The issue was mostly playing catch-up for new readers but Slott still has a great grasp of the characters' voices and overall tone. I'm glad to see him back at DC after so many years and I hope he sticks around. I always thought his work on the animated DC Comics books and his Arkham Asylum Living Hell mini-series was excellent and I hope he can continue that here. As for this issue again I thought it was good even if a lot of it felt like a recap but I'm intrigued by this Gold Superman at the end. I guess it would make sense to have him gain a new ability to help offset all the Kryptonite now on the planet.

Issue #13

Spoiler: Context for if you are not following the book

So in World's Finest (set in the past of the current timeline) Supes and Bats goes to the Crime Syndicate world. Where Ultraman is. There we see a pregnant Lois Lane.

So far since this book entered the Reign of the Superboys, kid-Jon has been yanked out of a volcano by a 5th dimensional imp to toy with adult-Jon. Kid-Jon is with a Clark-less Lois, and adult-Jon is hiding behind a new super identity. Meanwhile, Krypto and Damien are both suspicious of the kid-Jon before them. This among other things possibly hinting this is not the real kid-Jon, or something is wrong with him.

When they aged up Jon, I tried to keep my distance. I was so mad at it. I knew I could be annoying about it. So I made distance. I didnt read the solo series. I read the Shazam issue where he was aged down for a hot minute (which made me mad). And was uninterested in DC's efforts to endear adult-Jon. But always had some, tiny hope kid-Jon would come back.

I saw they were doing something with kid-Jon in this event. And saw they yanked him out of the volcano. But seeing these hints kid-Jon may not be genuine... has me worried. If it IS him: cool, just be careful. If it is not: I wish DC would stop. Just stick to your guns, and I will stay away from anything Jon, even if I dont want to.

If all this is a fake out, and kid-Jon is back. Cool, great, be careful with him. But if not, I'm going to have a headache.
