"BACK IN THE PLANET" part two! As the Daily Planet's star returns to work, so does Lex Luthor. Meanwhile, Superman continues to investigate the devastation in the aftermath of the Doomsday attack.
Been there, done that too many times. Same story only now it's twice a month with a some characters sprinkled in that only a handful of readers care about. Ever wonder why they haven't been featured or popped up more often before now ? Simple , they can't carry a book. Sadly "Detective" will also be part of an early crossover with the "Batman" title in the near future but after that it's off my pumore

Overall I enjoyed this first chapter but it had its share of problems as well. My first issue was the pacing. It tried to accomplish a little too much over 20 pages. To me the best Superman stories are character driven plot where this seemed to be the reverse. I'm a fan of Patch Zircher and I would have liked to seen a nice 2 page splash of the new suit being revealed for the first time but all thmore
