This was a good start to the action comics with Superman , Luthor in a suit mimicking superman , Clark kent and a weird looking doomsday wait Superman and clark kent both at one place? WTF?

The biggest problem with this book is how similar it seemed to be to the main Superman title. Batman and Detective Comics distinguished themselves perfectly from each other, whereas this one didn't, as they both just deal with the old/new Superman dealing with the death of the N52 Superman. Which makes sense, as obviously that's an important character plot, but I still wanted more of a clear-cut distinction.
That said, it was a really, really fun read as it was mostly action, and I really enjoyed it. For the same reason, however, I don't think that I need to read it twice monthly, but I do really, really look forward to reading it in trades for longer doses of some glorious action.

Has some great stuff in it, but feels like it's front-loading all its best moves. Still not a fan of post-DOS Clark being the new main Superman.

Great setup that has me asking so many questions. The art is fantastic and the story is written really well with just the amount of dialogue vs action sequences. Great partner comic to be reading along with Superman.
