#superman #jonkent #loislane How idiotic must Kaminski and his cadre of deficient DC editors be to publish Superman: The Wedding Album and attempt some kind of nostalgic emotional moment with aged up Jon Kent? Jon- a child abandoned by Clark/Lois, sent into the galaxy alone with a super-villain at 11, taken hostage and traumatized? Yes, great storytelling by DC imbeciles, “let’s look back…” How remarkably stupid can one publishing company be? And, how idiotic is the comic consuming lemmings, paying $6.99??

This is an excellent opinion, and one I agree with. What I find ironic is that, even as Jor-El sent Kal/Clark to Earth to survive in the origin story, DC editors and Bendis allowed Clark to send his 11 year old son Jon Kent away from Earth accompanied by a super-villain. Instead of “survival,” Clark was written/edited as the ultimate dead-beat father, voluntarily sending his child away from safety to be sacrificed… kidnapped, held hostage, terrified and abused. So- you have the best Jor-El, and the very worst father, Kal-El. Thanks to DC editorial stupidity.

No- if the age up of Jon Kent is the nadir of DC comics over the past 8 years, the One More Day debacle is the greatest failure in comics as a whole of the past 20. One More Day was demonstrated proof to fans that love comics that editors hold them in contempt.

There is no integrity in the @ProFootballHOF voting process. Fans cannot trust voters. Fans cannot trust the staff from the Hall. Hard lessons learned from last year’s festival of incompetence around votes and inductees.

Incorrect. It would have been fitting to have Belichick go in as a first ballot entry, instead of voter partisan incompetence and a HoF intestinal fortitude deficiency creating the sad festival of failure every fan witnessed. I do not trust the Hall- zero integrity.

The @ProFootballHOF can’t be trusted. HoF voters can’t be trusted. Lessons learned from the last “voting” process- integrity is not core to the HoF, it’s just a word they use. Sometimes.

The poorly done “Jon Kent: Nobody Likes This Webtoon.”

#jonkent As Samuel Johnson said, “A dullness in apprehension.” That describes the Superman editorial team, and DC Comics leadership. “[They] that voluntarily continues in ignorance [are] guilty of all crimes which ignorance produces."

If only some executive with a modicum of competence had a summit at DC Comics, requiring a minimum level of professional skill from editors, a list of long-standing problems to be resolved (including the Jon Kent age reversion, the end of idiotic deconstructionist plots, etc) and a recommitment to providing the best quality comics (via print/digital) that people can afford around the world.

#PatrickStewart “A good man never dies--   In worthy deed and prayer And helpful hands, and honest eyes,   If smiles or tears be there: Who lives for you and me--   Lives for the world he tries To help--he lives eternally.   A good man never dies. Who lives to bravely take   His share of toil and stress, And, for his weaker fellows' sake,   Makes every burden less,-- He may, at last, seem worn--   Lie fallen--hands and eyes Folded--yet, though we mourn and mourn,   A good man never dies.” — Riley

Post-sports read. Wrightson’s art- composition, action, inventiveness- just incredible.

The failure is in interpreting this as “a solid issue.” It was not. Only a shallow few would read Superman Unlimited 18 and come away with any impression like it was a good comic. It was not.

Apologies- as soon as this was written, “…This leads Jon on a mission of self discovery as he continues to deal with the idea of what it means to be the Son of Superman… it’s nice to see Jon take a moment to self reflect as so much has happened to him…” this review failed. As fans, we’ve all “discovered” what aged up Jon Kent is: a massive failure, only made interesting when DC entices the paying audience with age reversion. No glazing of Dan Slott changes the history of the aged up character, the fundamental weakness and lack of everything that gives a characterization life. The script here is terrible, the plot concept that “oh, Jon tried all these activities” is a pathetic and unsuccessful drag. True review: the only excellence here is the Meyer art. Avoid Superman Unlimited as a title.

It is unfortunate that @thechrisanton has blocked debate on the Superman Unlimited title. I appreciate his passion for comics-such deep engagement is not matched by deep perception. We both agree, Meyers art is excellent- that is where, I guess, Chris’s accuracy as a pundit ends.

Just…badly done. DC editors are supposed to understand canon and continuity- that doesn’t happen with incompetent Kaminski. For $6.99(!) you get fake aged up Jon Kent and terrible parent Lois, comfortably nostalgic, ignoring how Lois/Clark abandoned young Jon, leading ultimately to his kidnapping and artificial aging: the WOrST part of their “beautiful 30 years together.” Poorly conceived. Terribly written. Incompetently edited (that is expected). @Skydance , stop publishing inferior, insulting product at an inflated price.

Not really. There’s a fake, aged up character called Tomorrow Stiff- but, if the title writer is intelligent, that character will be swiftly dropped.

No, you don’t. You were omnipotent, and didn’t act to de-age your son. You didn’t bring Ultraman to justice after he held your son hostage in a volcano. You’ve done nothing to save Ultraboy, another hostage. When Jon was 11, you were inexplicably stupid enough to let him travel alone with a super-villain. And, you lost him. You left your entire adopted world in crisis to go save a different one- then, you brought home two children and ignored them, too. Your “heart to heart” talks suck, you terrible parent.

I appreciate your opinion. He’s not getting good writing. Nor, editing. Unless you consider Slott/Kaminski revealing yet another child held hostage in a volcano, purely to bait/switch the Reign of Superboys audience. There is no redemption for older Jon, unfortunately.

#superman #jonkent What remains sad is, as DC group “editor” Kaminski can’t sell aged up Jon Kent (with the damage too pervasive)- especially after the terrible Reign of Superboys arc and the idiotic Tomorrow Stiff costume change- DC has surrogates glazing Superman Unlimited. The folks desperate to get DC creators or editors (using term loosely) on their respective podcasts are forced to tout the Jon Kent suck-nexus and their poor stories. In the face of actual fan sentiment and years of comic history, where aged up Jon Kent remains horrible. The sad circle of the comics pay-per-click economy.

#jonkent Absolutely! Nothing beats the editor and writer creating ANOTHER poor young boy and trapping the child in a volcano as a hostage, right? Or desperately trying to climb the mountain of fan dislike for aged up Jon Kent through poorly conceived montages and a Tomorrow Stiff costume
