    See, I was the exact opposite I thought the Jimmy story was pretty solid but could have been better if it were longer while I felt the second feature with yoda-lite was a little muddled.

    After finally getting it, for me it's an average between two good stories rather than a better part

    It works for Jon because he's a growing kid and doesn't have the responsibility of being a grown adult with an example to set for his child. If this was a golden age or early career Superman, he absolutely could get away with being more brash. Having a ten year-old son and being established as Earth's champion? Yeah, no. I'd prefer we didn't get rude, manchild Superman.

    Just me. Different strokes for different folks.
    Superman #293 was an excellent comic despite the old cover trick though.

    Has this book been any good? I do love Venditti's Hawkman and X-O Manowar. Might read this in trade later on...

    I've enjoyed the Venditti run on Man of Tomorrow. The stories were pretty basic but they were fun, engaging and universally accessible to every type of reader. I also enjoyed last week's issue which had 2 different stories by the same writer. The Jimmy one was slightly predictable but highlighted Jimmy's resourcefulness and integrity and the second story dealt with Superman's powers in a fascinating way. Wioska almost reminded me of the Supreme Kai from Dragon Ball.

    They're backup stories, I assume from Superman Giant vol 2 #1 and #2.

    These haven’t been in print yet. Only the first three 100 page giants have come out yet, which was released digitally as 1-3. 4-6 and these two issues of shorter stories are digital first.

    Superman: Man of Tomorrow #9 Preview: https://comic-watch.com/news/news-wa...-of-tomorrow-9

    Both stories are written by Jeff Parker. First one is about some underground creatures attacking a mine and the second has Brainiac unleash a monster on Portland airport.

    Huh. I thought the Giants had two or three new stories. Superman must be the only one that doesn't.

    Just read Van Jensen’s stories, I liked both of them! Wouldn’t mind seeing more Superman work from him. One thing I really like about this book is how many writers have been leaning into the journalism angle.

    It’s not the Parker run on the mainline books I want, but I’ll take it.

    Edit: Just read the previous issue before that. The first one was cliche, I guessed the twist the moment I saw the Twitch hero, gorgeous art though. The one by Dave Wielgosz though was great! I loved the training arc, but I particularly loved the analytics about Superman’s powers:

    Felt like a nice counterargument to the “absolute power corrupts absolutely” cliche.

    Van Jensen did some nice work, he and Venditti leaned heavily on the use of journalism in their stories which was a nice change of pace. I wouldn't mind more Superman work from either of them.

    I know you've been after a Jeff Parker run on Superman so I was expecting a comment from you about this. They look pretty good, normally I wait for some opinions and reviews to come out before I buy a digital issue but for Parker I know the writing will be good so it's a guaranteed early purchase.

    Toriyama stole Superman's origin for Dragon Ball Minus and the Broly movie so it's only fair for Superman to steal something back.

    Parker’s stuff was a fun Brainiac two-parter. One idea that I think should definitely make its way over to the main books, is that Brainiac gets a reason to keep coming back to Earth: Using Earth as a place to test out his experiments. It lets you have Brainiac vs. Superman stories without it necessarily needing to be a planet wide threat.

    Training =/=goku. Superman used to workout in goldenage age. Besides that, how the training is portayed is the judge of quality.I don't know why people have a problem with superman's muscles being real,than hot air. The sun explanation has always undermined the physicality of the character.
