  What?! You mean, letting his son roam around the universe with his homicidal grandfather changed Jon in a negative way?! Who could have foreseen this? Who could've predicted this "crazy" outcome? I'm just so surprised and shocked. Almost as surprised and shocked that Supes let Jon go in the first place. Which we all know he would've never done. Hooray for more garbage.

  Why read a book you hate? Time to make room on that pull list for something you would enjoy?

  Oh, I'm not reading it. Definitely not spending money on it. I was just looking ahead to see what might be in store and saw the summary. Couldn't help myself.

  Av dropped this as well, I can't really support this, I was happy to give bendis a chance but the stuff I liked about the previous run are now non existtant. I may keep action comics on the go to make sure I have a superman book on my pull but even that is a hard choice now, not sure how it got to to this, superman being terrible, batman being terrible, Flash is a mixed bag, I wrongly opted for those at the start of rebirth rather than green lanterns or wonder woman but from what I understand they were not great. The a list characters are in c list stories.

  @Wheezy1892 I think Flash is fantastic. It is my second favorite series this year behind Venom. Everything with Flash War was spectacular! And I can't wait until Flash Year One starts. Williamson is fantastic Flash writer. He really gets the character he is writing for unlike Bendis and King.

  @gferg1991 maybe, but I think some arcs were just poor in the run, Flash war was OK, the random reveal at the end kind of soured it for me, along with the outcome of wally being basically forced into the sanctuary because of his anger at losing his kids derailed my enjoyment of it. Grodd was OK but the rogues have been underused and I guess now the flash family will be on a break given the events in heroes in crisis. I don't hate it but the consistency needs to be better for me to consider it great, that being said its probably the best individual book from a justice league member in the dcu, which is a bit worrying

  Wheezy, think about giving Wonder Woman a chance now the first issue from G. Willow Wilson was a promising start it was great until Rucka left.  Also if Batman isn't for you(which I know it's not) give Detective a chance with Tomasi that book was also great until Tynion left it.  Also DC has a hit with Justice League Dark( I prefer it over the regular Justice League title) I have characters I want to read I might not be able to find them in the normal places but good titles with these characters are out there.  If I want a good Superman story I'll just go reread Huck for the tenth time, lol not reading Bendis' DC work at all.  His writing style is not for me.

  @gregroyj42 I nearly jumped on to wonder woman but its still double shipping, the trouble also is it hasn't been good since rucka left (so I am told) that was about 25 issues ago so no real signs of encouragement. Am pulling detective now so tomasi taking over is bonus and jld has been good. There are some good books out there am just concerned that dc can't get it right with their major characters.

  I mean, if you like it that's ok. But this run is far from being gold. It's mediocre at best.

  Im seeing alot of negative reception about Bendis' Superman, but I think its pretty solid, especially compared to how ridiculously grounded Action Comics has become. Its pretty sad to see Jon grow up so abruptly but im sure it was done for a reason, time will tell. That ending took me completely off guard too, I was just confused as to how a certain group of characters were able to appear in this issue, my only guess is time travel. Im really interested to see how Jon communicates with this group of characters, especially since two of them have ALOT in common with him.
