Storyline is quite scattered, there is a lot of back and forth between the "Now" and "Then" periods. I feel like I've also missed out on the start of the relationship, as they seem too comfortable with one another.

Coming off my high praises for 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' I can't help but feel somewhat betrayed by DC. I finally thought I may be getting hooked back on Superman - I felt like I was experiencing some of my childhood joy again - until I read this graphic novel. I was gritting my teeth through the entire storyline. There was too much blubbery romance, too much dwelling on complex emotions and not enough ass-kicking. The storyline was just not great at all. It's not like this is a long graphic novel... and yet I almost didn't even finish it.
I enjoy a bit of complexity and real life in my comics but this was just too much. Luckily I was given a free electronic copy of this graphic novel through NetGalley because I certainly would have felt ripped off if I paid for it.
I'm at a crossroads here: Do I continue reading Superman comics and take the chance of DC ruining my childhood hero or just drop him into my memory bucket with all the good comic memories from yester-year and live with my happy memories of books I enjoyed?
I recommend skipping this one unless you like your superheroes written like Twilight novels.

Really good! I have never overly liked Superman, but this story added depth to him and Superwoman and a plausible, easy to follow plot (something kinda unusual for DC).

Stories are alright, nothing too special, a couple that seem more like vignettes though. Art is bright, vivid, splashy: really nice.

More a 3.5. Too much neurotic relationship stuff in the story or it could have been higher. Better than I expected, though.

An OK book, introduces the new 52 version of Doomsday and Zod, other than that not that much interesting stuff going on.

You know, this makes the most sense. Wonder Woman and Superman feel like the perfect pair. They are both strong enough to really love each other safely. I can't believe it took so long to get this to happen. I don't know why they brought back Zod for this. Doomsday is back too. I guess they need the biggest villains to fight.
There was plenty I rolled my eyes at here and things I liked. Overall, I was entertained by this story. I might keep going with it.
