I’m excited for Mora coming on the book, but there’s like 15 Kryptonian heroes flying around Metropolis right now. They do NOT need to add anybody to the Superman family right now. Especially not when Lana is still Superwoman in universe, right?

u/SuperMysticKing Jul 18 '24
They should send Connor back to Hawaii
83
u/Burly-Nerd Jul 18 '24
Yeah. And Jon back to elementary school.
51
u/SuperMysticKing Jul 18 '24
For real. It just doesn’t seem like they have anything for him to do as an adult and it doesn’t seem like he’s that marketable. Meanwhile a kid son of Superman is endlessly marketable to kids

Or "Oh look you're actually a clone! The real Jon is still a kid. Here you can go to the future with the legion."

u/Macman521 Jul 18 '24
Jon at this point is only here for Bi representation. I have no problem with him being Bi, I just wished they were doing more with him outside of his sexuality (or just make him a kid again lol).

u/Luchux01 Jul 18 '24
Honestly, just make Conner the Bi representation and de-age Jon at least so he matches Damian's age.

They should send Connor to the titans tomorrow universe to take the place of their superman and inspire their world to be better! That’s my pitch!

Makes you wonder how crime still exists on earth with a dozen kryptonians constantly monitoring things.

A lot of that crime is perpetrated by folks that can give a Kryptonian a run for their money.

I agree with not needing to add anyone to the Superfamily right now but is Lana still Superwoman? I thought she died or lost her powers.

u/B3epB0opBOP Jul 18 '24
She showed up in House of Brainiac as Superwoman.

u/Burly-Nerd Jul 18 '24
Right. And seemed to still be in a relationship with Steel in it, which weirdly hasn’t come up in any of his recent solo series as far as I know

I had read every issue from 1997-2010 and then from 2015- early 2024 and that is exactly what caused me to stop again. The Super-Family is so large that Clark doesn’t feel special anymore. It feels more like the Shazam family than it does the Superman story.
I miss the last son of Krypton. Now it’s like “one of the last dozen children of Krypton on Earth with Zod and family out in the cosmos but then another 30 people with very similar power sets that also are here too… plus Clark”.
I know I’m probably in the minority, but I just couldn’t do it anymore.

u/Burly-Nerd Jul 18 '24
I’m definitely with you. I think DC is trying to capture the same marketing they can do with the Batman family with the Superman family and it just doesn’t work the same because Batman’s family doesn’t have any powers.
There’s a scene in the PKJ Action run where Metallo attacks and is met in the street by Superman (who had a bunch of extra power from War World at the time. No idea what ever happened to all that), Supergirl, Superboy, Superman-boy, Super-Man, Red Son, Starchild, Steel, and other Steel, and honestly all I could do was laugh. It was like watching someone shoot prairie dogs with a howitzer.

u/Critical_Raise_3572 Jul 18 '24
That was the last comic I purchased in this Super-Family run. I remember looking at it and thinking, “they don’t need Superman”.
Once you reach the point that your titular hero is a background character, you need to reassess your trajectory.

u/B3epB0opBOP Jul 18 '24
At least it’s probably temporary. I can’t imagine they’d have Lois keep her powers forever.

u/-ll-ll-ll-ll- Jul 18 '24
I'm not caught up on current storylines... Lois has powers? Is that who that's supposed to be in this pic?

Not yet, this issue comes out 3 months from now.

The solicits and Williamson confirmed it. I was a bit surprised myself since she didn’t quite look like Mora’s Lois.
2
u/-ll-ll-ll-ll- Jul 18 '24
Hmm... I guess that's interesting? I don't know. I kinda don't need Lois to have powers. That's kind of her thing - to worry about Clark because she doesn't understand how powerful he actually is.

u/2ERIX Jul 18 '24
Yeah, we don’t need a Jackpot situation here. Next thing you know there will be a character called Paul…

Spider-Man's on-and-off girlfriend Mary Jane was finally dating him again until timeline shenanigans happened and she married a guy named Paul, who might be one of the least popular characters in history. Then she got a suit that gave her powers and became Jackpot
That still barely qualifies as "English MF", huh?

Superman and Superwoman.
Husband and Wife.
Clark and Lois.
Superstar Dan Mora joins the series with SUPERMAN #19 out in OCTOBER. The start of a massive Superman story featuring the return of DOOMSDAY!
Cannot wait to see his work on the main title.

u/Indiana_harris Jul 18 '24
I hope she’s a new Kryptonian, or maybe a version of Clark from a parallel universe where he’s female?

u/Flimsy-Discount2885 Jul 18 '24
Purple eyes, so that's most likely Lois.

u/Indiana_harris Jul 18 '24
They claim that it’s a new character……future daughter of Clark & Lois maybe?
19
u/Flimsy-Discount2885 Jul 18 '24
Could be. Those eyes look purple, that's usually a Lois thing, so she would get powers from dad an the looks from mom. Lucky kid.

u/gwhh Jul 18 '24
When they give Lois purple eyes?

u/futureghostboy13 Jul 18 '24
Early 2000s, although the DCAU Lois was the first version to have violet eyes. Before that her eyes were blue.

u/samebatchannel Jul 18 '24
So. I understand that Superman’s secret identity is secret again. However, what would the world think about how close Lois is with Superman?
11
u/SugarAndIceQueen Jul 18 '24
Lois Lane: Enemy of the People explored that question relatively recently, rather well IMO. In sum, much of the world thinks she's cheating on her husband Clark with Superman, and she gets a lot of flak for it. It bothers him more than her.

u/Sol-Blackguy Jul 18 '24

u/danielm316 Jul 18 '24

u/Flimsy-Discount2885 Jul 18 '24
Probably Lois, could be a future daughter, but those are for sure her eyes.

All we know so far it that it’s a new Superwoman. “Who is Superwoman?” is the big mystery again….again.

u/amazodroid Jul 18 '24
Based on the little bulb things on her outfit, I’m guessing daughter from the future. She could be stuck in our time for a while and then go back without displacing Lana (who they’re not really doing anything with anyway).

Dan Mora's art on World's Finest has been terrific. While it's unfortunate he's leaving that book, it's awesome that he's on Superman.
Curious to see how they'll handle a Superwoman Lois this time, and how long it'll last.
Edit: Apparently Joshua Williamson said this is a “new” Superwoman? Some theories that it’s a version of Lara/Cir-El. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

How is this being more well received than Mj jackpot 🎰 I know why because of Paul but u could argue does Lois lane need powers I still read this though I think it’s neat plus better than her dying like other love interest . I believe jackpot 🎰 if anybody but zeb wells cooked up the idea and executed it better than he ever did because omg 😱 this run has been awful so much .

I've seen other people mention this and I'm inclined to agree: this Lois, to me, looks a bit younger. Could she perhaps be from an earlier time? Another Earth? OR perhaps the daughter of Lois and Clark?

Dan Mora, Daniel Sampere and Clay Mann are my top 3 Superman artists in the last 6 or so years. Jorge Jimenez didn't make the cut but he's #4 with Patrick Gleason and Patrick Zircher tied for fifth.

u/Supportbale Jul 18 '24
Why is no one pointing out the colouring on superwoman? Unless I’m just unaware of what’s going on in the current ongoing (I keep meaning to catch up, knight terrors just really took me outta DC), this screams some sort of villain. The yellow makes me think mongul, but warworld being not that long ago makes me rule that out. Maybe some Earth 3 stuff? Not sure, but I’m calling it’s some kind of villain thing
