Superman circles the globe offering his help to various members of the Justice League, with each happily accepting except for Batman...because what else would Batman do? Realizing he's been saving people all night, he hurries home to Hamilton and tags along to the county fair with Lois and Jon. They walk around and take in the sites of everything the country folks of Hamilton have to offer and Clark promises... no superhero-ing.
Jon runs into Kathy, a local girl who helped him after he had a nasty spill in a previous issue. Her grandfather and her are entering one of their cows in the blue ribbon contest, and thanks to a little convincing, Lois assures her that Jon would love to watch the judging. Unfortunately though for the citizens of this small town hamlet, some local thieves set their sites on the cash box in the ticket booth. After getting Jon a little exposure at the science fair, and watching Kathy win the cow show deal, Clark overhears the bad guys planning their heist. He claims to have a case of lactose intolerance which of course Lois sees through, and excuses himself.
He makes it back in time to hop on the roller coaster with the fam, and as it's going up, word about how a superhero in a medieval suit foiled a robbery manages to get out. Lois looks at Clark coyly, and up up and away they go.
Every comic book character needs a little downtime. In my opinion, not enough books focus on their subjects getting some r&r. It helps humanize them and frankly, some of my favorite stories are seeing how they relax. Not much action but good story and art. I give it an 8/10.
