These issues finish up the story line that was started by the ginormous bad guy, the Auctioneer, who said there was a third Kryptonian on Earth (for some reason I'm still not clear on, Power Girl doesn't count?). It wasn't a great resolution to the mystery, but the fighting that accompanied the reveal of the mystery was interesting. I'm also not sure that I like just how many Kryptonians are floating around. Superman used to be unique, but now...

I also didn't like the the art very much, especially how Jonathan and Martha were drawn. But, despite the bad art, I did like the story, "The Bad Day". Single Superman or Dating Superman is fine, but I love Superman family stories and this one was out of this world for sure. (
