Sadly, after a rather strong first issue, the pacing of this one kind of lost me. It's always a challange (no pun intended) to write challanges for Superman with all the powers he has (specially when he's got a family of Kryptonians by his side) so here the writers decide to basically make the threat have the ability to give themselves new super-powers on the fly.

The supposed horror doesn't work because it starts, and then goes by, way too quickly or affects characters off-screen. The threat also feels to rushed. I really wish they'd spent a little more time building it up so that Superman's inevitable team-up with Lex felt less convenient.

Also, that new character could have used a better intro than Deus-Ex-Machina Girl. She appears out of nowhere, gives Supes his charge back, then leaves jsut as quickly.

Campbell's art is strong as usual. more
