That's because Superman doesn't seem "right" when he's not in love with Lois Lane (or Lana Lang or another "LL" alternative).
There's also the conflict between Diana's myth-based origins and Clark's science fiction-based background - it makes for an odd match.
This series is addressing the romance (and, in fact, hints that the two have gone beyond just smooching), and throws in a bit of superhero action along the way.
This is the only place outside of her own comic that we see a Wonder Woman who is rooted in the same realm of horror and myth - and that's probably a good thing.
The issue is written by Charles Soule, and it's a good effort, somewhat redeemed by the shocking final panel.
The art is by Tony Daniels, who turns in excellent work, with powerful layouts and strong character designs.
It's a little too early to tell if this series is going to work - it's off to a good start - but I still think the two leads make an odd couple.
Grade: B+

Clark Kent would never be in a relationship with Wonder Woman, so neither would Superman. Supes works best when the written as a "regular" guy with super powers, NOT as a "god among us."
Dwayne, I agree. It's the old question about which one is "real" - Superman or Clark. I prefer the idea that he's Clark, and Superman is the disguise.
