The Ordway art is pretty good in the pages I've seen. Miles above his last JSA arc art. He must have gotten a good inker?
Also on Superboy-Prime. I'm not sure what Johns is thinking when he writes S-P (and it has, with the exception of Countdown, been almost all Johns on the character). On one hand, it was GJ who turned the heroic boy from COIE who sacrificed everything to save others into a whining obnoxious mass-murdering fanboy parody (sometimes I think Johns wants S-P to be to him what Animal Man is to Morrison - a way to get meta with the readers) but at other times like the Annual during the Sinestro Corps that featured things from Prime's point of view he comes off somewhat sympathetic, he's just a kid with chip on his shoulder and powers 10x that of New Earth Supes.
Personally, I have a soft spot for S-P just because Johns has made him into such a straw man. Sort of in backlash of how he's been treated. I don't think I'm the only one.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
