I know, right?
I was worried because Clark's a very different kind of character than Bendis usually writes. He's got layers and layers and a lot of them are conflicting, and there's a duality to Superman that no one else in comics really shares; no one else divides who they are as deeply as Clark/Superman. And not many writers can get a proper hold on all of that and still make the guy interesting and fun and flawed, while still being......Superman. But Bendis......he totally pulls it off. He gets Clark's voice better than almost anyone not named Morrison, and it still blows my mind.
That fact alone makes me want to forgive how dreadful Zaar has been, and the other missteps in the run. We actually have someone who gets Clark's voice right, who gives a damn that one of the villains is boring as hell? Especially when the other villains (Red Cloud, invisible mafia) are solid?
