For the record, I agree, Nelliebly, it's super dated, and has been one of the nagging issues I've had with their run. I'm personally never too pressed about it because I get that it's just Tomasi and Gleason's personal nostalgia leaking through (admittedly, as a 90s/2000s kid I cringed SUPER hard at everything coming from Clark's mouth). One could concoct an explanation about Jon and Martha showing Clark all that old stuff if one was real, real pressed about it. When I read it it just turns into white noise before I get on with the issue. Even though I don't agree at all with the severity of your reaction, Nelliebly, I don't think it should've been so backhandedly dismissed as it was in this thread. That was lame of them to do that the way they did it.
Anyways, I'm actually pretty into this issue as a whole because its high concept, apparent speed, and 80s kid monster movie vibe that happens to star Superman and Superboy. It all has a nice bounce to it, and I'm sure that's largely because Tomasi and Gleason are writing pretty much unfettered as of this arc. I'm willing to take some of their bad habits in exchange for an arc that's super passionate and fun. It's only like 2 or 3 more issues to go.
But Gleason's art is probably where I focused most of my attention. And I'm starting to see where Bendis might be coming from with putting him on a more grounded book.
