Wondering if anyone's read this and what they think of it.

I think it's a pretty good story with a nice premise and good artwork. It seems a little fanfictioney, but it's an elseworld story about if Lara and Jor-El were able to go with Clark when he escaped Krypton.

Not too much has been going on yet seeing as Clark is just entering his teenage years, but Lara and Jor-El have been working on bettering Earth in their own ways. Doing Superman's normal work, but also introducing Kryptonian technology (Jor) and Raology (Lara). There really isn't too much going on, just Jor and Lara adapting to their new lives on Earth and working through their popularity. Lex is the same age as Clark, and since Jor-El started up a technology company, Lexcorp wasn't created or isn't worth nearly the same amount as it does in canon. Though Lex does get a job at Jorcorp for solving a puzzle that was deemed impossible.

It's a three-shot with the next issue probably focusing on Clark finishing growing up in the shadow of Jor, and Lara working on what she was doing in the first issue.

Eh, it is really more bland then anything.

I mean it has good artwork, and a decent premise but the characters (while not one-dimensional) aren't engaging, nor is the plot IMO.

So far it is worth a read, but I wouldn't say it was worth buying.
