“Last Son part 2″.  This story is coming along quite well.  Richard Donner, Geoff Johns and artist Adam Kubert know how to craft an exceedingly cinematic story.  It feels like you’re watching a movie.

So Superman wants to adopt the mysterious Kryptonian boy, though Lois is having reservations.  Lex Luthor sends Bizarro to go kidnap the kid.  Bizarro has been incarcerated for a year, retrained by Luthor to be more brutal and psychotic.  Bizarro and Superman tussle, putting the boy’s life in danger.

I like this newer, meaner Bizarro.  Wacky Bizarro was fun for a while, but this evil version is what I’ve always wanted.  The name Lois selects for the kid, “Christopher”, is a bit of a heavy-handed dedication to the memory of Christopher Reeves, but whatever.  It’s just a first name.  What really got me excited, though, was the cliffhanger ending and the possible parentage of the Kryptonian boy.  I’m looking forward to seeing how that turns out.
