BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
 How will Superman's peers react to the news that he is really mild mannered reporter Clark Kent (and vice versa)? Pretty well, and pretty briefly it turns out. The actual 'heroes react' segment is four Kevin Maguire pages with just as many heads and expressions as you might expect. That leaves a bunch of pages around the reveal that work from 'basically' to 'totally'. There's an extended Jimmy Olsen sequence from Matt Fraction and Steve Leiber(Hey! They do Jimmy's book!), a nice dismantling of "speaking one's truth" by a sour Bruce Wayne most likely by Rucka/Perkins, and a move to return Lex to 100% big bad by big bad Bendis. Not nearly as essential as it could have been, far better than the tripe that this sort of book often results in. I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
