I wasn't initially a fan of the exaggerated, bumbling Kent, just because in my mind I prefer Clark Kent to be closer to the "true" version of the character. But on subsequent reads it's easier to catch the self-awareness of the character under the surface, and it really does consistently lead to incredible moments. Supes always has to put on a bit of a show for the people at his job, and can only be himself around people he trusts. I think that's pretty real, even if taken to 11.

Admittedly, I haven't read that much Lois Lane, but her characterization here seems kind of...off? That's the best way I would explain it. I don't know if I've ever seen her as paranoid about Superman as she was in that second issue, and I find it kind of annoying that she still questions the Clark Kent thing two issues into her being told.

She feels off in the second issue because of paranoia plot decice, but other than that I think it's pretty true to her character as a skeptic. Modern Lois has been in on it for years, but for a Lois who spent years failing to prove it and just found it, it be more strange if she did just immediately accept it.
