Indeed! I think it's a new writer, though, as the artist (V. Ken Marion, who did a great issue of the Batman: Gotham Nights digital series) tagged writer Stephanie Phillips (who wrote a great story in the DC Cybernetic Summer anthology a few months ago).
You should - it's been very enjoyable!

Superman: Man of Tomorrow #16
Written by Kenny Porter
Pencils Scott Kolins
Digital Release Date 28 September 2020
Superman is having nightmares, dreams of pain and destruction and he can’t understand why. That is until Darkseid comes to Metropolis and plans to use the Anti-Life equation to subjugate the universe, starting with Superman and his city! It’ll take every ounce of power Clark possesses in order to stop the mad despot from Apokolips!
Well that's just dumb. If it came out today, it would've attracted more discussion. Instead, it's out the same day as Marvel's comics, along with those from most other publishers. Wednesday is the worst possible choice of release day for a digital exclusive comic.

Solid issue, I enjoyed it, but the story was not really surprising. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't read the add before. The art was great.
By the way, the next issue is already announced:

an enjoyable read. It is a bit of conventional story but the writer did manage to make the dialogues and intensions enjoyable.

Another solid issue. I loved how Superman resolved the situation and the ending. I'm missing some long-term menace in the background, as we had during Venditti's run, but at least it's being fun.
As before, the next issue is already announced:
Superman: Man of Tomorrow #18
Written by Brandon Thomas
Pencils Christian Duce
Digital Release Date 26 October 2020
The Fortress of Solitude turns against Superman! Stripped of his powers, the Last Son of Krypton will need to use every piece of technology and mystery within the fortress to stay alive and find the criminal who broke in and overtook it!

Read the Phillips and Marion issue. I thought that was great! Kinda wish they were on the book long term. Phillips has a good handle on Clark’s voice and Marion draws a really kinetic comic. They’d be a good team for a “young” Superman story. Get props from me for using Sawyer too.
Edit: Looks like Stephanie Phillips is writing that Future State Harley Quinn book. Might check that out, hopefully it’s good and will lead to more work for her at DC.
