The book was a bit of a slog to read in some portions. I didn’t like the marriage part between Lex and Lois (this isn’t even the first time this has been a thing) but it just feels weird because Lois just stays with him and hes just the worst person ever. He literally tries to divorce her because he wants to obsess about Superman alone. lol  Also the Wonder Woman romance was so sad because she never really got love but also a lot of this book in some ways did show a little of Mark Millarisms and by that I mean: weird woman hating behavior from men, and aggressive behavior for no reason— but other than that:

What I loved:
It was a tame book for mark millar 
Lex Luthor a obsesión was great and the US Superman was an interesting concept. Loved the logo for Superman and for Bizarro Superman 
I loved the perspective of socialism vs capitalism in a Russians eyes— no less Supermans. 
Acknowledging Superman’s attention span to save people and how he just wants to do good.
This still shows an evil side of Superman (I mean come on the guy works with brainiac and we are supposed to believe this is still our same Superman lol) 
It’s like a morally grey character who thinks they’re 100% on the right side because they have the right intent but the execution isn’t perfect. 
I do like that he resisted invading AM in the story because he wanted to win the argument with words and not strength too. The art was very similar to a Max Flesicher cartoon as well and the inks were phenomenal next to the montoned dark pallets
