Nice
Good
Awesome
It's not brand new. It is several years old. Free to play is only partly true as there are in game purchases. Hypothetically one could play without paying, but it can be challenging. I played this at the beginning of the pandemic when I had plenty of time during my furlough, but then I was called back to work months later.
Cool
As a DBZ fan, I'm honestly hoping this becomes the Gohan story we all wanted but just in the form of superman.
Gohan after marriage no but during cell saga... Hell ya
I really resonate with this comment
@@lukeanil1336 agreed. I would say gohan during beginning of buu saga or better yet gohan during second broly movie where he was mostly on his own.
As a DBZ fan, I full heartedly hope you're right
I LOVE GOHAN!!! MY FAVORITE
Anyone miss the old "Welcome to Variant, where we love comics more than..." intros?
Yes
No
Cheese
DEFINITELY
Definitely 😀
I’m loving this story. I like how as robin and Superman( Jon) grew up and still maintain their friendship.
Right? I never would’ve thought they’d be able to pull off having a compelling cheater in the son of Superman. But having him deal with the fact that he is human and kryptonian and that he should have more say on his planet is very interesting
They are "Brothers-In-Arms"
Ey, isn't damian way younger than him here though? After the whole spend years in space with grandpa isn't john an adult while damien is still like a child? Kinda makes the dynamic weirder doesn't it?
My main problem with this series is it feels forced like we jumped ahead a ton but now we have a decent Writer, whose trying to make adult John feel natural. I still see John as the kid from super sons because this is just a better written version of that "Bendis" Boy. I don't see this lasting due to the nature of comics but atleast it's well done. Also haven't Connor, Kara and New 52 all done the young adult superman thing?
Jon Kent never have a chance to grow up
If Martial Manhunter becomes a second father to Jon then I’d call this Dragon Ball Superman
Yes and i want it
I like how they explore Jon being his own superman just wish we explored Jon growing up to get to this point instead of aging him up but that’s just me
Totally agree …..if they did I ….the comic won’t bother me as much

No, that's not just you lol It's literally everybody. Everybody hates how Bendis handled Jon
Exactly! This storyline should be given to Supergirl & John should be growing up with Damian.
@@berniet1215 or Connor Kent
Title: "Jon Kent Proves He's The Son Of Kal-El" Jon: Lemme just pull out my birth certificate real quick
Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern protecting the Earth and Aliens trying to take it over, yeah it's only going to be in a attempt
I'm not against current issues being depicted in comic books, so long as the heroes aren't presented as having all the answers or the only solution. The writers are going to have to be very careful as to how someone as powerful as Clark or Jon solves a problem, as it could lead to the world of the Justice Lords rather than the Justice League.
Yeah I agree. If they explore a part where Jon is told to go do something to deal with a crisis or an issue and when it's fixed it results in an equally bad problem that would make a lot of sense. I'd be very impressed if they author tackled it that way, like he doesn't have all the answers to the world so he couldn't write a book on it but he could definitely explore how some issues impact others.
Yes.
That balance is going to be interesting to watch. I hope the difference and struggle between helping people/the world in a meaningful way and simply ruling them as benevolent ruler comes up as a story thread during this.
Luckily this looks like it's Jon wrestling with the fact that he _doesn't_ have all the answers and the fallout of doing what he personally feels is the right thing to do.
The fact that Superman was created as an answer to the rise of anti-semitism and fascism of their time shows the true intentions of the creators of Superman to address current issues.
Part of me feels bad that I legitimately use this channel to read comics instead of reading them myself. Guess I'll use it to let me know which comics I want to buy
hey dw you aren’t the only one lol
Some of us just don't have the time i buy the stories I really love to read and the rest I'll either watch or get to em in a year or so once they put them on an app or something. There's just too much content nowadays

Jon Kent: I am the true son of Kal-El Conner Kent: am I some kind of joke to you.
Conner is a clone...and originally he wasn't even a clone of Superman

Well Jon is the true Son of Kal-El. Connor is a clone.
Actually, this is the first time I’ve cared for Jon Kent as the new Superman. I think this gives us a fresh take on the guy that I feel writers usually give too much of a “child-like” quality or entirely too much strength/plot armor. I thoroughly enjoyed this
I like clarks points bout earth being Jon's world. It continues the "I hate being different " aspect of Clark that has been told in different incarnations. Cause no matter what Clark will always be an outsider to a degree. Where as Jon is a son of earth but with kryptonian abilities.
"More powerful than fate" reminds me of when he pushed back trigon in deceased deadl planet
Just proves that Wondy & Bats were right about Jon becoming the greatest hero of DC

They have but none have been like Jon Kent, even Connor, though I agree it’s strange considering Connor is a character
@Will N I still like Connor over Jon and don't like the way Connor's getting crapped on with losing his powers.
Just when I needed something to watch, Variant comes in clutch!
agreed.

You all know this on the internet. There's lots of things to watch.

I don't like that they aged him up, but I do love seeing the hero that he is now
Yeah, the age up was supremely iditoic, but I suppose it's better than what they did to Wally's kids.
@@savagewolver8541 oh we can’t let Wally live without ruining his life can we
@@painvillegaming4119 Well, to be fair, they undid some of the damage from Heroes in Crisis. Granted, a lot of the stupid stuff that happened, Raven saying her father still loved her etc, but it's something.

This seems very promising, this might be an even greater Superman story simply because our protagonist finally has a complete mentor. Clark may have had Papa Kent but he had to learn his limitations and boundaries by himself. With Jon he has his father, cousin, uncle and damn near the entire Justice League and beyond to figure it out.
"Its too early to politicize this" I'm not familiar with this writer, but that didnt seem like subtle writing.
@Lujack Shaw I disagree. If it's consistent with their character it's perfectly fine. If T'Challa is dealing with something controversial, for example, I'd much rather his answer to be informed by his monarchist ideals.
@@driveasandwich6734 but it’s never like those characters. Maybe it’s just me but I’ve never read a green arrow comic in recent memory that really leans into the fact he’s really left leaning (or Hal being right leaning for that matter) it’s always these new characters as mouthpieces for the author
@@creed8712 I've seen some recent similar examples.
@@driveasandwich6734 Yeah, but this is consistent with both Clark and Jon
@@dasaiyantv8483 What exactly is inconsistent with them?
Regarding the scene where Jon kent saves the metahuman, it reminded me of Justice League: Gods and Monsters- it just had a very different outcome.
That was a great movie
DC: why aren't we selling comics DC:
?
I love how comic books can literally be anything and everything and their characters have to take on that situation at their own pace
I still miss Jon kent as his little 10 year old self and nothing would've made me happier but to see my boy grow up with both his parents clark kent and Lois lane and going to school and learning how to be a great hero naturally because that would've been awesome and way better then accelerating his aging to this point but that's just my opinion.
One I share😊👍
@@Leadeshipcoach thank you :)
Damn that bendis ruining Wally wasn’t enought for him
@@painvillegaming4119 technically bendis didn't write wally west that was tom king who did that to wally west but the good news is wally west is in way better place thanks to the current writer is doing a excellent job with wally being a great dad.

Jon Kent: I am the true son of Kal-El. Me: I am Kal-El
Huh?
@@mohamedabdullah654 I think he’s delusional. We might have to put him down
What do you mean?
I just adore that they bought in Damian. It shows that the Super Sons are still friends because it was vague in Teen Titans after Damian left a note for Jon and when Jon read it, he crumpled it up and flew off. We still don't know what's in the note. I was sad when that happened thinking they broke up the Super Sons but I'm glad they're still best friends!!
14:06 honestly, I like seeing real world issues being brought up in comics. It shows awareness and it shows us that those things would still happen with superhero’s around. Seeing real world problems be solved by a superhero makes me want to be a superhero even more. And I’ve wanted to be one ever since I was a little kid. It just makes me want to help and do my part. Like what Jon said at the beginning of the comic to Damian
I really like the way you summarize this interesting comic book into a story!
I really like the approach they're taking with this. Good stuff
Great read so far I’m digging the artwork and story I can respect the slow burn I just hope it continues to address real world issues in my opinion it’s needed….great review and I look forward to your next review of Marvels Dark Ages
It was an attempted is my new favorite joke
This channel is flippin INCREDIBLE 😁😁 n INCREDIBLY informative 😎
Wow! Very impressive breakdown of this storyline. I think I’m going to pick this up and follow the story myself. Thanks!
This seemed to be well written. I love the idea of this story. The whole fact of Superman admitting why he held back and why it should be easier for Jon to step up a little more makes sense. Superman could be seen as an invader forcing his well, but Jon is from earth and part human and everyone is aware of that apparently. This gives him some realistic responsibilities that we could relate to and wonder “how would Superman handle this”. It’s bigger than just punching the bad guy and that’s why this story intrigues me

Beautiful drawings and ideas!
As a person who loved the Supersons story I am happy that there is an older (kind of) version of that story of at least Jon. I can't wait to read it.
Love this, doing the things superman can’t do because he’s not from earth. Excited for more please !
Jonathan Lane Kent is alien due to his father's DNA. So he isn't full-blooded human. I wonder if Gohan is stronger than him

Jon Kent uniform looking really good. The added bit of red on the shoulders really balances it out while still making it look different than what Clark wears
I lost track when Heroes Reborn, Multiverse, 90210....ect. This is a story that even I can understand. I wish that you had all of it. It was getting good.
It really pains me to not support a Taylor book. Especially cuz this isn't actually bad. It's not great like his Nightwing run. But it's not bad. But...this still ain't my Jon. The Jon Kent I wanna read about died in Bendis' run.
I know right, that superboy and Robin was Gold!
Honestly, I'm not even worried about Robin right now. He's actually doing really good for himself. Especially after the nightmare that was his Teen Titans run (both of them). Jon is who I'm mourning. This new guy is...likable, I guess. But...he ain't Jon. And I just get kinda annoyed every time I see him lol

@@WannabeWryter Exactly. This ain't Jon. This is just a skinnier version of New 52 Clark. They even gave him the same damn costume. Everything that felt unique about this character is gone and not even Taylor's great writing can fix that.
@@Bag2218 John youthful inexperience was part of his character. Bendis Boy has all that and more. I just hope Tom doesn't do anything big with this version because I'm still praying for adult John to go the way of Ric Grayson. At this point we meet need two versions the young and the old version. Or maybe a retcon that it's not John at all but new 52 superboy.
One is caught up playing the impassioned protagonist in one’s Subjective Narrative of Self 🎈
well said sir the amount of obvious leftist SJW narrative in this story hurts my eyes.
Yes Sir! My guy is back to doing comic stories! Lit
Ima go buy these issues. I love the idea and execution of this.
Can you do history of DC's Shining Knight and Marvel's Black Knight? If you seen the recent episodes of season 7 of the Flash, can you do history of Impulse, XS, Psych, Fuerza, Steadfast, Chillblaine, Abracadabra, Rainbow Raider, Mirror Master and Top in your next video?
"Stupid borders" - it took Tom Taylor two issues, and one issue of Nightwing, to erase any benefit of the doubt I ever had for him. That's incredibly sad.
Nothing like a little political propaganda in our superhero comics

I like this! Keep it coming
So... I'm guessing this'll be the last Son of Kal-El video they're gonna make
We’re out of time to escape from “the crap that is reality”; Damian is speaking to us as much to Jon. It’s time for all of us to step up to help each other. The example here isn’t subtle nor should it be; we abdicate this responsibility at our own peril. The time for heroes is now; we can each be one by embodying the just actions of characters like Jon.
Well said
I like this series so far. It seems good and might check out the rest of it. Also Online college????? Maybe Jon could try that? Unless, he might have no time? It is understandable. As online school can be a little lonely if he likes interaction.
I need more Conner Kent, this ain’t fair
Agree, I don't get why they didn't use him instead of aging up John. Bendis aged him up from 10 to 17 in 3 week in a badly written story and DC decide to keep it going with him as the new Superman. That's My main problem with this series is it feels forced like we jumped ahead a ton but now we have a decent Writer, whose trying to make adult John feel natural. I still see John as the kid from super sons because this is just a better written version of that "Bendis" Boy. I don't see this lasting due to the nature of comics but atleast it's well done. Also haven't Connor, Kara and New 52 all done the young adult superman thing?
@@WannabeWryter I completely agree before I didn’t like Jon but this makes him feel a little different more interesting I still prefer Conner tho
Clark acting like he doesnt belong on earth or that earth isnt his home is super weird Clark loves the earth He wouldnt say it isnt his place to help or stay there Completelt out of character for a grown up clark kent to be saying stuff like that Also its like the story is implying superman hasnt done alot for other countries But pre new 52 superman gave up his american citzenship so he can go to other countries to help and not cuase international incidentes
yeah, tom taylor dropped the ball so bad in that, this series seems just wrong at some points
Clark feels like a helper, not a leader and I kinda get it.
I thought since he's ab alien despite how much he loves earth he tries to stay out of a lot of things that aren't world threatening
I think the current arc in Action Comics, where Clark finds kryptonians in Warworld and supposedly will go to space with them, will tie into his disassociation from humanity he feels in works like this one, that take place after it.
Usually not a fan of the children from original characters But I like this
Love your channel.
If Superman restored Kandor to its original size, do you think Jon-Kent would grow up in that city instead of anywhere on planet Earth?
OMG I LOVE THIS DIRECTION! Mini Supes isn't limited on using his powers as insinuated by S Pops. He held back cause of alien origin and empowers his son...his EARTH born son to be the change minus my (Supes) reservations. He (Jon) can now invest in his true home world 🌎 ...PLUS comics. Now new generations can have a Superman...Super Peraon...Super...um...dude while WE can continue to patrion our original Kryptonian. 😀😁😆😇😊🤩😍
Person I mean.
Held back because he is a alien…….that just stupid since half the league are aliens

@@coledepolis4541 because you got to have guns are bad arguments
That was a great story and great dialog.
I liked how he didn’t throw a punch in the 1st issue, and use compassion.
I agree that this series is going to be divisive. First, count me as someone who wants his entertainment to be escapist. Second, I really hope the author isn't going to say "We know right from wrong and Jon is going to enforce what's right". If that happens, Jon is going to be like a super powered version of Woodrow Wilson. He'll be loved by those who agree with him and absolutely despised by those who don't. To paraphrase Dolly Parton, it's not smart to piss off half your audience. Finally, I'm an old guy who's been following Superman since I was a toddler. I really just want the hero I grew up with. I don't mind if Jon is Superboy and has adventures with the Legion. But, I really want Clark to be Superman, work for the Daily Planet etc.
Couldn't have said it better myself SIR...
Agreed. Glad I watched, BEFORE I bought.
9:48 there’s actually a really good explanation for that, about why doesn’t Superman just make the world perfect. So there’s this one comic where Batman trades powers with Superman, so Bruce, with his newly found powers, plans to make the world perfect/the best it can be. So Batman does everything that he can and makes the world great, but at the end, he goes insane, with the lack of and alter ego where he can do normal things and not be a superhero all day and night, Batman goes insane… that’s how I remember it, if you want to know more I think “The Real Comic Book Gamer” brought it up in his review of this series
Absolutely, also, superman can’t force every single person to do the right thing.
Because Superman doesn't want to impose his will on others, despite having the power to do so. That's what tyrants do. People writing this trite nonsense would do that in a heartbeat. Because they're weak and arrogant.
@@Psycorde we already have a story we’re superman does that it called injustice didn’t go very well for superman I believe
I'm very interested in seeing how this all plays out.
After all the experimentation, Superman's original suit with the golden S on the cape and the red trousers is the absolute best version
I love Damian and Jon. I like this story structure, where clark is a father and teaching his young son.
So apparently Jon isn't missing out on any of the powers of Supes 🙂 and he for whatever reason might be more powerful in the future. Also them on the moon having the father son talk was soooo epic 😀. All John needs now is to train with Batman so that he can be an expert at combat aswel in case he ever loses his powers or he just wants to be an overall better fighter than pops.
That talk on the moon was stupid.

@@incogspectator3042 Superman lived his entire life on earth. He not really a immigrant. Him saying that he feels like a outsider on earth and that's why he doesn't interfere more is stupid.

Two, I'm not a fan of Jonathan Kent saying he knows what's best for the world after being a hero for like two seconds. Then he completely missed the point on why Superman has all the power in the world and doesn't take advantage of it. He let's people have the freedom to live how they want to. Jonathan Kent is going to be a future tyrant. If you can't see that then I don't know what else to say to ya.

@@mr.dccomics9018 Superman is the most trusted hero in the US. Your comment reeks of the typical American exceptionalism. Superman is a very flawed character in his own right because the world is not black and white. There's a reason why Batman who lives in the gray area does better in every medium. I agree with you on Jon but this idea that these heros, any for that matter is somehow perfect is naive.
Can you do history of Doc Octopus, Rhino, Sandman, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Morbius. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?
It’s awesome can’t wait to see more
I think Jon needs some history classes to understand borders
What do you think is the best thing about this comic book event and who do you think is the best character?
Could we get a series of episodes talking about the power set of members of Justice Legion A? They seem to be similar to their regular justice league counterparts but different and it's not really been done in any other KZhead channel 🤔
I liked these 2 back to back episodes..
"Stupid borders" Im afraid comics will become too woke :/
Really? so is this what really bothers you? Recently marvel made iceman gay so that killed my interest in X-Men among doing other things in marvel comics, with new/old/returning characters so I like to read old Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Archie Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Mildstone, Vertigo, etc things were calmer back then💁🤦
To late
@Lujack Shaw or how about no political pandering whatsoever for children AND adults then there will be no problem! Comics no matter which ones are something people use to read on their free time and to escape all the political nonsense and craziness going on in the world no one wants to read that in fictional stories ugh 😑!!!!
@Lujack Shaw Dude theres nothing wrong with sharing stories with a girl and a guy kissing, but suddenly when it's 2 guys it's scandalous?

Tired of the forced politics in comics and DC Comics media. I wouldn't mind it so much if they made the heroes unbiased and I guess it really depends on the writers political affiliation but it's literally inescapable today since EVERYTHING is so politically charged. Like where do we catch a break from it if not from comics, movies, and TV? I hear from others "if you don't like it then don't read/watch it". That's not the point I'm making. DC Comics used to be my most favorite brand of comics to read and growing up as a kid reading them they didn't focus on all of this political bs. They focused on the heroes, the villains and individual relationships and growth while making a cohesive story. Today it's more about flair, politics, and gender/sexual orientation reveals. The villain is usually someone with political influence that oppose the political viewpoint of the heroes/writers. If DC Comics stopped politicizing their media and comics and their heroes remained unbiased in their comics then they'd have a much larger audience. Unfortunately they don't, so their only audience is those the politics targets. Not a good business strategy in my opinion especially when you're trying to profit from the material you come out with.

Real life problems should be sometimes included and discussed in comics, definitely, but in the meantime the story must be kept clean from real life narratives and political ideologies, and should not be turned into the form of pure liberal leftist SJW propaganda cringefest BSh like it happeend with this one sadly
The problem is people don’t know how to send a message without being preachy and annoying…..there litterly changing stuff about almost 100 years old super heros
@@justafloridamanfromthe75thRR somebody told well …..having political sin comics isn’t a bad thing ……having you own political is……it just feel like there using hero’s as mouth pieces rather then heros
@@painvillegaming4119 well those comics were written for their time so it makes sense to write comics for the current time. That's how stories have been told for centuries. The problem is societies problems now consist of a lot of noise that you need to cut through.
I just hope they make him 10 years old again
They gave him the Superman title and a solo ongoing book, 10 years old Jon will never return. Accept.
@@jprodrigues8906 never say never.
Bendix was a Superman villain while he was running Stormwatch. If, at any point, they channel 'The Wild Storm' maxi into this, it OWNS me for LIFE.
My main problem with this series is it feels forced like we jumped ahead a ton but now we have a decent Writer, whose trying to make adult John feel natural. I still see John as the kid from super sons because this is just a better written version of that "Bendis" Boy. I don't see this lasting due to the nature of comics but atleast it's well done. Also haven't Connor, Kara and New 52 all done the young adult superman thing?
Hi, could you please do a origin for the forgotten symbiotes (phage,lasher,etc) thank you.
I feel like this is a good move for comics, it makes it more grounded on the present day. Remember that back then Comics brought hope during the WW, now it can bring hope in a new era with complex issues that need to be adressed. It did a great balance of not getting too political, but just enough for us to understand the context and bringing badass actions to it.
I don’t think the way they addressed the “political issues” were very subtle at all. Like many others in the comments. Im skipping this one.
Just say the words “SUPERMAN HAS BECOME WOKE”
Yeah we gotta call him supernon binary and title change supernon binary offspring of kal-el and wonder woman = wonderles and batwoman = batles
