Review: The reimagining of the Superman line continues, and thank Heavens this issue works better than last week’s Action Comics. Clark Kent has been booted down to the crime beat and on the first night on the job he’s picked for a helicopter ride-along with the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit, an assignment that can be a hindrance for a reporter who needs to be free to move about as Superman. The night gets rougher when the SCU runs across Replikon, an old enemy with all the power of the combined Justice League.
