PLOT:
When he didn't have his powers anymore, his life was like anyone else and was better. Now with his powers back, Clark now relives his old life. Being chewed up by Perry, late for mettings, assignments, Lois. Superman has returned, so has Clark's not-so-good life.
REVIEW:
Continuing from "Up, Up & Away", we see Superman back in his normal fashion. Fighting Intergang, Prankster, everyone is happy he's back, except for one: Clark Kent. His life was better when he wasn't Superman, now its vice-versa again.
Out of the two arcs (Action, Superman) this one is the one I had no problems with before getting. I still have concerns over the Action Comics title arc because that storyline kinda makes no sense after the conclusion of "Up, Up & Away". This storyline makes sense because its what happens when someone who has his life in order when he wasn't a superhero, gets that life back and the problems again. The Action Comics one doesn't. It would've if it was part of "Up, Up & Away" but no after. Anyway....more talk on this once I review that issue.
One of the surprises was Lana as the new CEO of LexCorp. I thought someone, prolly new, would be the one who would take over. But Lana? That's unexpected. I think its obivious Luthor will return to get his company back but what I'm really curious about is wheather or not this isma sign that Clark Kent as Superboy has been put back, due to that Smallville shot from Infinite Crisis. Still, time will tell.
Overall; this was a nice issue. Kurt Busiek is a good writer. His Superman: Secret Identity is one Superman (or real life one) that I love the most. This issue is part of an arc so let's see what's in some for later.
RATING: 7.5/10
