NGL, I'm really not a fan of the Guardians of the Globe scene being in episode one. It happens in like issue 8 and is after a lot of what's covered in these first few episodes. The reveal of Nolan being the killer just hits a lot harder after having spent several issues with him as a "normal" Superman pastiche.
I'm not sure where I sit on his personality change either. From what I remember of the first few issues, he's pretty normal until the reveal. Here, he's acting like way more of an ass than I remember, although I could just be misremembering.
I can see why he's acting the way he does, and it's not much of an issue because the twist already happened, but I prefer how he acted pretty normally until Mark finds out.
