I enjoyed issue 2, but it still feels 'wrong' on so many levels to have Clark become Superboy. The Legion stuff wasn't as offensive as I thought it might be, but it was still largely pointless, other than to set up (or rather, make sense of) Johns' previous arcs involving them.
The Luthor stuff was pretty cool, I guess, although he seems to be more 'smarmy' than hateful.
So far, I just can't really see how Johns is going to pull this together and make it the new 'best' Superman origin ever. So far, it's just a bit of a mess of tributes to previous versions that don't gel well together. There's none of the magic that made 'Man of Steel' or 'Birthright' or even the various other media versions so good.
