It’s marginally better than the last issue, but the previous issue was a train wreck, so that doesn’t say much.

There’s some good moments here, like the first pages with Jon and Jon-El talking about their places in the universe. It’s interesting and explores their characters. However, things quickly went downhill from there. Narrative is inconsistent at best (Superman randomly hitting asteroids when he gets mad doesn’t look good, and Mongul randomly attacking his old Fortress for some reason doesn’t make sense), and characterisations remain wack (what the hell Lois, also, what’s with Kilowog and Arisia? They’re known Green Lanterns! They wouldn’t have left a kid who’s asking for a way home alone with a shady dude!).

It’s just...pretty bad. Ugh, when will Bendis get off this book? more
