You certainly get the sense that Brian Michael Bendis is having a lot of fun writing Superman.
This issue is almost entirely given over to Clark and Lois' son Jon - Superboy - as he tries to decide whether or not to accept a membership offer from the team from the future: the Legion of Super-Heroes.
In need of advice, he turns to his best friend - Bruce Wayne's son Damian (Robin).
Their exchanges and discussion are a lot of fun as they adjust to Jon's new, older and taller appearance (Jon was aged during some spacefaring adventures) - but their friendship shines through. It makes for a good-hearted and touching encounter between friends (and sometimes rivals).
Bendis is setting up lots of future stories here, and clearing the way for Lois and Clark to explore more personal stories.
It makes for an important turning point in the lives of all the characters involved, and a fun story.
