Seems like Conner being raised on the Kent farm was still a thing...maybe? Either that or they're just treating farming as an "in the blood" thing (as in his Superman blood).

Bart seems like a good fit for Bendis' writing style, if only because his teen heroes are generally motormouths who talk too much.

Love the attention to detail. Top right of pg 4 shows Tim and Amethyst crashing into WG and the rest. As long as Conner keeps that hair cut, he can keep the 90s hair.

Don't know why Conner gave up buut he better snap out of it because I don't need that suicidal New 52 Kon act here.

Well... does he even has his super-power here ? I mean, does Gemworld even has a sun ? ANd a yellow one if it has ? Isn't it possible that here, Conner is powerless ?

That’s one possibility yes. I just hope they don’t re try that whole depressed weapon angle again. I am interested to see how they answer all these questions about Kon. I’m betting that he and YJ4 have their complete Pre FP history intact and nothing from New 52 till Pre YJ #1 is canon


Also, the preview site lists the book being released Next week but the actual date is for tomorrow.

Based on the way the shot where Bart and Conner embrace on page one (the sun is red), and Conner hitting the monster on the last page (the sun is yellow), I'd say Gemworld has a sun, but it's red.

I think the fact that Bart comments on the fact that Conner is growing facial hair (issue 1) is a clue. In pre-crisis Kryptonians couldn't grow their hair or nails under a yellow sun. This changed with the post-crisis reboot, but after a while it was put into question. Given the fact that Bendis said "Clark goes undercover in issue #1010 of ACTION COMICS. He grows facial hair by flexing his jaw muscles. I am not lying!Undercover Clark's name is Chaz and he looks exactly like Bradley Cooper in AMERICAN HUSTLE. Lois loves Chaz." I'd say he may be the type to employ such a characteristic.

You heard it here first

Well seen for the suns, I hadn't even seen them when I read the preview the first time !

I think that Bendis won't totally erase the New 52 version of the TT. At some point, I think Young Justice will confront them. It's just too perfect a storyline to not be used by him, really.

After all, Bendis introduced the idea that the Crisis not only happened but are actually a series of seven historical moment of the DCU history, instead of reboots or quasi-reboots. I can see him playing with the impact of those crises both at an external level (the current arc) and then internal level (facing down "echoes" or twisted versions of themselves).

Is 90's Conner college age? Looks good though, I like the stubble.

If the first Crisis still happened then how would that explain Supergirl still being alive and younger?

I don't think Pre FP history of YJ4 history will be intact.

I mean Conner couldn't live with with Ma and Pa Kent in the current continuity, since they died before Conner's creation.

Not to mention that Cassie mantain the Zeus as grandfather origin.

[Kuwagaton]

Yellow sun? I don't so much mind the Johns origin, but I'll be disappointed if he has generic powers instead of TTK to boot. Basically, I'd be disappointed if this is just the Lemire version in a 90s get up.

She died and I guess was then "not-dead" because of a subsequent crisis ? It hasn't been fully explained by Bendis how the peoples of Opal and Earth know about the Seven Crises.

Well, there is a cover of YJ where Conner uses heat vision, so he has Kryptonian powers.

I was also wondering about TTK. I don't know if Bendis will mantain this power.

[Kuwagaton]

I don't know if it's too much to ask of Bendis to actually have Kon at the matured state of having both rather than just Kryptonian. He was supposed to develop those sun based powers regardless, but it the pre flashpoint version abandoned all that iirc
