Bendis should really stop making superheroe-stories.
The whole artificially aging a kid BS is a fan-fiction trope by now. And a really dumb one to boot.
Bendis is literally throwing away years of possible character development for a short shock moment that has been seen before.
His DC work has been solid, like most hyperbolic detractors I doubt you're following it much past memeing in storytimes and shitposting.
Serious Mode: hasn't reaction to aging up Jon/essentially destroying Clark's family life and the dull Roger Zuul villain OC been so negative, it essentially tanked Bendis's sales compared to what came before? What does DC think of all that?
No
I've read all of his DC so work so far
None of what OP said is hyperbolic
Fuck off, Bendis.
Bendis' sales have been dropping for a while now. DC hasn't said anything on it yet, but things aren't looking good on that end.
Well taking it on its merits, it's more than one single shocking moment. It *is* characterization and fairly interesting characterization at that. He lived crazy adventures in space, not unlike Superboy with the Legion, but with a madman tutoring him, yet came out with his moral compass intact. Writers, Bendis now and whomever else down the road, can fill those years in with their own stories or interpretations as they see fit. It was only like 3-4 years and some of the obsession with baby Jon feels a little creepy. The stories were a bit saccharine and one note, they worked for like 3 yrs, but this story pushed the narrative forward.
Why is DC doing this? I don’t understand. Things were going so well and then Bendis comes and fucks everything. Someone explain to me what the fuck is going on
Oh wow thanks for the update and what do you expect them to say, pray tell?
They don't want us to have wholesome things.
Kara had a hard life, as much as comics want to portrait Superman as this alien disconnected of humanity is Kara the one who feels more isolated from everyone.
She is the one who can't keep her human friends, the one with actual memories from Krypton, and once she get to earth she doesn't get to hang around Clark her only living relative instead she bounces from story to story without an actual place to call home.
She can´t even relate to Clark as a fellow Kryptonian because he didn't really lived there.
>but this story pushed the narrative forward.
Holy shit, no it didn't. If anything, it's set us back another decade or two. Fuck off, Bendis.
they go with artifically aging them because they want to age the kids without aging the people around them
its stupid and makes it harder for people to grow with characters
>and what do you expect them to say, pray tell?
Jackshit. They'll double down until the cancer metastasizes to unholy degrees and then they'll call Johns back in to apply mass chemotherapy to try and save them. Again.
Well he lived some crazy adventures for about less that a year and then got kidnapped inside a volcano for years. Bendis took away any potential stories of Jon in space.
>it's set us back another decade or two
What did you mean by this, also who is "us?" You and Jon?
Actual comic readers, you drooling Bendisfag mongoloid.
You're so exasperatingly dramatic you can't communicate like a normal person, which is telling. How does this set "you" back decades?
You're dealing with a shotafag. They're barely people to begin with.
Not that shota dude but what’s the point of aging Jon up to a teen if you’re just going to bring Conner back? It would’ve been nice to get more moments with jon and Kara where she would teach him stuff about his fathers culture, give her a connection to home by sharing it with her little brother
