Once "Grounded" is over, at this point I'd be happy to see a Roberson and Barrows creative team be announced as permanent once Straczynski's plotting has ended. Roberson is showing good instincts on how to use the pre-determined plots to his advantage, and his work on books like "iZombie" has also been entertaining. Until then, though, I've got much more confidence in the book getting a chance to build toward a strong conclusion. And that's good enough for now. Read Full Review

Still, there are things that still need to be clarified. Knowing that someone is responsible for Supermans current state of mind doesnt make it more fun to read about, and as we are going into the second half of this storyline, hopefully Roberson will be able to steer it to a satisfying resolution.

Here's hoping that DC cuts their losses and moves away from JMS' poorly-concocted storyline, forgetting it ever happened. It was an interesting idea that failed to achieve what it set out to do, and it's unfair to have the blame be shifted to Roberson. The man's doing the best he can with the material, but Superman #708 proves that there probably wasn't much to work with in the first place. Read Full Review

Its not that this issue is badly written or scripted (although I really, really could have done without the super clunky exposition and ridiculous techno babble.) Its just that this arc (still) seems to be going nowhere, and is beginning to head 180 degrees from the objective it seemed to set out for itself at the beginning. Confusing sums it up best, really.
