Clark & Lex

In honesty, this is more of a 3 1/2 ⭐️ than 4 ⭐️ review. Loved the artwork, and some elements of the story, but the authors did lean a little hard into making Clark a little shit before he finally saw the light. Granted, he’s a middle schooler, so some tantrums are inevitable. I enjoyed the friendship with Lex, before his little turn as well. Clark’s parents were wonderful, which kinda made it a wee bit impossible to believe Clark’s attitude. Overall, this is the start of a series, so a few stumbles are expected. It might just be worth it to see how it continues to improve.
**Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read an advanced copy of this story.**

Note: I received access to read this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Clark and Lex explores a budding friendship between Clark Kent and Lex Luthor as kids recruited to a special contest. What follows had me questioning the personality of Clark and the missed opportunity of showing an actual turn within Lex. He just inexplicably becomes bad. The artwork didn't knock my socks off either. This one was just a swing and a miss for me.
