Superman: son of Kal-El

[Journey]

I support the #NoCape agenda but who on DC can write Jon as a fashion columnist well?


Devil Wears Prada, Sex in the City, Ugly Betty, and The Bold Type have made me have high expectations for anything involving characters who work for fashion magazines.

Look if those Marvel writers can do a whole Met Gala inspired event for months! Their has to be someone in that writers room who can turn Jon into a fashion icon!! Bring back Ryan Sook for art!

the real problem with this is that there is now a 0 chance he'll ever get de-aged and a super sons book return. what a waste for stunt sales boost and a decline like bendis revealing clark's identity

Doubtful Damien and Jon will most definitely get a comic when their movie/show whatever it is comes out DC is better at Synergy than Marvel in that regard.

The only reason I don't think it's going to be the Century baby thing is because he already is the hybrid of a human and a Kryptonian. I just don't see them playing that up and more likely, if they are going tragic romance route, then it becomes not only is Jay his first boyfriend but the first he has sex with. Thus making it into drama for drama sake.



Exactly. This is why Jon being a younger teen would work so much better in this story.

Yes we are on the same wave length.

Gonna call it:

Jay and Jon sleep together
They're a couple for a while.
Jay ends up fighting with him over something
Jay ends up joining the other side
Jon has his Magento where they constantly have a will they won't they bat/cat dynamic.

Rinse and repeat till someone comes up with a new character or Supersons and Kid Jon becomes more favorite which leads to de aging closer to Damian's age.

Which either leads to new teen titans, where they become friends again, or someone eventually has them become a couple, because of reasons if they go that route.

You seem to think that Jon's book will be around long enough for that to happen. It's already tanking in sales, and I don't see that changing, apart from maybe a small spike for issue 5. Not as many people are as happy and excited about this change as people here think.

Still the best selling Superman related book on stands right now though. Even beating out Morrison's swan song, and well beyond Clark's main book, Action. If issue 5 bumps it then it'll be a bump to a book that's already doing better than the other Superman books. And knowing Taylor we're likely to see more "you won't want to miss this issue" style bumps down the road. If that keeps up along with it baseline selling better than Action, I don't see how DC throws it out.

Action is doing really awful, but I dont think Jon book will stay afloat of 30k if 2nd issue is already on 40k. Taylor will need much more than outing Jon to keep sales going up

Nah, Clark works better with he Kent's dead.

I disagree. I don't think having them around is does any more or less for him than them being alive does. That said, I just hate the orphan hero stereotype. It feels like superheroes aren't allowed to have parents unless they're also superheroes. Or supervillains. Superman's got two perfectly good parents whose existence takes nothing away from him. Let him keep them. At the very least keep one of them alive.

Good pic of me watching Taylor restore them to their graves they belong in.

Not much of troupe when the guy was the first one to do it...Supes had dead parents before batman or spiderman was a thing.Solitude..Clark needs solitude.
I propose a compromise..kents die and become ghosts..Now,they can actually do supernatural shit and keep up with clark..
