Story: There appears to be another Clark Kent, and of course
it bugs Lois Lane she has no idea where this “dobbleclark” came from but she
won’t rest until she discovers what. The DobbleClark finds out about Lois’ son
and a man who looks like him. Next thing we know Jon Kent is disappears and the
only suspect they have is the other Clark. Young Jon finds himself is a strange
place he was put there by “Rubbletat” the funny guy his parents told him
stories about, he was given that name because he could not pronounce Purple Hat
or Mr. Mxyzptlk. Mr. Mxyzptlk has gone quite insane, no longer is he the
annoying but funny pest that would occasionally visit Superman and Lois Lane.
Upon his arrival to this world he was impnapped and imprisoned. He was positive
Superman would come rescue him but he never did. Mxyz managed to escape but in
order to hide himself from his jailor he cast a spell to turn him into Clark
Kent and everything was good until Lois stopped playing, now he has Jon. Superman and Lois are losing their memories of Jon unless they can get him back
from Mxyz. Too bad Mxyz stopped playing fair.
Art: The art was good it wasn’t consistent at parts with the
artist change but other than that they all did a fantastic job. 
Review: I enjoyed it. I prefer Superman and Lois Lane together so much more than Superman and Wonder Woman, to me it’s always been about Lois and Clark. This is basically the story arc that explains Rebirth. When Mxyzptlk did what he did and Jon does what he does it merges two of the time lines into one. I liked some of the little details they put in like Mxyz knowing about the other realities; Lego universe, The Animated series, the toys ect. that was a nice touch. When he explains what happened you want to feel sorry for him but at the same time he's being a worse villain than he ever was before. I don't know much about Jon, I haven't read much with him in it but so far I like him. I am excited to see where this path is leading the Kents and this new Rebirth timeline.
