Prime time?

Based OP. Been waiting all day for this.

>>90329448
So has anyone talked about the fact that the "ha ha ha" in this page are in 3 different fonts, am I crazy or is this hinting at the 3 jokers?

The "Has" are the same font. But different colors. You might be on to something there.

>>90329467
Nah, it's just Tim's laughter getting louder.

>>90329499
Yeah that's what I meant,
>>90329502
Yeah, I thought about that also. I just thought it was weird doomsday and prophecy was laughing, but I guess being cooped up in a prison makes you looney.

>>90329502
It could also be some of the different inmates laughing too.

>>90329546
Need Gleason to draw more past superman stuff

The optimist in me says that Super Sons got delayed because they were trying to put it out after this story.
Without Jon having his own book, him disappearing would hold a lot more weight

>>90329605

Are those photos meant to be blank like they were erased? Or..... just an art error?

And jeez this is stressful. I'm really glad Super Sons is a book that exists or I'd be freaking out.

>>90329605
Thanks NoRad.

That felt like it was 5 pages long. I need MORE!

>>90329599
Hey Shirtless John faggot, look, he's not wearing anything!

>>90329605
I feel like I haven't been this genuinely intrigued by a Superman plot in a good while.

Here's hoping Prime Time is a reality.

Prime-Suspect
The variant of #975 has Bizarro and Cyborg Supes, so why reuse them in a silhouette for Superman #19's cover?

>>90329448
Is that Atomic Skull between Doomsday and Tim Drake?

>>90329619
Considering the magic flames on the pictures, they were erased, it's not an error.

I fucking hate single issues, man. This is why I trade wait.

>>90329619
The whole dilemma of this issue involves things disappearing. Including the images on the photos.

>YFW its not Prime Time

>>90329899
He has deleted jon from superman history.

>>90329928
and the house.

>>90329916
Some unknown entity seems to have escaped from Oz's captivity. That has to be the person responsible for whatever is happening this issue.

>>90329896
I doubt they'll be worse than decent. Jurgens' run picked up after the Doomsday arc.

>>90329947
Wouldn't be surprised if this was true.

>>90329947
I think fake clark and whoever escaped oz's prison are 2 different events. But Superdad will end up helping find the prisoner and that will lead to Oz being thankful and telling him the truth about whatever is the secret between him and new 52 superman, leading to the costume change, which will lead to a fight between the fused Superman and Clark Kent in the last issue, which ends with his son back and integrated into the new 52 universe.


This is all just fan fiction in my head though, so who knows

>>90329638

It's Cyborg Superman for sure

>>90329982

>>90329599
Oh god the feelings, I need go to sleep but now I just can't do it, thank you very much for the storytime OP but now I can't wait for the next issue, btw how many chapters will have this arc?
And above anything else, Jon will be fine, right /co/?

>>90329947

Then that would imply to me that OZ is actually a good guy and he's trying to preserve history

>>90329723

Evil Martian Manhunter is too scary an idea for me.

>>90330031
fucking doubt it

>>90329992
But he isn't on that list of suspect either.

>>90329947
The timeline doesn't match though. Tim has been locked up there for about as long as notClark has been around, so he couldn't escape just now.
Unless there's time travel involved, which is just weird even for this.

>>90330396
Yeah, that is absolutely surreal that Action Comics #1000 is actually happening.

>>90329448
Can anyone remind me again why Doomsday was imprisoned?

Was anyone else surprised at how well done of a mystery this is so far?

>>90330396
Many people did not live to see issue 1000. Let's have a moment for those that didn't make it.
Seriously, a lot of people didn't make it. Like all of the World War 2 casualties for starters.

>>90329632
Why are you talking about, Jon's clothes went with him.

So he's still not shirtless.

>>90330445
That dude locked him up after the Jurgens arc.

>>90329468
So who do you think broke out /co/? It couldn't be Prime since he's fake-Clark. Who else could it be? Conner maybe? I want Jon to have a big bro.

>>90330445
Because letting Doomsday run around free not imprisoned is stupid.

>>90330445
Superman believes he sent Doomsday to the Phantom Zone. Mr. Oz intercepted the transmission and has been keeping Doomsday prisoner himself. Why Oz is doing anything he's done is still a mystery.

>>90330474
>>90330493
Yeah, it's the why I'm wondering about. Tim and the other guy were locked up because they were close to revealing Oz. But Doomsday?

>>90330479
The time trapper?

>>90329632
Shirtless Jon when?

Fuck You for lying.

>>90330396

I cant wait. I hope DC doesn't fuck it up and tie it into the Manhattan event

>>90329546
>>90329605
So if this is fake-Clark/Prime Time could he be getting meta on them? If he's "remembered" then maybe when he disappears he's going back to his Earth and is burning his comics?

>>90330519
You KNOW it's going to be the big payoff issue of the whole Rebirth/Watchmen thing.

That is a spolier of the new jla book.

>>90330510
Well, if you think you're going to end up fighting Superman at some point in the future, having a Doomsday in you pocket is a good idea. Provided you can control him.

>>90330570
I think that's the regular JL book not the JLA book.

>>90330574
True. Batman probably keeps a Doomsday in his belt along with some kryptonite just in case.

>>90330574
Yes I know..
I always say the name wrong.

>>90330396
>there will be people who read Action Comics #1 when it came out that will get to read #1000
DC really should track down some old people that claim to have read #1 as kids when it first came out for a special on their YouTube channel or something. if they have a photo of them reading #1 as a kid I think I'll cry

>>90330570
>Implying anything Hitch does will be relevant
JL is pretty much just the fuck off book for anyone just wanting to get a book with all these A-Listers. It's bizarrely disconnected from the rest of the line.

>>90329615
Beaste, Raven and Star are there so everyone else can be ignored.

>>90330512
I figure it's gotta be someone that has a personal friendly connection to Supes because of the drawings.

So who can cause reality erasing fire? Is that even a power anyone has ever had or is this Clark a new original OC character?

>>90330632
Depending on who the trapper is this time he could very well have a connection to Supes, positive or otherwise. And he's fully capable of fucking around with time and space as he pleases.

TFW this won't turn.into a team up with Wally

>>90330064
Well if OZ is an analogue for ozymandias from watchmen then he does have good intentions of saving the world except is just going around doing it the wrong way.

>>90329489
Those are some massive death flags Lois and Clark are giving Jon, I'd be worried if I didn't know better

>>90330460
Mystery is certainly well done but the thing is its setting a high bar for the conclusion.

>>90330615
or its doing a grand overarching metaplotline thats connecting everything and is the key to Rebirth

>>90329605
Fuck that was good, I wish it was just a couple more pages and we might have got some more information but its gonna be another week until we find out if its Prime time.

>>90329638
Magog is so out of place here, did anyone think of him? Because to use him and not Cyborg or Prime is weird, like it's gonna be him because reasons

>>90329723
Love Mahnke, but lol at Lois' face in the fourth panel
Also Super looking awfully Ultra in the first

>>90330570
Pretty sure that happened in the last JL issue.

>>90330396
Even better, we can live to see 'Tec issue #1000
...Hold me /co/, at this pace we' re a year away from AC1k if they keep being bimonthly

>>90331123
also, it's just weird to randomly mention him there
it's gotta be him

>>90331123
Yeah, if this list is not a bait-and-switch then I'm betting on him too, he's too out of place here to not be it

>>90329489

>>90329948
>I doubt they'll be worse than decent
Yeah, but they're not going to be any better than decent either. That's Jurgens for you.

>>90330445


That one is Pre 52 Doomsday, an anomaly to the current universe like Supes.

>>90330793
it isn't. The most meta thing in there was when they explained the reason Hitch's JLA mini not getting an ending was because of timefuckery.

>>90331717
It's already been established that fake Clark just disappears sometimes.

>>90329662
>another layer
AAAAAAAAAAA just explain it already. i really wish i got back into dc a few months later than i did.

>>90331376
I'm pretty sure that's just some kind of farm equipment.

Well I'm starting to think that it's an OC villain, Prime never really had the erasing things from reality power.

>>90329448
Why is red robin here?

>>90331940
It's a water tank.

>>90331973
He was whisked away just before being gunned down by a shit ton of armed drones in Detective Comics' first rebirth arc.

Okay, so what do we know about fake Clark?

>He can disappear, like he did when he entered his appartment building, neither the cameras or the doorman saw him and when he walked away from the door
>His Lois was "taken" from him
>The Fortress scanners revealed his biology to be completly human.
>He had a scrapbook of photos from his life that parallells that of the post-crises Supes
>He can make shit disappear, like he did with Jon in this issue.

It would suck massively, but it feels like it may be Martian Manhunter who's had the memories of Clark Kent inplanted in him somehow. Fake Clark's "powers" seem similar to Martian Manhunter's

Could also be Cyborg Superman. Perhaps his body can trick the fortress scanners. Memories could definitely be planted into his cyborg body and photos could be forged.

Or it's a mindwiped/confused New52 supes. Someone's done something to him etc.

>Prime Time

But sense COIE was solved during Convergence can't Prime literally go back to a timeline where Earth Prime was never destroyed?

He can literally go home now. Why would he still be salty?

>>90332134
because at this point he is insane?

>>90332134
How can he go back to that timeline? He is no time-traveler or something like that. He has no deviced to do time-travel either.

It more and more seems like fake-Clark is either Prime or Cyborg Superman since he yelled
"You ruined everything" in last AC.

>>90330541
I hope that doesn't happen and DC actually gets some good writers to write a few stories. It'd like AC #900 when DC used it for an event.

>>90332195
>>90332151
>>90332195
I wish we got a chance to see how the original multiverse is doing in the saved timeline.

The only reality exiled to Limbo right now is the post-COIE pre-Flashpoint multiverse. And that's a shame. Jon is great and everything but I want them to finally save Chris from the phantom zone.

Or better yet, have Chris and Jon meet up and become best brothers.

>>90329403
>that spoiled

I think it's just Pham's pencils and the perspective.

>>90329468
Mxyzptlk, maybe? I can see a vilain wanting to take him off the board, especially given how fixated Mxy can become on Supes.

>>90333047
I wonder if they're gonna remember Mxy being on earth with his wife and child now as established in Morrison's Action Comics run. Did they stay on earth? I'm not sure.

>>90329605
Someone done tugged on Superman's cape. Shit's on, now.

I was about to say we should be getting a shot of Clark's eyes glowing red in anger, but Lois honestly looks more frightening there. Bitch gonna stab a fucker.

None of those villains will be Clark Kent. Is misdirection.

>>90329599
W-why is it raining, guys?
;_;

>>90329479
why is jon Asian now

>>90330615
This.
Why do so many anon's think Hitch's stuff is great? The league fights a new race of aliens attacking the planet with either a hive force or an XBOX HUEG weapon, while the characters don't feel/sound like themselves, and there is usually some thread connecting it with a previous arc. The only issue i thought was legitimately great was when they got rekt, and hashed out their trust issues with Clark, who in turn informed them of Batman's Tower of Babel plans, which was fun to watch, before they all came together. Other than that, his run has been forgettable at best for me.

>>90329497
>>90329514
How is this guy superboy prime when didnt he die? hope to god he dosent shatter another reality.

>>90329871
Art was kind of crappy this issue, but the story itself was intense enough to carry it.

>>90330737
OZ is not ozymadias. the OZ character appeared in nu52 superman before rebirth was even thought up. It also doesn't fit the character why does Ozymadias care about this earth he accomplished his plan on his earth and stopped the doomsday clock.

>>90333524

It's all part of Johns's keikaku.

I was thinking Cyborg before this book but this seems to much over his head to pull off. I'm thinking could this be Kal-L it would explain his connection to Lois.Prime never had a Lois his girl was Lana.

>>90329468
OK the fake Clark is the one who escaped from here i think. So lets study this wall for clues there has to be something on here.

But Porter and Dell's art sucked. It was the only flaw of Morrison's JLA run.

I didnt read the Lois and Clark mini- assumed Superdad was pre-nu52 Supes? When Jon is surprised he's not in pics, I thought that was just before he was born, pre-nu52, but get the feeling I'm wrong.

So is it just different artists' take on the current Rebirth costume or are the 3 different costumes going to mean anything within the story??

>>90329403
PRIME TIME BABY

>>90335123
Those are all by Gary Frank, so the latter presumably.

>>90329403
Is the cover giving TAS vibes to anyone else or just me?

Has there ever been a Superman crossover event where Kingdom Come Superman interacts with Earth-2 Kal-L?

>>90335123
the second to last cover is nu52 superman look at the collar and im going to presume the last one is them merged together hence the boot change

>>90335123
In this order:
superfam
superdad
superbro
merged superdad+superbro

>>90335180
no, but KC Superman has met Post Crisis Superman. John's JSA. And KC Superman did meet the Earth 2 JSA.

>>90329479

>>90335303

>>90329514
OR not

>>90331123
He didn't act like a kid in his previous appearances, though, and he doesn't have SBP's reason for being fixated on Superman's life.

>>90335307
Yeah, that JSA run was the only time I could really think about KC Supes and Kal-L were close to interacting.

But on a side question, was KC Superman originally gonna be Earth-2 Kal-L? I thought I read that Alex Ross wanted more Golden Age elements in the story.

>>90330815
>>90331123
>>90331137
But isn't Magog dead? Didn't Maxwell Lord make him blast off his own face with his Gog-spear?

>>90336260
That was pre-Rebirth.

This would have been so much better if we didn't already know Jon is going to be okay by the solicitations and the fact that Super Sons started last month.

>>90336498
Fuck that, I'm glad I don't have to have a breakdown and sob like a bitch at work...

>>90329605
Fuck I can't wait for next week.

>>90329497
Why are there like 19 candles on that cake?

>>90337259
Clark and Lois got married in '96, so if you give or take a year or two for Flashpoint and Convergence time fuckery it works out about right

>>90336909
>Prime Trapper
I want more Superboy Prime as a LOSH villain mainstay.

So does this mean we will see Martian Manhunter soon?

Clark is Prime Trapper. the escapee may be Chris (Zod's son). Overall villain of Rebirth is obviously Dr Manhatten, but he isn't actually doing this deliberatly it's just a side effect. Mr Oz is Ozymandius and is trying to stop Manhatten.

>>90329605

Black Wally, just like my tv shows!

>>90329605
That was 20 pages?

Honestly, it felt more like 8. Wow that was good.

Well now I think fake Clark is PC Jimmy

>>90329460
any thoughts on who would belong in a weird cell like that?What is the significance of it being in a graveyard?

It's the Comics Code Authority. He's here to make comics great again

To back up the superboy prime theory, this weeks green lantern revealed that volthoom comes from earth 15, the world that was destroyed by prime. T

>>90339944
Same world. The cosmic grail is the travel lantern.

Also superboy destroyed it via it's present day, yet breaking the time space contunuim. Killing its future and past at once.


Volthoom origins nearly same as red son superman or super boy prime.

At least there's another way to travel universes.

Nice subtility DC

Doubt it is Doc Manhattan but it could be.

My bet is a monitor or something along those lines.

I never really liked the characterization of Prime, but it is always an epic battle fighting a batshit crazy manchild with silver age powers.

>>90329403
Why is super man a Mary Sue?

I fucking swear to christ if they kill off Jon.

I want to see him grow up and BECOME Superman, not get killed off for shock value like Adam Morgan. Or Spiderman's marriage.

>>90330396
>you will live to see Superman's 100th anniversary

Feels super man

>>90343330
Try again.

>>90343636
He's not going to get killed off when his own series literally just got off the ground. And he's also not going to become Superman because Clark Kent is Superman. Status Quo is the one true God. Jon will simply get rebooted out of existence after X amount of years.

One thing that really pisses me off about cape comics is how they inevitably end their character's stories by killing them in a universal apocalypse and starting over.

Would it be so hard to say "And they lived happily ever after. Now we're focusing on a new universe"?

>>90343775
Fuck that, let shit change.

>>90343792
But if capeshit ever let things really change, how could they keep milking the same characters decade after decade?

>>90343833
Multiverse allows it. COIE was a mistake.

>>90333625
This... I think you have it, anon.

>Action Comics
>great
Let's not exaggerate.

>>90329605
This is why I like John as an addition to the super family because it used to be Lois and the Kents were Clark's primary concern but when you have a kid, priorities shift. Cant wait to see next week to see Superdad and SuperMilf Rage

>>90347902
>John
How do you do this? His name is Jon, you're literally reading a page with his name right there. It's like when people type Damien and not Damian in a storytime, fucking how?

>>90347975
Creature of habit, you gotta chill man

>>90329546
Are you guys sure it's prime? I thought he is triggered for Laurie?

You guys think they'll bring back ma kent when this arcs ends? Seems like regardless of what happens, with the kents being alive, some things will change

>>90331186
Did... He just thought of Jon during a jizz session?

>>90348152
Ma Kent maybe. This Superman's Pa still died.

>>90347171
Superdad has been great.

>>90335303
I'm really sorry to ask, but who is superbro? Google sucked ass in this case

>>90348790
New 52 Superman.

>>90348811
ah. okay. He's not the one that just died and accidentally killed Loise, is he? I remembered someone mentioning why superbro didn't have a statue in the fortress so I just assumed that wasnt him

This issue gave me blue balls

>>90349005
Superbro is the Superman who recently died, yes. And apparently New 52 Lois gained a part of his power, then disintegrated.

>>90349146
Thanks you guy(s)

Makes me want to read 52 then To see where that reputation is from

>>90333152
An angry, fearful mother whose son is missing and possibly dead is a thousand times scarier than Angry Supes could ever be.

If she's an Army brat, to boot, you are fucked.

Watching Clark struggle in the end to save Jon had me tearing up like a little punk. Been a while since a book had gotten that kind of reaction out of me.

This whole run since Rebirth has been fantastic. One of these days soon I'm just going to go back and read all the post-Crisis Supes stuff I can since I started with New 52 but like this Supes so much better.

>>90329638
It be funny if all this is an intentional misdirection

>>90329723
Supes goes full injustice on fake Clark to find Jon

Not from a lack of trying.

I have this mental image of Prime standing outside the house watching going:

"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

>>90329723
this art is FUCKING TERRIBLE holy fuck. I can't even bring myself to buy this shit. Gonna be a story time exclusive for myself.

>>90353572
You missed the America thread by a mile

>>90331967
Is Jon erased or just sent somewhere else?

>>90330007
He's been in all the superman titles. duh.

>>90353609
look at that fucking page and tell me it isn't hideous. America is probably terrible, I haven't wasted my time, but that doesn't excuse the shit I replied to.

>>90353946
It is nowhere near as bad as America's art. Its perfectly serviceable, not amazing, but probably better then you can draw.

>>90329468
I'm going with Mxy. As far as I remember Prime never had an obsession with Clark specifically, and he especially wouldn't want to be saved by him. The childish writing is also much closer to something Mxy would do.

My question is that whoever it is, why did it take so long for Oz to notice?

>>90354927
>My question is that whoever it is, why did it take so long for Oz to notice?

Too busy giving it to Tim on a nightly basis

>>90330570

>"How come I'm not in any of these?"
This is such a realistic kid thing to say I fucking love Tomasi

>>90332650
You realize he was created specifically for the cartoon, right?

He was going to debut in the comics alongside with his dreadlock design, but it never happened, so now of course they're going to use the only design anyone knows him from.

>>90356128
>He was going to debut in the comics alongside with his dreadlock design, but it never happened
The fuck are you talking about? It happened.

Brightest Day Aquaman focused on him heavily. But them came Flashpoint...

Isn't the art on this look different than the previous versions of the farm?

If anything, it's more wooded than in Son of Superman.

>>90356413
I noticed that too. It'd be nice if they were a bit more consistent with it if that's where they're going to live from now on. Though I imagine it'll be back to Metropolis eventually.

>>90329638
I'm positive that he is none of these except MAYBE Superbro. Everyone else would be really underwhelming.

>>90353946
Manke has gotten really bad in recent years, yeah.

>>90356413
>three hundred miles north of Metropolis
Jeez, that's quite the commute for Lois.

>>90343833

This was written a long time ago but there's been plenty of change, vis a vi character development and circumstances. Clarks's been a new reporter, for example, an investigative reporter, a foreign correspondent, a reporter busted down to crap work like covering city hall and police blotter type detail, to being a tv correspondent for GBS, to being the temporary editor, for example, and here we're just talking career circumstances.

And this is just the stuff they came to me off the top of my head.

>>90356463
It takes less than a minute for Clark to bang her and drop her off at work.

>>90343775
>Jon will simply get rebooted out of existence after X amount of year
Eh, assuming he keeps up the popularity he currently has he'll stick around but never grow up like Damian.

>>90356506
Haven't we seen her driving either there or back at least once? I'm pretty sure that happened.

>>90356555
When Lois started working at the Daily Planet again it was mentioned that Metropolis was an hour away from wherever the "Smiths" are living by train.

>>90356446
They are moving back to Metropolis as soon as this ends. Though Superman will deal with Kathy's grandpa being a alien and trying to make them stay in the country for some reason

>>90329928
He's Broken Clark Kent!!!!!!

One thing to point out is there's no confirmation that the NotClark is the one responsible for disappearing everything in this issue. For all we know he just dropped off the album as a legitimate anniversary gift.

He hasn't really shown any malice toward Clark and Lois before this.

>>90356997
You mean apart from the last issue of Action Comics where he screamed into the sky that Superman had ruined everything

>>90357018
Oh right... that

>>90357023
Yeah, Fake Clark was confirmed psycho in the last issue of Action Comics.

I'm bored out of my head but here is a theory I have:

Oz: Pre-Crisis Lex Luthor. Because we've had pre-Crisis Brainiac show up, so why not Pre-Crisis Lex?

The escaped prisoner: OG Cyborg Superman

Nu-52 Superman: Variant of Superboy Prime. Basically, Nu-52 Superman is what Superboy Prime would have become had Crisis not happened and he did not go evil. Manhattan grabbed him from the Earth Prime future right before Crisis destroyed the planet and put him in cold storage before Earth Prime was erased.

Nu-52 Lois: Pre-Crisis Lois. Basically as a meta nod to how OOC she was. Manhattan grabbed her from Earth 1 right before Earth 1 reset with the Byrne version of Superman.

And for the zinger: Superdad and Pst-Crisis Lois's son? Superboy fucking Prime reincarnated, with regards to Manhattan killing him before Convergence and Supeboy Prime being reincarnated as Jonathon Kent.

>>90357124

Current Superman isn't going to be anything other than Post Crisis Supes unless DC goes full retard.

I don't think anybody wants The Clone Saga : Superman edition

>>90356530

Apparently, in Jurgens current run of Batman Beyond, he's listed as the Superman at that time frame. Which doesn't really make sense since Bruce is xyz old age gramps and Clark with better genetics had left Metropolis due to reasons (as per Levitz in Superman/Batman) and then later JL Beyond stories showed Clark around, but whatever.

>>90329577
I love how Jon calls his father "sir." Clark has raised a respectful son by respecting him in turn.

>>90357124
All these people know clark kent is superman. The wall needs to have Kent's name in it but it doesn't. So the only option obviously is Jimmy Olsen.

yeah, without looking at the finished product, that looks more like an inker issue and (to a lesser extent, possibly being rushed). I don't find it 'terrible' - just not as polished as it should be.

>>90329467
>>90329499

I think that's possibly reading too much. The fonts are the same and the coloring needs to change in at least one of those instances to be showing the movement and difference. I think the third could more likely be the colorist making a decision and going too far in one direction. It's way too subtle for what you two are thinking.

>>90333944
Nah then all those girls whose insider knowledge is based on Young Justice and Lil Gotham will be butthurt than people don't recognize that Superman was a bad 'father' to YJ Superboy while Bruce is 'best dad' to his extended family, who he adopted like the good soul he is, plus YJ whom he adopted like the good mentor and leader he is

>>90329468

>>90333704
There's a lot of insider knowledge (e.g. the baby coming to the Kents, the DP staff, etc.) in the art work and it's a very simplistic, child like drawing. Those are the most obvious take aways, other than the "Somebody Save Me/Superman Save Me"

Superman doesn't either. Yet he's still had time travel advntures

Perhaps Prime can ACQUIRE one somehow

>>90333286

He's not.

Idiot.

>>90333524

He might be an offspring of Ozymandias, or an heir to his legacy

>>90333625

Cant be Henshaw. We see him at the Fortress of Solitude.

>>90359970
Pre-Crisis Henshaw is also coming back. There's gonna be two Henshaws running around

>>90343330

Mary Sue applies only to fanfic characters. Superman is a fully licensed property.

>>90348447

Get your mind out of the gutter you sick fuck

What if the mystery Clark is not any of the suspects or Superbrat Prime but in fact Pre-Crisis Golden Age Superman?

What happened to Parallax who reappeared during Convergence? The last time I saw characters blinking out of existence was Zero Hour. Maybe he has some role in all this?

On the prisoner who escaped, from the drawings inside the cell it has to be a child. A child who knows a lot about Superman, I can only think of Chris (Zod's son from the New Kryton arc)

>>90353572
Mahnke's quiality varies WILDLY depending on the colorist. He can go from a 3 to a 10. Just compare this to Superman beyond and the first pages of Ultra Comics.

>>90360817
He appeared in one of the last issues of the previous green lantern volume, and also in that Telos mini that no one read and whose existance I had forgotten until I started typing this.

>>90361278
Honestly, Early Mahnke was the best when he was still a bit cartoony. Plus, airbrush colors actually look's good on him.
