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.
A good attempt that just doesn't quite get it done. This is one of DC's second tier books for me.

Could not get into this one. A lot going on. But that's okay. My problem was, like so many other DC/Marvel books right now, they give us a strong female lead and then, for no reason, make every bad guy and other character of importance female. If you want the stories to be given the credit they deserve, not force women to fight only new, made up women. Let them take on established villains. Don't just suddenly make Lex Luthor's sister the main person and have her surround herself with other female bad guys. Make it even guys!
You know, this was surprisingly one of the most well put together Rebirth books I've read it. Also pretty diverse, with most of the supporting characters being characters of colour and/or queer.
This book was honestly one of the bigger downers though. Lana has a hard time here and is clearly struggling on a personal level. Her best friend dies, then Lois who she was becoming close to dies and she now is living with the fear that the same thing will happen to her.
Downsides? Well, it ends on a cliffhanger which always makes me frown, but that's a personal preference thing. I could argue that too much time is spent on Lex Luthor and that Steel is around a lot but doesn't really get to actually do that much. But pretty minor quibbles.
It's not a perfect book but it's pretty damn great. Looking forward to the next volume.

I finished this ARC this morning, just one day before the file expires. Oops.
So the protagonist of this novel is Lana Lang - probably a lesser-known character from the DC Universe. She, along with the infamous Lois Lane, doubles as a Superwoman - protecting the city now that Superman is gone. Of course, they still have Lex Luthor playing Superman, but he seems to be bringing more trouble than good.
I won't ruin it for any potential readers, but I will tell you this: Lex's past is really coming back to haunt him now. After all these years, there appears to be a new Luthor on the block...
My favourite part of this was Lana's battle with anxiety. Yeah, I know, I always point out stuff like that. But this was really good - I found it so relatable at times. It was so refreshing to see a big superhero character have human issues like anxiety.
And I actually found myself feeling kinda sorry for Lex. He was only trying to help (though I suppose we all know the road to Hell is paved with good intentions).
I really liked this volume. The art was great, the plot interesting, and the characters relatable. 4 out of 5 stars. A series I'll be reading more of.

This is probably the most feminist comic I've read so far, and it's not even trying yet.
Truly bloody awful. Just avoid. If I was able to put into words how dire this is, I'd be rambling for at least 3k words if not more. So much wrong with this I don't know where to begin. Just don't bother
