My God, this is just awful. That's not entirely true, it just looks awful for Superman. The face looks gaunt and the eyes are completely wrong. This is J.R. Jr.'s 'stock' face these days. The legs are far too skinny and the slumped forward running pose is more suited to the Flash than Superman.The 'S' symbol looks completely off. Klaus Janson's inks look fine and are not as gritty as usual. I really liked this team on Thor 15 years ago, but that was 15 years ago and J.R Jr.s style has become even more formulaic since then.
Actually, all in all, this is a fine drawing but it just goes to show that Superman is dead as regards the square-jawed symbol of truth,justice and the American way that rocketed to Earth in 1938. I hope it was worth it DC for the quick cash grab that was the New 52.
