Superman/Batman #46

"Superman/Batman" of late had lost some of its luster. I read the early TPBs and was impressed by the title, but the last year hasn't captured my attention. However, with the addition of the new creative team of writer Michael Green and artist Shane Davis, the title has returned to the light. "The Search for Kryptonite" arc has been a fun read. This title should involve stories that require both Batman and Superman to solve the problem at hand. Here we have an issue that requires both the brains and resources of Batman and the brawn of Superman. Grean, with an assist from Mike Johnson, does a fantastic job of amping up the thrills as Superman goes after every last chunk of Kryptonite on the Earth. I like the new Magic-K that is discovered in this issue and Davis'cartoon JLA is quite funny. Across the board, Davis' art is outstanding.

I see that this creative team is onboard for at least the next few issues. I hope that DC can keep them on long term as Green and Johnson on writing and Davis and Banning on art makes for a great read.
