Its ok I think. It was the first issue so it needs some build-up. Not many exciting things to talk about
how is Superman getting weaker as he’s growing older?

How do you control your high in the middle of the week (or, let's say, tuesday like today) when you have to work?

I used to know, but I forgot, and "control" in our hobbies is quite rare, y'know.

Tell me your secret recipe.

you guys diabetic?

This is what I mean. Thor doesn’t need to breathe and hasn’t for years, maybe, decades.

Even when he did, his lung capacity was so immense, he could reduce the ocean levels of a planet or hold his breath for weeks if not longer.

how does he reduce the ocean levels with his lungs? Did he breath the ocean water or drank it?

It seems to be a direct result from recent AC and Superman arc

This new limited series helps launch an all-new Superman status quo, setting up story elements that reverberate across both Action Comics and Superman: Son of Kal-El in the months to come.

Superman being weakened was already established in AC and his old age appearance probably is an effect from his powers waning

yeah it’s stupid. He’s always been stated to get more powerful because of longer exposure to the sun. These guys are running out of ideas. Smh.

the cosmic thor arc was amazing, I don't know what happened

it's almost like certain writers do wanna build Thor up, but marvel for some reason hates Thor, like someone higher up just hate Thor with a passion so they decide to shit on him whenever they can

DC has been sucking for a long time now. Johns is such a retro writer, he's willing to replace fan favorites like Kyle and Wally with marry sues like Hal and Barry

I gave up reading flash a long time ago, anything after pre-52 Johns and Waid runs basically

Flash has been pretty enjoyable, IMO. The New Green Lantern series has been kinda a let down. There are plenty of good books out now. Robin, Flash, Batman, etc...

SMH

That armor was designed to protect them from the World Tree's environment of bubbling space/time.

Like literally 2 issues later, Thor fought the Silver Surfer and beat his ass across Mars without needing to breathe. How did you forget this?

Maybe in some random appearance he might have had equipment in the last decade or two, but pretty consistently, he's always been in space just fine.

Sooooo is Superman....a rape victim?

I was really enjoying this comic, so this really came out of left field.

The intention seems to be that he was just tortured and that the euphemisms are a defense mechanism to keep the memories out of mind.

But since it's presented as an explanation, and because there's no shame associated with being tortured, the euphemisms make it sound like he got dicked.

Got dicked by who?

You people are so wrong.

This is obviously a metaphor for the US education system, and how it indoctrinates and spiritually rapes you.

just a general rules of thumb

Superman vs Mongul, Bizarro, Parasite, Lex, Silver Banshee and Metallo, at once:

Kinda insane tbh.

We have a magic user, his literal Kryptonite, an energy drainer and his (imperfect) clone. And he takes them all on in a few panels.

It was the alien attack that weakened him

Yeah, So I said it has been established in AC which was the alien attack happened

Yes, Superman has been slowly getting weaker this whole year.

Jon will soon replace him on the JL.

Apart from using “interview room” to mean “torture room” the page isn’t really euphemistic, just vague on some of the details. But it says Superman was restrained in a way that left him exposed and vulnerable, and then tortured in ways that humiliated and shamed him… so the rape implication isn’t exactly subtle.

Awful art.

Those are illusions/doppelgangers?

No....the real deal.

Mind-controlled or something?
