Scans: Batman/Superman #1
Batman/Superman #1: Written by Greg PAK; Pencils by Jae LEE
At last, the new team-up with Clark and Bruce has started! Overall my impression is positive: they're intensely distrustful and hostile at their first meetings (both as Bruce and Clark and as Superman and Batman) but that's fine with me if you're doing a friendship origin story! Jae Lee's art is moody and Gothic and downright surreal--probably not for everyone, but I liked it very much. There's one plot direction I did not like, but that's probably me being a sourpuss and Pak's writing is good enough that I have hopes it won't be a problem in the long run.
It was really hard to limit myself in my choice of pages, they're all quite lovely--I can only encourage you to go buy the whole thing!
