The stuff you praise of Soule's and Pak's is more or less their continuation or repetition of things Morrison's run already established. Clark pretty much said the same thing about being a reporter to Pete in a scene Sholly Fisch included in one of the early Action Comics back ups. That's not necessarily a criticism, though. For me, it's a bit too early to cheer Greg Pak's take on Superman. His stuff shows promise, but he hasn't yet tackled in any significant way the broader scope of Superman's world. He's done little with Metropolis and Daily Planet supporting cast like Jimmy and Lois. Also, while one might get some sense of Pak's Superman's dynamic with Superboy, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman from some of their appearances in Batman/Superman, they were more cameos than the deeper character work and interaction he had with Lana in Action recently. Even his work on Lana, while a nice addition, didn't cover important aspects of those characters like why Lana broke up with Clark the way she did and why it seems they hadn't been in touch for years. In other words, while Pak's work so far shows a promising knack for pacing, tone, and themes, he hasn't really gone into much depth yet. Until I see him take on other aspects of Superman, and in more depth, I don't feel ready to laud him as someone who's got it all right.
