Well this is what I'm gonna do,I'm gonna read issue 25,26,and 27 of both superboy and teen titans,and if there isn't a clear way for kon to be back,that will be it,I will no longer buy superboy anymore,and yeah it makes me sick to my stomach.<br /><br />DC should be ashamed of themselves,they have shit on the character from the beginning,and when they had a chance to give him a origin most wanted,they gave us the most complicated crap.They have shown no respect for the character at all,DC disgusts me right now.<br /><br />Jon lane kent is a good side story character,but not someone to wrap a characters origin around,and definitely not hand him the characters book,when the harvest/Jon stuff is what ppl didn't like about the book in the first place.<br /><br />I want to know who changed their minds about superboys origin,and gave us Jon's organ bank instead,I want that persons head on MY chopping block.YOU ruined my favorite character,and not will brush him aside,cause you couldn't get your asinine ideas over with customers.<br /><br />Shame on you DC,shame on youtonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16487241241676398689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-57024705077991644442013-10-14T20:21:11.121-04:002013-10-14T20:21:11.121-04:00This Superboy fan has been depressed ever since I ...This <i>Superboy</i> fan has been depressed ever since I read the news on CBR, and I can't let go of it. I actually got into the Super-Family New 52, especially <i>Superboy</i> with the <i>H'el on Earth</i> events. To be honest, I do like everything that has been going on except the Clois-centric origin. I don't mind if he is the clone of Jon Kent and Superman, but I have trouble with Lois being the mother clone. Clois doesn't appeal to me so I went ahead while ignoring the origin and hoping for the best for this Superboy. But if Jon replaces Kon, I don't think I will be able to read anymore since I'm not a Jon Kent fan given his history.

I like Lara's military background origin in this continuity, and I would imagine that she A, doesn't know this is her son, or B, doesn't believe the time travel story if Kal gets to relay it. Which I find understandable. So this doesn't bother me in the slightest. <br /><br />The rest though, lots of concern. I understand Superboy has had a whole lot of missteps and its nice when that's acknowledged, I'm just not sure if the direction of replacing him entirely is the right call. Risks have paid off before, but I'm wary. <br /><br />As for Supergirl, this is a bit harder to gauge. Because I don't understand the context of "leaving the Superman family forever". Is this hyperbole? Is her title just going to be further disconnected? Or is her book being canceled and the other title she's going to be showing up in becomes her only feature? If its the former I could deal with it, although a further divorce from Superman I feel is not needed at all. If its the latter, I'd be quite a bit more disappointed.<br /><br />I'm just assuming at this point he's not trolling, because a few days after the fact no sources have called it out as such.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-36130019413003213932013-10-14T17:44:28.713-04:002013-10-14T17:44:28.713-04:00The solicit calls him The Son of Superman so it is...The solicit calls him The Son of Superman so it is probably Jon Lane.<br /><br />As for Supergirl, who knows.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-61857283192473827752013-10-14T17:40:00.413-04:002013-10-14T17:40:00.413-04:00Guys, Lobdell is definitely trolling.

I hope her book continues. I hope she is featured in a second book, a team book and I would love for it to be more cosmic in nature. (LEGION is a great idea.)<br /><br />At the very least we aren't hearing about a gutting of the character like Superboy.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-45095114836618751412013-10-14T13:23:46.050-04:002013-10-14T13:23:46.050-04:00I was watching this unfold, and to be honest I'...I was watching this unfold, and to be honest I'm just confused. Certainly it sucks for Superboy - #25 will be the only issue of that I read, for sure.<br /><br />What's happening to Supergirl is too vaguely defined for me to really work out my feelings on it. As long as her own book stays going - and I have to be confident it will be because we know Yildiray CInar is pencilling it right now - I'm fine with her joining a team book of some kind, except the Titans because that cretin Lobdell has made even long-term TT fans hate it. As for leaving the Superman family of books, I don't like the idea of cutting her off from Clark, Kon, Lois etc even further, but to be honest if I NEEDED to have them be a major part of her book, I wouldn't have liked the New52 book because she's already barely involved with them. I hoped KR was an opportunity for them to reconnect. If she is separated from them, I'll be ok with it as long as, like Bedard has been hinting, she's reconnected with her own supporting cast. and if it means she's kept away from Lobdell, I might even WELCOME it. The 26 solicit does hint at a "New mission" - perhaps this is what Lobdell was referring to?<br /><br />Seriously, I'm with you on this one. Why is he even writing Superman if this is how he feels about him? Did something heavy fall on his head? Why is he in charge of Superman, the Teen Titans AND Red Hood? *sigh* I'll have more of an opinion when we hear concrete details. I've been talking up Supergirl all over reddit, tumblr, anyone I meet who's into comics etc, and there is a lot of goodwill for the Supergirl title amongst fans sick of Superboy's lack of direction and Superman being written like a jerk by Lobdell. I'd hate it if her book gets thrown down the toilet now. When Bedard and Cinar's first issue comes out, if it's good, I'm going to shill for it shamelessly. I might even buy a few copies of it as Christmas presents!<br /><br />It was a relief to get to Sunday and hear news of the Marvel panels. At least I've got Captain Marvel coming back!

He can't be serious with all this awful nonsense - surely DC has noticed that certain approaches haven't worked. And would he really give away the ending of the Kryoton story? Is he that sure that we don't want to be surprised by his story? I know that solicitations say a hero will die or some such - at this point I wouldn't be surprised if that means H'el, getting some kind of stupid 'redemption'. <br /><br />Where would Supergirl go, other family of books-wise? Please Lord, not the idiot Teen Titans. Could another, Tony Bedard-run L.E.G.I.O.N. revival be on the way. I could stand to see Supergirl in there - we could see how she sparks with Querl Dox's ancestor, Vril - but as a member, not the focus. Let's just have a Supergirl book focusing on Supergirl moving forward, treat her as a strong player in her own right rather than insisting on pinning her too tightly to some other bunch of characters, like a helpless butterfly. <br /><br />Lobdell has to have been trolling ...Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.com
