Didio had a man crush on Bendis

Lol, I don't know about that but Bendis sure was like a trojan horse from Marvel, he took one thing that worked and blew it to pieces. He's doing the same now with Justice League. He's even so lazy that instead of writing Naomi vol. 2 he decides to do it here, basically. I'm not going to deny that he used to be something in the industry but right now he's awfully cringe and he doesn't understand it.

What if DC gave Bendus the Naomi book he clearly is solely interested in and got a quality writer for the book readers actually want to read instead of avoid?

I actually think Bendis is the one who wants to write the book this way. He's too lazy to write Naomi vol. 2 and he knows Naomi is not a big enough character to generate sales so he kills two birds with one stone: he writes Naomi inside the JL book which normally sells pretty well. It is DC's fault though that they let him do whatever he wants, he's the only writer who doesn't give a crap about continuity even though his books are not Black Label.

We need more Supersons and Less of Bendis

I've read every Super Sons comic and I can say that I would be completely fine if we got less of both Super Sons and Bendis. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Dave is right. :)

I'm sorry if I'm not keen on D-list stories being bolstered by two characters that fans like being paired together. One of which, it has been made abundantly clear, has no character beyond being tike goody-good Superman and has therefore struggled immensely to gain traction as an older character.

The concept arguably worked within the framework of Tomasi and Gleason's Superman run, not as its own thing. Releasing it digitally in these short chapters also hasn't helped because the pacing has become abysmal. I feel like even if Tomasi wanted to grow these characters or give them something beyond the basics, he'd need more space.

You have a weird reality you live in where we're supposed to judge the character of Jon based on Bendis aging him up and ruining him lol Maybe hold off on judging adult Jon too until Tom Taylor likely hits it out of the park with him. But, back to the actual Jon character in this book... That's what makes Jon so good. He's Superman's son and a perfect contrast to Damian. Damian is angry, cynical, and thinks he's better than everyone. Jon is the opposite.

Err I meant teen Jon.

So, of course a character that skips any character development by time skipping is going to be bad. In fact you can almost full stop at any character being written by Bendis being bad. That's honestly the whole reason it didn't work. He just needed a Superboy on the Legion, so he basically morphed someone else's work and didn't bother spending any actual time on making it a more natural transition. They're honestly different characters in my mind.

I think they're the same character, and that Jon is bland no matter his age. It's perfectly fine to judge the older version of the character even if Bendis wrote him (because... PKJ writes him too, and he had his own books during future state). This younger version is just as much of a nothing character as the older version, it's just that he doesn't need to be anything more in these bland stories.

Maybe Tom Taylor comes in and makes Jon a real boy, but that doesn't make him retroactively good here and elsewhere. I do not get the appeal of these comics, especially this one with its unnecessarily complicated structure and boring, boring plot. I feel like everytime we get one of these, Tomasi is just dusting off rejected Superman/Batman scripts and slightly tweaking them.

What didn’t you like about it

Future State sucks and art is very so-so

Ik I ll say it....Bendis Superman titles were awful. His JL is shaping up to be just as bad or worse. Why is he still at DC?

I support you, when you think it touched the ground, Bendis can show us that it can still dive scratching the surface.

I'm wondering how bad the next one will be, I have full confidence that Bendis can bring the book to an even lower point, next issue Naomi will probably save the day while the Leaguers watch like idiots from the sidelines eating popcorn and staring in awe at her.

Shh Merlyn stop giving spoilers and stealing the drafts of Bendis. LOL.

I bet a lot of talking heads
