Some thoughts:
(1) After a lengthy hiatus from DC Comics, I've reluctantly dragged myself back. I needed time to heal after my last few "Aquaman" books broke me.
(2) In deciding what series to read next, I was inspired by a recent private group chat, where we discussed our favorite Superman-related songs. I nominated "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down.

When I see Dan Jurgens on the cover of anything I automatically think "safe pair of hands," Superman especially. Things might get a bit paint-by-numbers and old-school, but he's good for a very adequate story. That being said, New 52 Superman is supposed to be young and edgy, whereas this Superman reads like a middle-aged guy trying to sound hip.

Some things:
(1) Too many cooks points to creative team disarray.
(2) I'm done with the New 52's obsession with villains with smoking skulls for heads: there's Helspont here, who's skull-head's engulfed in blue flame; there's Mister Toxic, who's skull-face emits red chemical plumes; and Director Bones, who's a literal skeleton that smokes cigars!
