The faces are familiar, but the situation is a nightmare. Jon Kent finds himself on an Earth where his friends and loved ones are at war--a place where his personal heroes fight each other for control of the world. What will he do when he discovers that this world's version of his father, Clark Kent, is on the verge of becoming a dictator?

    This is an incredible story: a snapshot of a world that is a fun if desperate place to visit. Let's hope Jon survives the experience! Read Full Review

    The story is great, but one of the real strengths this issue is guest artist Darick Robertson. He's a perfect choice for an Injustice-set story, as that world shares a lot of similarities with the world Robertson helped create with Garth Ennis. His style helps to jack up the tension as we get closer to Jon having to pick a sideand likely, to make his daring escape from a world ruled by an evil Superman. Read Full Review

    Even in spite of the negatives,Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent#4 continues to astound. The story is clearly building to something that can really define Jon's character. For a character who skipped his earliest years of development, the Injustice setting could be a great place for Jon to uncover the truth about who Superman is. If ever someone could save this unpredictable universe, it may be a teenager with a strong moral code and a deep-seated love for his friends. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge Jun 21, 2023

    This is a pretty good issue that works on exploring more of the setting and relationships that exist so Jon can understand this world more. I do understand his need to try and help and fix things here and it is part of superhero stuff in general, but at the same time, it's like, you want to fundamentally change a world. That's not exactly the best thing to do based on a couple of days of understanding. He does at least work at it by asking questions more than anything else and isn't trying to start a conflict because you can see how he just wants to talk to the Superman of this world and try to change his mind. It's a solid setup with some mild complications brought in that work well. This issue was also a lot of fun since it has Robertson and Rapmund on the artwork and they were one of my favorite pairings during the old digital-first days with the weekly books. Read Full Review

    This issue lacked that sense of racing against the clock and much sense that Jon is in a rush to save this world before returning to his Earth, but it sets up what should be an interesting next issue. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jun 6, 2023

    Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #4 serves as an excellent primer that explains to Jon Kent how Injustice Earth came to be in its current state. That said, this issue is almost all exposition, the plot hasn't quite come together, Jon Kent is barely a participant in his own min-series, and the information only holds your attention if you know nothing about the previous Injustice stories. With two issues left, it's hard to imagine this mini will end well when it hasn't even started. Read Full Review

    Jon Kent continues to tour the world of "Injustice" and inform readers about this very popular alternate reality in a fashion that will be repetitive for those already familiar and direct, but dull for those who may not be. Read Full Review
