    The cover reminds me of a Duck Tales episode. The plot is more comical than usual, but still works. Mr. Mxyzptlk makes a pest of himself, even when he's trying to help. Usually he'd wreck things to get a rise out of Superman, but here he portrays thousands of shocked fanboys at the time, unable to accept Lois and Clark have broken up. He tries everything to pull them back together while granting every person in town a wish (Lucky Luthor was out of town at this point). In a time where fans were in shock by the breakup and a lot of suspense lately this issue provided some much-needed laughs. Superman cleverly got rid of Mxyzptlk in an amusing way as well. When you check out the first page alone, you can tell you're in for a crazier-than-usual more
