Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #6

[superfangirl1]

Jon goes to the Sun. So to get extra power to deal with the Justice League allies that is on Superman side. Jon locates and confronts the Flash. They have a discussion that manages to convince him to let Jon handle the Injustice Superman. Jon then rips off Hawkgirl wings and leaves her stranded on a city street. He finds Hal and takes off his ring with a surprise attack. He bum-rush Wonder Woman and takes off into deep space. Which he leave her close to the sun and takes her lasso. Jon know that Wonder Woman will make it back to earth eventually. But he is faster than her. Jon then used Wonder Woman lasso to talk with Damian Wayne.

After taking care of all those articles.


Jon frees Batman and his resistance group from prison off-panel.













Jon is sent back to his world by a Cyborg dimensional multiverse gun.



The last page of a teaser Jon Kent will be appearing in the newly-announced Beast World series involving the Titans.


So nothing really changes in the Injustice World. Superman will continue to be a controlling evil tyrant. The Flash will continue to follow Superman, until he brutally murdered Shazam. Damien will continue to follow Superman until he has an epiphany with meeting ghost Dick Grayson. Hal had a change of heart with trying for redemption after he is arrested after between Injustice 1 and Injustice 2


Batman will get motivated by Jon visit to built a multi-verse dimensional portal to get prime earth Justice League to help him defeat Injustice Superman someday.

Also Earth 2 Red tornado Lois and Val Zod are still trap in the phantom zone. Which is in Injustice Superman fortress of solitude.

"Sorry, but we ran out of money for the art budget -- we're going to have to cut the backgrounds in all of the panels of this issue."

People were expecting things in Injustice world to change? How would Injustice and Injustice 2 ever happen then?

[blues32]

Seems like people were under the impression that this wasn't THE Injustice universe. Just AN Injustice universe.

[aperturedreams]

That's fair, they never really clarified

[beyondthefringe]

I mean to be fair, the intrusion of Jon Kent, aka The Nicest Superman, aka someone with a very personal connection to Kal-El, would have presented a golden opportunity to create an Injustice divergence where Kal changed course away from evil.

Instead, we get a fight resolved with a super-hug before Kal calls his son from another dimension a "sanctimonious #@&$" and super-slaps him, and then Jon goes home the end.

I think this would have been much more rewarding if Jon had actually changed anything in this particular iteration of the Injustice universe, even if it was just swaying one of Kal's allies to the other side, much less actually getting through to Kal. I hate the idea that this visit didn't affect anything.

I'm hoping there's more future payoff down the line. Tom Taylor is usually pretty good at this. Especially since he wrote so much of that Injustice storyline...

[aperturedreams]

Yeah, not gonna lie, I was expecting it to end somewhat anti-climactically but it did feel pretty rushed and that definitely would've been more exciting and not totally off the table

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I didn't realize this took place before them, honestly. I've kind of done a bad job of keeping up after 2.

1. Really nice/clever character design for Injustice Superman. Just the absence of the S-curl in his hair tells you something's terribly wrong with this guy.

2. I dunno, do you think the writer was trying to make some larger point about the need for power to be held to account, and the horror of ignorant people who worship tyrants and bullies?

Next issue: Jon encourages Hitler to give the whole artist thing another try.

[blues32]

Hitler mellows out and starts one of the first reoccurring television programs, "Die Freude am Malen".

[zachbeacon]

Supermen have the weirdest powers.

Super-ventriloquisim.

Super-underwater-basket-weaving.

Firing tiny versions of yourself from your fingers.

Memory-erasing kisses.

Hugs that cure fascism.

[cainofdreaming]

Doesn't every hero who has enhanced strength have that last one? They just have to hug hard enough.

[zachbeacon]

Good point. Very Of Mice and Men.

[thanekos]

Until somebody figures out Jon Kent stories that aren't " necessarily in the shadow of Superman " or " what does Jon do in a world without his father? ", this is the best we're going to get.

[dan_ingram]

So I guess Val and robo Lois are screwed, huh?

[superfangirl1]

Tom Taylor mention that he got plans in the future for Red tornado Lois and Val Zod. People have theories on Twitter that they might appear in Injustice 3?

[windleopard2]

"Superman doesn't kill...humans".

[tcampbell1000]

"So nothing really changes..."

I mean, surely that's a little bit up to interpretation, isn't it? Those of us who aren't terribly invested in the Injustice universe could imagine this reprimand from his wife and son realigning Clark's path, at least somewhat. It could end up being a totally meaningless waste of time, but just because none of the game pieces have moved from where they were at a certain point in Injustice doesn't mean that everyone's heart is unchanged, or that changes to the heart won't change events.

To be clear, this is a little too have-it-both-ways for my tastes, but I think a reading where Jon's able to do some concrete good exists.
