I love a good epic woman duo. Its crazy to me that Lois Lane has super man's powers but she is one bad ass chick fighting to save Metropolis. The story seemed to move nicely and the characters were butt kickers. I loved the art and the layout. It was beautifully created.
Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
I love coming into these comics as a virgin to the storyline. It gives me a fresh perspective, and I feel like if I can't understand the plot, there's something missing. You can't write comics for only the die hard fans. A) You'll never please them, and B) You're cutting your readership by well over half.
I REALLY got into this story arc. It's intensely slow in some places, and because I'm not following the Rebirth series that closely, there is quite a bit of story I'm missing, which didn't help. But overall, I was able to follow along, and I was able to root like hell for these strong women.
Even the villain isn't so villainy as to not be a little sympathetic. And I adore a good villain.
I would really like to continue with this series. Well done, good start.

'Superwoman, Volume 1: Who Killed Superwoman' by Phil Jimenez is a story that seemed like it should be interesting, but it took me a long time to work my way through it.
In the new Rebirth universe, Superman is gone. In his place, Lex Luthor has power armor and wants to be the new Superman. There is also a Superwoman. Actually two. Lois Lane and Lana Lang have discovered they have powers. They are untrusting of Lex Luthor. Also, Lois' powers seem to be killing her. It may be up to Lana and a few surprise guests to set things right.
The art is fine by the series of artists in these 6 issues. I just really didn't care. It was exposition heavy, even during fight scenes. A lot of the pages had split points of view, which was fine, but it was just so dialogue intensive. I did manage to finish it, but I found myself reading it, then putting it down. That's never a good sign for me and graphic novels.

I am late to this series. It took a bit to catch on to what was going on. In fact, I am not 100% certain I do know what is going on. It was a fun ride, though.
I just have no idea what is happening after I finish the flash point arc I'll try and find a beginning somewhere. I liked the story even though I didn't know about Lex, Lena, or what happened to Clark or why there are still a few Kents out there.
An interesting start to the new Superwoman story. I've not read much Superwoman but wanted to give this a go. The art was incredibly well done, although I found the story forgettable!
I'm hoping that I can try again with another title!

Honestly, this one isn't that great. It's confusing at times, the writing is kind of cheesy at points, and I care very little for the characters. I know it's an established universe, but that doesn't mean that I don't want a little world-building and character development.
