Superman #654
Well, there's a disappointing read. After the excitement of "Up, Up, and Away", I was counting on Busiek to keep giving us more of the same, but it seems like he exhausted his best material with his inaugural arc. And I HATE Lois' new haircut. Everlost_MI has compared it to Ming the Merciless' skullcap, and he's right, too. It's just hideous.
The idea of Clark and Lois celebrating the anniversary of their first flight together is cute, but it would be a better story if we'd seen anything hinting at this anniversary over the past twelve years, which we have not.
The plot twist (?) at the end was pretty obvious too. Duh, Lois is just going to do the articles that Clark can't do, because she obviously knows that he's occupied elsewhere.
This single issue is much better than a some recent arcs written for Superman, such as "For Tomorrow" and "Godfall", but still, if Busiek doesn't get with the program quickly, I may lose interest in this title. EH.
