I must bring forward that I was relunctant on how Bendis started his run on Superman, but I mut admit that his run has been quite satisfying so far. Up to know, it brought us two or three seemingly imposible developments.
In the first place, it recovers the classical teenager Superboy we all loved from the past. In this case, in the form of Jon Kent, Clark’s son, who is taken to space by his grandfather and grows at a different time speed that the one the rest of the characters move on Earth.
If you didn’t read the story, you might have noticed a word in the previous sentence that made some noise to you: grandfather. Yes, Jor-El also appears in this story, taking an unsuspected role. Read the story guys…
In second place, Kal fights alongside his long time enemy, General Zod, and makes peace with him. Again, something we never expected to see.
And as a final touch, Superman revealed his secret identity to the world. It might have seemed a cheap trick, but the specials Superman: Heroes and Superman: Villains, are some of the best Superman comics I read in the last years, showing us show how the Big Blue affects the people around him. Really good Superman material, guys!
