Fiumara! So here we go with the change of pace. Weird Jon isn't jumping into this one.

Giving Superman horror story arcs seems to have become a new trend since the New 52, not that I'm objecting or anything like that.

Oh! I totally forgot that this was where he ran into the psychedelic moose.

A girl's grandfather and cow have mysteriously disappeared, of course Jon is hesitant in jumping in. hell, I wouldn't blame Clark either if he ends up involved.

Maybe it's just me but if I was watching horror flicks and someone suddenly interrupts and asks me to go to a creepy place called Deadman's Swamp in the dead of night, I won't be jumping at the opportunity, either.

I'm personally happy I live in a suburban area, no swamps over here.

this is why superheroes shouldn't watch horror movies. One jumpscare and you might burn down the house.

Love slice of life issues like this. Tbh, I hope Tomai and Gleason write a solo series with nothing but Jon and Kathy's adventures.

I'm getting a Stranger Things vibe from this...

My thoughts, exactly. But I guess Stranger Things was giving an E.T. vibe with the kids riding bikes and the small town thing. But all that stuff is pitch-perfect for a Superman story, too. In fact, it was pretty good when Pak gave us the super sci-fi horror New 52 Ultrahumanite, and it was pretty good as well when Jeff Lemire gave us the weird Smallville horror stuff in his Conner Superboy run. I love this kind of stuff!

Great art. Great "slice of life" in the increasingly interesting life of the last grandson of Krypton.

Thinking about tenporarily unsubscribing again for this. Is this whole issue/arc going to just feature Jon and his friend? He's got his own book now, why not put it there? I read Superman books for adult stories featuring Superman (Not that I consider SuperDad the real Superman, but I'm hoping Reborn fixes that).

Filler issue/one-shot. Reborn starts with issue #18.

I'm in. I understand the "In a Superman title I want Superman" idea, but one, Superman will surely show up, and two, I'm from the 90s, I'm used to interludes.

Yep. In fact I have missed the occasional interludes that serve to enrich the world Superman exists in. Why not have an issue here and there where the supporting cast takes center stage. Why not have say, a Jimmy and Perry adventure. Or Bibbo regailing Jon with tall tales of his favrit Etc. With both books double shipping, there is 48 issues a year. 80 pages a month 4 years worth of page count for most other characters per year. There's room to do these sorts of things.
