The book is just delayed. Happens all the time. They maybe had a scheduling conflict, or a creative team change.

It's really sad. I actually feel sorry for the OP. He's letting his irrational hatred over a relatively small aspect close himself off to some good comics. It's as bad as the people who were (and still likely are) refusing to read Superman comics because he doesn't have his trunks anymore. I absolutely disliked the initial Jim Lee design for the New 52 Superman costume,but that didn't stop me from buying and enjoying Grant Morrison's run and various Superman comics over the last 5 years. I didn't care for the Superman/Wonder Woman 'ship',but that didn't stop me from reading that title and appreciating the good parts of it when the book was genuinely well written. When it got to the point where the material didn't appeal to me anymore or made me upset. (TRUTH) I stated my displeasure rationally in a few posts, and quietly just dropped the books and did what most rational adults do in such a situation. I moved on. I didn't go on a 6 month long temper tantrum. I didn't gloat over the dipping sales and go out of my way to antagonize those who disagreed. I just didn't read or directly comment on the books I had no interest in and lived my life.
When it comes to comics,one person's "fan-service" is another persons personal cannon. So by definition it's ALL fan service. Aren't we ALL fans?
SUPERMAN is the greatest fictional character ever created.
Threads like this confuse me. Before Rebirth, all you read on these boards was how terrible New 52 Superman was and how they needed to bring the REAL Superman back. So now they have gotten rid of New 52 Superman and brought the prior one back, and now all you hear about on here is how he is a "fake" Superman and how much people want the "real" (previously hated New 52) Superman back. WTF?!?
That opening post is just... ugh, so sour.
As long as Jorge Jimenez is still doing the art when Super Sons finally comes out, then I will be happy.
My hope is that DC just wanted to give him more time to get more pages in the can.
I agree. I freely admit that I was not happy about the New 52 and the reboot to Superman. Though I decided to give New 52 Superman a shot and I'm glad I did. There were things I didn't like about it, like the WW ship or look of the new suit. Though I'm glad I gave it a chance as there are some good stories in there. Morrison's origin is one example. I would have missed out on that if I hadn't given the relaunch a fair shot. I enjoyed reading Superman both before and after the New 52 started. People are always complaining about getting the same old thing over and over again. Now we have some new ideas in the books and some really good storytelling and some people are still complaining. We have Superman as a father, a new take on the outsider concept, a Superboy with a direct legacy that come from Superman, Lex trying to be Superman and it's all fun. Yet I constantly have to read about how Superman comics are just retreading old ground now that the New 52 Superman is gone. He's a harsh truth, New 52 Superman was just a rehash too. We got a retelling of his origin, a reversion to Pre-Crisis Kents being dead, the first time he met X,Y and Z villains and so on. There are some new ideas in there, but New 52 Superman was simply more of the same old Superman we've had for decades. That's ok. It's one of the reasons I like the guy, he's still Superman. There is a lot to be said for that. Really though, read the books and decide if you like them, not the other way around. If you give them a fair shot and don't like them, cool. You gave it an honest chance. If you do like them, enjoy them. Routing for one version to fail and constantly ranting about it is juvenile though. This new direction for Superman didn't ruin the character or disrespect what came before it.
Like you, if I loose interest in a book I just stop reading it. I don't bash other people for enjoying it or hope it fails. Plenty of other things to read. This is entertainment after all. It's supposed to be fun.

As long as men thrill to daring deeds...as long as they dream of high adventure and the throwing-off of the shackles of mortal limitations...the original Superman who burst upon a startled world in 1938 will live. And that, hopefully, will be a very long time indeed.

There is a difference between "delayed until 2017" and "cancelled". Nothing in that announcement indicates the book is cancelled at all. I believe you are seeing only what you want to see here because of your professed hatred for Jon and family. I find that sad and your rants are only making you look like a child having a tantrum because a favorite toy was taken away. I sympathise with you because I've felt the same in the past about certain characters but with every post you make that becomes more difficult to do and it reflects badly on the other N52 Superman fans as well. I'm sure that's not your intent but there it is. Give it a rest. Find something else to enjoy for now until the Superman books are more to your liking again. That's really all anyone can do.

Supporting LION FORGE COMICS and other independent publishers.
Check out Lion Forge's Catalyst Prime Universe. Its the best damned superhero verse in comics. Diverse characters and interesting stories set in a universe where anyone can be a hero. And company that prides itself on representation both in the comics themselves and in the people behind them.
Oh my goodness gracious! I've been bamboozled!

Look I as well as many other understand what the OP is going through. I'm a big Nuperman fan. The whole situation has left me really bitter so I dropped the Super titles altogether. I thought I could continue with the new rebirth titles and tried some, but I just couldn't deal with it. I suggest you do the same if you haven't already. You only make you and the rest of us Nuperman fans seem blind, stubborn, and petulant. What are you trying to achieve here? You're angry. I am too. You conveyed your frustration. Fine. But to continue going on this path is pointless. People will continue reading, ignore you, life goes on. There are better things to do than this. Why not be productive? Check out some other titles. Create some stories of your own or some art. You can share that with some us here. Just let it go man.
Super sons hasn't been canceled, people actually like Jon, and as said on the last page, stop acting like a spoiled child throwing a temper tantrum, it doesn't do you anything good.

I do have opinions on posts I read but I don't see why anyone has to make an insulting remark.
This book has pretty solid hype and in general the line is about as steady as it gets. Sorry Crab.
Get over it. New 52 Superman is dead and he is not coming back.

That thread title is just plain trolling. C'mon SuperCrab, I used to like your posts.
