    This issue is really funny in places, but it's also very emotional. Grace seems to be taking the lead on Jon Kent's development lately, and I hope this continues into a new solo series down the line. Read Full Review

    Jon Kent hasn't been relevant since Brian Michael Bendis aged him up in Superman #6 (2018). He's unable to carry his own series, and has become a tag-a-long character with the Super-family. With that move, Bendis eliminated all the potential for stories of Superman and Lois raising their biological son, an idea that was unique, different and fresh for the Superman franchise. In addition, he had Jon unbelievably pass through puberty and those important formative years without any guidance and produced a Jon Kent with perfect morality and a social conscience.

    When your whole book is just a way to troll a group of fans maybe you are a hack writer

    This was probably the worst written, worst drawn comic book published by one of the big two I have ever read. Who hires these incompetent people?
