First - I don't know about the leaks for #5, so I have no idea what's coming (and don't want to know).I'm enjoying this series more than I expected to. It's a coming of age for Jon with the added twist of coming into his own as the new Superman while dealing with the problems his father left behind by revealing his identity. Of course, that compounds the consequences he's created for himself. The dynamic between him and the Gamorra president is reminiscent of Clark's with Luthor, but with global...
8/10
Was a cool issue getting to see Jon with the Justice League. I really enjoyed those moments and the moment at the end where Jon let this new villain know what's up but rushing in? Not so smart. Things will get interesting from here on out.
Maybe 3.5 stars but rounding it up seems too generous. Things escalate pretty quickly on a few levels after Superman Sr.'s departure. But too much is going on in this issue for my liking. Some moments are great (like Jon and Wally and Jon and Lois) while others feel rushed and underdone (revelations about Jay). The best thing for me about this issue is that we finally see the fallibility of Jon. Young, inexperienced, idealistic to a fault. He was beginning to come off as too perfect.
So by now the world has read all about the leaked plot details of Issue #5 and sales for this series have gone off the hook!But what of Issue #1 to #4.Nothing particularly revolutionary ...and for all the new books and series this one isn't even a top pick, although it is good and with the big twist in issue #5 and writer Tom Taylor's desire to focus on more real world problems I expect this series could be really great and different.

Great, almost perfect, issue. The only reason I can't give this a 5 is because of the art; a lot of times it's fine, but God, the faces especially are ugly as hell, so much so that I wasn't as immersed as I was in the last issue, or even the 2 before it.
Not a huge fan of the art style change because I absolutely LOVE the art in the previous issues but the story is still perfect
4'5 stars!
LOVED.
Why is DC lampooning Superman? More hideous and ugly art, story ok Wow. I didn’t think the art could get worse, but it has. Could DC be purposefully undermining this series by selecting artists that degrade it with their work? The storyline and writing seem to be standard comic fare, but the art - both by (shudder) Timms and (shudder x 2) Di Nicuolo - seems to be pure camp. The art is clearly not taking the story seriously. Worse, it’s as if the artist is trying to lampoon a Superman caricature....
Art style kinda looking funky, but interesting development.
Not my favorite so far. Don't love the new art style. It still was good.
I love this series.
Taylor reintroduces the Aerie and Wink from his Suicide Squad 12-issue run. They are from Gamorra (there was some origin story in Suicide Squad) and the villain in this Superman Son of Kal-El seems to be the President of Gamorra, so it checks. It was an interesting issue, dymanic and moving forward.
