Terry Sloan has gained immense power but that might not be enough to save him and Lois can't help but use this situation to start reminiscing the past.
I was ready to call this issue not so terrible but I changed my mind at the end.
There's a heavy focus on Lois this time and it's not a bad story per se. There are some interesting moments about how she felt that she has lost her humanity and is trying to regain it by connecting to people. It's an overuse plot-point but one that works for the most part.
The problem is Wilson's usual problems like the pacing, it's quite chaotic and there isn't appropriate transition between scene and scene nor time to time. The story keeps jumping from present to past and viceversa that will most certainly make new readers confused.
The worst came at the last page though.
Terry Sloan, one of the most interesting and promising characters from Earth 2 initially has apparently died in one of the most uninspired and unnecessary ways. The worst part is how he devolved from serious antihero to crazy egomaniac in the whole time that Wilson has been writing him. It's simply a terrible ending for him.
Jorge Jimenez is still handing art duties and his work can look good at times but doesn't really make the execution of the story any better. It's pretty messy.
This is still a failure in execution, the book needs a new writer to save it.
