The first half is great (5 stars), but then you get a six (6!) issues arc with Bizarro, and it all goes down. And because it lost all steam. you dont really get to enjoy or even care about the final issues.
First half of book with Jeff Lemire was well written. It dropped in quality with second half as the second writer didn't have the same dynamic and dragged on his stories that could have been complete in 2 issues rather than 5 or 6. You could tell he was new, and DC just placed him on an ongoing book without assistance.
