I just got done reading the lastest issue of X-Men Gold and it was the best issue of the Gold series in a while.
And you know Bendis is gearing up to have Clark cheat with the new fire chief lady while Lois is away.The Immortal Hulk is giving us some legendary puff. Hopefully Ewing can keep it up.
Bendis' Man Of Steel mini was really just him getting rid of all the Superman stuff he didn't want to bother with in his ongoing book. Wrote of Kandor, Lois, Jon and Kara in a mere six weeks.
That's one of the prime reasons I much more enjoy something like King's Batman run because he sticks to the roots instead of shytting on everything that people did before him while adding a whole bunch of extra shyt to leave his "mark".

Why none of you nikkas told me about Hoopla? 
You can read trades the day they come out, for free with your library card. And it has a similar panel-by-panel viewing system as Comixology and Marvel.
Just read People vs. Justice League, Super Sons vol 1, and Red Hood and the Outlaws vol 1. Only downside is you can only check out 8-10 books a month (depending on your local library).

Read Bendis's Man of Steel last night. Was expecting it to be trash, but it actually has me cautiously optimistic about his run.
I've read all of the Action Comics and Superman Rebirth runs, but I haven't read Action Comics 1000, Doomsday Clock or Super Sons of Tomorrow, so there were some things I was confused me. I also trade wait the majority of my books now, so there may be other stuff I haven't read yet.
Was it ever confirmed that
It was so transparent how they handled Lois and Jonathan that Bendis didn't want to write them, and I don't care about whatever sexual tension Superman and the firefighter chick are going to have.
The entire story feels very anticlimactic, from
Obviously a lot of people don't like Rogol Zaar or
but I think it could be an interesting challenge of Clark's idealistic view of Krypton. If handled right, we could really get Clark discovering a darker side of Krypton that he never knew about, even though he prides himself on being a Krypton historian.
There's also been a common thread throughout Rebirth that there's some unspoken issues and resentment between Clark and the guardians and Green Lantern Corps.
I definitely see it leading to a Crisis crossover between Superman vs the Lanterns, where Superman feels the guardians should have done something about Krypton and resents the Lanterns for being their puppets. This was brought up in the Injustice comics, and I'd be interested in seeing it in the DCU proper.
All in all, it's definitely a flawed story, but it was enough to get me excited for what Bendis does with the Superman books.

Was it ever confirmed that
Mr. Oz was really Jor-El? They act like they know it's really him, but at the end of Booster Shot, Clark still wasn't sure (though it appeared Jor-El did escape Krypton)

The entire story feels very anticlimactic, from
the mysterious presence in the kitchen being Jor-El (?) to Rogol Zaar being trapped in the Phantom Zone. It's obviously a prologue for Bendis's run, but it didn't feel like anything was really established. We don't really know Rogol Zaar's motivations. And how is Lois's "book deal" supposed to work without exposing Clark and Jon's identities?
Obviously a lot of people don't like Rogol Zaar or
him destroying Kandor and being responsible for the destruction of Krypton
There's also been a common thread throughout Rebirth that there's some unspoken issues and resentment between Clark and the guardians and Green Lantern Corps.
In Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, Sayd asks Ganthet if they should tell Superman the truth about Krypton, to which Ganthet is like, "
. Chill, bytch."
And in The People vs. The Justice League, Superman tells Simon, "Let's do lunch," which Simon takes as an insult, like, "
. fukk you mean, 'Let's do lunch'?" Simon sees it as Superman looking down on him, as though they're not equals as teammates, but Simon and Jessica are a tier lower than Superman and the Trinity. I could see Clark feeling that way about all the Lanterns, considering the way he kept blowing off Hal. Plus the tease that the guardians may have had some involvement with Rogol Zaar.

Decided to read Green Lanterns Rebirth.
Jessica Cruz is a dope character. A Green Lantern with anxiety could have been horrible, but they really made it work. I also like that the book touches on what life is like for Jessica and Simon being PoC in modern America, though it could go deeper.
Synder's Justice League is so far much better than I expected. I'll give him this opening arc to impress me.

shyt like this is exactly why I didn't want Bendis on Superman.The Immortal Hulk is giving us some legendary puff. Hopefully Ewing can keep it up.
