This book is amazing, and I'm slowly becoming convinced that I, in a werewolf-like transform, actually become Matt Fraction. It's the only explanation for a book that is SOOOOO much for me.

There has never been a better case as to why--over of everyone--Superman calls Jimmy Olsen his pal. Jimmy brings this out of him, and Fraction makes it clear that he's genuinely having an amazing time with his best friend. Then later when he has to go and he knows Jimmy's feeling down, he tries to help, and it doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated.

The majority of this issue is just straight up Jimmy and his best friend, who happens to be Superman, just kickin it, and damn if that sh!t don't slap hard!!!

I'll just say it: Superman needed this book and this singular issue nearly as much as Jimmy needed this whole run. This is actual gold.
