past.

Jon concludes his recollection of his time in space, and he and his parents make plans on their next course of action.
