Good ideas. Bad writing. Really bad writing. Why is Geoff Johns considered one of the best writers of contemporary comics? He pales next to Busiek and Morrison.

Well, it wasn't a bad continuation of the plot line from the first volume, but it did end up falling into the usual superhero tropes pitting two groups of superpowered characters against each other based upon a catalyzing action. If you're not up to date on your Superman mythos as well, there might be some characters you don't know anything about and it's still a mystery how Kandor ended up on Earth (I'm not caught up on Superman mythos) and what the point of capturing Superman's cadre of supervillains was, but I'm sure that'll come into play in later volumes. Lastly, the art... it's a real mixed bag again. Some of it is decent, but some is downright amateur.
