John F. Trent reported at Bounding into Comics that “Superman: Son of Kal-El” is not in the top 50 of comics sold five issues into its run.
That’s right, the flagship Superman book at DC Comics is not on a Top 50 Comic Books by Units chart only 5 issues in,” Trent stated.
In “Superman: Son of Kal-El,” the new iteration of Superman becomes a climate change activist, pushes for illegal immigration, and starts making out with dudes.
“Just like his father before him, Jon Kent has fallen for a reporter,” DC Comics said in a statement regarding the new Superman’s bicurious streak. “After initially striking up a friendship with reporter Jay Nakamura, he and Jon become romantically involved in the pages of Superman: Son of Kal-El #5 from writer Tom Taylor (Dark Knights of Steel) and artist John Timms (Harley Quinn).”
