You knew it would come from somewhere, and you probably knew it would come from me, so I'll just say it now:

I like this. I like this quite a bit. Very good chance I like this better than anything that's been done with him since his introduction. Teen Jon calling Superman Pa? Works. Teen Jon still with some childlike idiosyncrasies? Works. Jon and Clark interaction? Works. The potential sadness we'll get from Clark and Lois, especially Lois, over losing some of their sons years? Intriguing. I just like it.

Only thing that felt off was "boy". The rest of Lois is fine but there always seems to be one "Huh?" moment with her.

I'm glad we're getting Lois' reaction, I was worried they'd keep her relegated to just Action. Good continuity between the books too with her still in "horny mom" mode...until the mood changes (and becomes awkward) when Jon peers over Clark's shoulder.

I agree, she should have said "My Little Boy" and not the Homer Simpson-esque "Boy"

That’s kinda a Bendis quirk isn’t it. She’s probably meant to be saying “my boy” or something but the shock of it has her having trouble getting a full thought out.

Jon definitely has a scar. Right cheek (his right). Can't recall if that's the same spot it was in on that early leaked sketch.

I liked how both Superman and Lois immediately go to a weird colored kryptonite as the culprit in their heads. One of those subtle tastes into how weird their life is being shown.

So, what are they going to do with jon anyway. Since the family seems to have excepted the change. Jon seems to be accepted it. Clark and Lois are ok with it.
A reboot jon does not have anything to build on, i don't think anything in his past will ever be mentioned again or seen again. I doubt aged up jon is sustainable. As kid, there is precedence to sustainability of such characters.
If he is going to be a titan, then i hope it is not the current one. I will have to wait and see whether i like this jon. If he turns out be warrior like character then maybe. It will be major turn of to see clark as mentor to 17 year old war veteran. So i hope they don't do that. And have jon move out.

I'm glad this is the approach Bendis is taking with this storyline, immediately show that Jon is still a good guy. Though I'm not looking forward to the emotion Clark and Lois will be going through knowing they missed years of Jon's life. So excited for these flashbacks and to see just how insane Jor-El is.

[Sacred Knight]

I'm not so sure he's going to be all that bad. Eccentric yes, but I don't want him to be played off as an insane tool. Someone whom certainly has gone the rounds with Jon in their time together and don't always see eye to eye but not someone whom Jon can't stand. At least that's the way I'd vastly prefer it to play out. Jor-El still alive in current continuity isn't something I prefer, but as long as he I strongly hope he defaults more to a protagonist role and not an antagonist. And particularly that Superman himself will ease up on an obvious anger toward him at first over all this.

I don't hate this Jon. I'm not happy he's older but I can find a way to live with it if Bendis can rise above his failings. He still sounds the same except for that "Pa", which I thought was sweet. I love that he was as eager to reunite with his folks as they were. The hug he gave Superman when he asked about his mother was heart warming, both hugs in fact. I hope Bendis doesn't screw this up.

It's curious that they are officially meeting in a public place, upping the tabloid fodder. I'll have to wait and see if something will come of this. Bendis better not screw this up...again.

Bendis probably played God of War too much.
