Project Superman ... WTF?

As you may or may not have heard DC comics is restarting 52 different series including Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern. The fore runners to the new series are in issues called Flashpoint. Now, I have been only following the Project Superman Flashpoint. Wow, so that is it huh? The comics art "sucks", and the storyline is very difficult to follow, past the simple premise. The baby from Kryton ends up crashing in the middle of Metropolis instead of Smallville, and is raised in a secret military installation. Heavy bloody violence. Again, the art was absolutely horrible.
Painfully so. Chimps crapping on illustration board, and playing with the crap like finger paints probably could have created better illustrations. Well, I have purchased about a forth of the new books coming out Superman included. I hope, I hope that DC makes the best of this, but I fear the smell of quick opportunism of publicity driven 1st issues. We could be looking at DC Comics end of days.
