  This is a good opening to Rucka's Superman. Mr. Rucka though an author more at home with grim and gritty seems to know that the presence of a Superman upsets the noir genre. Matthew Clark's art conveys the energy of Superman against a Metropolis that looks like a real city rather than a Mattel toy. If you haven't paid your respects on the Man of Steel lately, now just may be the best time to do so. Read Full Review

I know its Clarks new job BUT lets remember this is the ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, not the SCU and Clark Kent. I must admit I enjoyed Action Comics better, but so far for the new teams its two out of two. Read Full Review
