This particular issue of Superman, I believe, is more of a flash-back issue, than having anything to do with any current story-lines. Next issue James Robinson takes over on the scripting chores, with Renato Guedes on the art. I think this issue was just a fill in, until they can get into place. We see Superman / Clark in the early stages of his career, when he was still trying to make a name for himself at the Daily Planet. And still trying to get the attention of a certain female reporter. But the main part of the story is Superman's first meeting with Green Lantern. Not Hal Jordan, but Allan Scott. Which, as was usual with the Green Lantern back then, when you came across him . . you usually had to deal with Solomon Grundy also. This was Superman's first time, and at the end of the fight . . he thought he killed him. But as we know now, you can't really kill Grundy. You can put him down . . for a little while. But, he always comes back sooner or later. I thought it was an interesting issue. We also see that Luthor is up to something, but we don't get very much information on that front yet. Vito Delsante wrote the story. Julian Lopez, and Bit, did the art. Now we just have to sit back and wait for James Robinson's debut next month.
