Orange is the new black

Speedy Review: 
 
Paul Cornell writting Action Comics!  Do I need to say more?  I have been a fan and no not of his Marvel stuff but of his work for BBC.  I am so excited about his being on this series!   Throw in Lex Luthor as the center of attention and I am on cloud nine. 
 
So was the story worth all that hype?  Yes, and that is an absolutely positive yes.  Great first issue!  We get to see Lex and a piece of how he works.  The last page reveal was fantastic, right out of a Dr Who episode.   
 
Pete Woods' art was the best I have ever seen from him.  Clean, flowing, and with great panel layouts.  Much better than anything that he did in the Superman: World of New Krypton mini.   
 
Story - 5 
Art - 5 
 
Overall 5 
 
Jump on board now!  Cornell's run is going to be epic

This didn't happen, but thankfully, Lex is wants that power again.  The Good Best part of this issue is the fact Lex Luthor stars in it. I've never been the biggest Superman...
