  Judging from the last panel (a full-pager), the real eruption will come between Superman and Lois. Knowing how temperamental she can be, he might want to take another swing at the lava. Read Full Review

  The only real drawbacks arise out of the story's publication in monthly instalments rather than as one contiguous whole. The Kryptonite narration feels a little disjointed from issue to issue, and the book's plot doesn't move particularly quickly, but I have a feeling it will hang together better in the inevitable collected edition. This issue also sports an uncharacteristically dull cover: a static shot of Lois and Jimmy Olsen that doesn't exactly make the book leap off the shelf. Despite these small flaws, however, Superman Confidential is a quality package that evokes a certain nostalgia for the character as well as doing something which feels fairly new with him. It's more firmly rooted in character than All-Star Superman or Action Comics, so anyone looking for an action-packed blockbuster of a story might feel slightly disappointed, but for my money, this is far more interesting and artfully told than your average Superman story.
