This cover is terrible on so many levels. Janin is such a fucking hack.

Oh hey, Chris.

>>94168257

>>94168265
Kenan's costume is unironically the best looking

>>94168257
>>94168276
don't bring Supergirl cuz she and Batgirl just solo'd the Phantom Zone like nbd

>>94168401
he's gonna be a turd so its a loss across the board

>>94168293
Seriously?

>>94168293
>>94168303
It's so cartoonish, I love it

>>94168322
>>94168327
>>94168332
I like the art here

I still don't understand why DC decided to add in a Chinese supe
It seems so forced and out of place

>>94168332
Oh hi Chris
I hope he'll be in Super Sons

>>94168332
>Chris Kent is back and he's a bad guy edgelord

Oh boy, can't wait for the shitstorm for this one.

Evil wife and Mini Zod join the game.
Superman family VS Zod family soon.

>>94168590
he will says the witer

>>94168580
China has been steadily but slowly opening their markets to Western media, after decades of harsh censorship. It's basically a whole new demographic that many are quick to grab money from. That's why a bunch of the biggest Hollywood movies have had Chinese stars or take place in China, like Transformers 4 taking place partially in China, or the doctor in Iron Man 3 who took out Tony's chest reactor was a Chinese star. Kong Kenan is an example of making something Chinese specifically to sell things to the new China market.

>>94168332
Fuck you Jurgens, this is not how we wanted Chris back!

>>94168293
Poor Mongul.

>>94168265
Wait can kenan fly now? Did I miss an issue?

So how did Zod get his brains back, again?

>>94168800
I think everyone can fly in the Phantom Zone

Or this is set after he unlocks that Trigram

>>94168225
Supergirl looks very teeny weeny on that cover

>>94168825

Shit taste.

>>94169121
everyone loves Kenan though

>>94169121
oh really? you liked the Alexander Luthor rip off that becomes Nightwing and then suddenly turns back into a kid after he defeats his daddy?

>>94168332
Godammit don't do this to Chris.

>>94169000
It's according to the main character's point of view.

>>94169141
The World of New Krypton shit with him was a mistake, but he was good when he was introduced.

Granted, he was just Jon but adopted, character-wise...

>>94168332
Oh shit. Was Chris in the New-52 at all? Please let him join Super Sons and bully Damian.

>>94168370
>I've seen what you can do.
>I can't bring back a man who's killed millions
Is he talking about the destruction of Coast City?

>>94168580
Try actually reading New Super-Man. It's actually really fucking good.

>>94168272
Well, that didn't take long.

>>94169356
>Was Chris in the New-52 at all?

I don't believe so. Superbro's connection to the pre-Flashpoint Superman history was pretty tenuous. Very little if any connection.

The way the issue is written it sounds like this is Lor-Zod's first time meeting his father? Goddammit Jurgens why this shit gotta be so complicated?

>>94168293

What do you guys think of Blanque? He's essentially a serial spree killer but with super powers. Simple. But I like him. Not all metas would be masterminds with elaborate goals, some just want to kill.

>>94169702
No-prize: Clark doesn't know that because he wasn't there.

>>94169702
But he hasn't seen him together with Superman.

>>94168580
it's probably the best new series in a long while

>Ursa
>Not Faora

What?

>>94170193
Because Ursa was Lor-Zod's mother?

>>94168276

>Kenan asks the question in Mandarin
>Supes answers it in English

The fuck, man?

>>94168326

Not really. It's a representation of the crest that appears on the kryptonian battle suits in their earlier appearances (such as the return of superman, all the way back in the 90s)

>>94168895

It's OG pre-Crisis Kal-L, the old man Superman from way back when.

>>94168265
I really like Kenan and Lex's costumes

>>94168293
Holy Kek. I love Zod.

>>94168293
>Team Mongul is blasting off again!
Lel

>>94169000
Wasn't Mandarin red the first time Kenan showed up? I liked that mirroring

>>94168377
So maybe the """leak""" by Rich the Leech about Oz being Jor-El was true after all.

>>94168580
Try reading it before REEEEEing because seeing a non-white character makes you butthurt.

>>94168580
He's the cheap Chinese knockoff. Read the series, not only is it great there's more JL knockoff characters

>>94169121
He was awful outside of Last Son of Krypton. Kon-El, Jon, and Kenan were/are better additions than Chris.

>>94169704
They've tried repeatedly to give Superman a "Joker" character. Blanque fits that role well enough for me. It helps that he's got a fairly decent design that lets him stand out from the rest of the rogues, and that he's not another strong man or genius.

>>94168357
Poor Blanque.

>>94169383
Henshaw has killed whole worlds, read his pre-Flashpoint appearances in Green Lantern

>>94170781
>They've tried repeatedly to give Superman a "Joker" character.
I hated when they tried to put Xa-Du in that role. It didn't fit at all.

>>94170799
Those are noncanon, until confirmed as such.

>>94168641
It would be fucking adorable if it was just biased as fuck low level one upmanship. Zod trying at "playing the game" Better than Clark.

Not trying to conquer the world but just trying to be better than the rival. That would be fun.

Otherwise Zod is just too big a threat to leave unattended and in for a long play.

>>94168377
The eradicator standing there is just awkward.

SM/WW was a terrible book

>>94171266
Irrelevant to Zod & Faora being handled well and that 1st arc was plenty good except for the flashbacks to JL origin.

>>94168293
You know with this, and Zod's desire to say "Kneel before Zod!" I think he hasn't healed all the way from his self lobotomy.

>>94168293
h-he's fast!

>>94168272
>i can see
>I can FIGHT

>>94169704
When was he created ? Is he post-rebirth or what. I can't really judge the character if I haven't read the story where they debuted, especially if the character is somewhat recent

>>94171698
Superman: Lois and Clark

>>94168225
Kinda average cover.

>>94168246
I am not really feeling either of these covers.

>>94168272
eh...

I'm kind of indifferent to how they fixed this

>>94169704

I like Blanque. He's only been in like three stories thus far, and he doesn't feel like he's being spammed plus he's a simple enough character.

>>94168288
Why would you shit talk General Zod?

>>94168293
That doesn't make sense, but it's just goofy enough to be amusing.

Thanks, OP.

>>94171131
Uncle Eradicator

>>94171292
He could have two wives

>>94168257
Something about seeing Blanque holding his head in pain gives me joy.

>>94168293
This is basically like when Manta took over that organization just to fuck with Aquaman

>>94171131
>Eradicator is the Krypto of Zod family
So that's why he ate the dog

>>94168349
Krypto's a good boy.

>>94171266
It was fine.

>>94171131
Think he'll get jealous? Now Papa Zod will give Eradicator less attention because he'll be busy with his wife and child.

Jon vs Lor when?

>>94168349
Should've ripped his throat out with his kryptonian teeth.

But shoulder-butts him instead. Animal + human = idiot, pathetic, jokelike human fighting techniques.

>>94168332
>best boy is back
>but his hair sucks

DELETE

>>94173037
You made me think about Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? with how Krypto bit into Kryptonite Man's neck, killing him. That was a hardcore doggo

I don't understand why they didn't just bring Chris back the same. Just say the Nightwing entity protected him from time bullshit, easy-peasy. Hopefully he ends up hanging out with everyone eventually though

>in the Phantom Zone
>STILL no Mon-El

wtf

>>94170757
Wrong, he was great under Busiek too. His Action run was kind of iffy but decent for the mythology stuff. I don't know if Thara the way they brought her in was really necessary though.

>>94168257
so im guessing Metallo got rebooted from his ex-villain status?

>>94168276
>>94168293

This book is silver age as fuck.

>>94173249
Yeah, but he died in Truth iirc so I don't know if anyone on the creative side was too into the idea of him being reformed.

Love the art, Zircher is great

>>94173383
If you don't mind his alleged usage of Poser.

>>94173403
What do you mean

>>94172521
Doubt it. The Eradicator is likely going to serve as a replacement for Non. He will be an ever faithful servant of his King, Queen and Prince.

>>94171225
Ursa is the much older character, Faora was only added because of the movie Man of Steel.
Are you a big Man of Steel fan?

>>94173668
He doesn't actually care. It's simply that the actress is his waifu.

That said, actually Faora was created in Action Comics #471, May 1977 while Ursa was created for Superman The Movie the following year and didn't appear in comics until 2005.

so who just lost their HBO?

Only on E16. There's a Zod kid on E2 but I think he's just a relative and not a son.

>>94174576
>implying he'll actually be evil
>implying Zod won't get cucked yet again

lmao

After Jon heals Chris he will get another haircut r-right?

>>94168377
Kind of annoyed Lor had gone evil.

>>94170722
Yeah, makes marginally more sense than him being Pa Kent.

Either way it's Darth Vader as hell, though.

>>94170407
>It's OG pre-Crisis Kal-L, the old man Superman from way back when.

Didn't he die in Infinite Crisis?

>>94175059
Yeah but his body stayed in the main universe, in all the Flashpoint stuff he could obviously just come back to life.

Though the leak says it isn't him.

>>94175082
>Yeah but his body stayed in the main universe, in all the Flashpoint stuff he could obviously just come back to life.

This was fun. Thanks OP

>>94173744
>>94173814
Also worth mentioning that Faora was a villain on her own and had nothing to do with Zod beyond just being another Kryptonian criminal from the Phantom Zone.

IIRC her silver age incarnation was obsessed with murdering all men or something.

>>94176614
She appeared with zod is most of appreances.

>>94168370

So who's gonna free him? Metallo? Zod and Ursa by accident?

>>94168342
>Enjoy the trip, Metallo
He wasn't even doing anything. He's evil sure, and was trying to kill Superman, but they could use the help against Zod really.

>>94168357

So is Blanque dead?

>>94178094
Blanque is Jurgans new OC villain. I doubt he created him just to kill him off like this.

>>94173668
>>94173680

>This eager to talk shit and prove you know nothing

Damn

>>94179015
How was I wrong? Faorafags only care because of the actress.

So now that Chrisfags have been thrown a bone, who is left on suicide watch?

>Konfags
>CirElfags
>Lindafags (have they given up?)

>>94179093
Not him but the guy saying Ursa came first was inaccurate.
Yes I do love the actress but Iegitimately like the n52 arc with the character and am intrigued by the other incarnations. The misandrist 60s version and the atom disrupting human one that worked for the Russian Zod around the Our Worlds at War arc.

>>94179180

Wait CirElfags and Lindfags have hope still?

>>94179423
Why would anyone even want Linda back? Her story finished.

>>94168377
I like the whole evil super family as foils to clarks.

>>94179876
>Lor-Zod will put cats up trees,encourage people to jaywalk, and be rude to little old ladies

>>94178226
He's probably just unconscious or body hopped like Manchester

>>94179180
I'm convinced that Kon is basically guaranteed at this point to be in Oz's prison and Tim will resuce him. Then new Young Justice on-going.

>Oz is holding the entire Young Justice cast hostage to keep them out of the DCU.

I think I just figured out who Mr. Oz really is guys!

>>94169051
He was a nice kid-teen-person in general, on the average joe spectrum, and charm at times, when he was fun. Also wasn't annoying, despise being basically a God at his end, which often goes horrible writing wise.

>>94182938
Kon will definitely be back at some point. I just hope they do something interesting with him.

bumping for others

>>94173383
Can't forgive him for fucking up Kara a few issues back.

>>94173254
you're a casual, not everything high concept is "silver age"

>>94188008
He knows that if he disobeyed, Zod would kill his ass.
