Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #2

This has been a very great surprise. Not a total shock considering the talent behind the pages, but it's been a better and stronger read than I anticipated. The cliffhanger ensures the thrills have only just begun. Read Full Review

This second issue is brilliant, brutal, and deeply addictive. This is storytelling at its finest. Read Full Review

This run is only six issues, likely wrapping up Tom Taylor's Jon Kent series, and what an adventure it is. Read Full Review

Despite a narrative misstep in the ending, Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #2 delivers emotion, tragedy, and a top-notch superhero battle that absolutely has me looking forward to seeing where this story will take its hero next. Read Full Review

All in all, the issue really amps up the stakes of the series. The twist at the end is enough to leave any Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent reader desperate for more, especially after Jon just watched a version of his father commit murder. If Jon needs to learn the reality of being a legacy hero, he is about to learn the downsides too. Read Full Review

The first issue got me pretty interested in this even though it goes big quickly and that's usually not my jam unless it's a limited project. This one has some solid character material and fun action stuff with a cost to it but I love the little nods, such as Val mentioning there aren't many universes with Jon this age and one of them that he saw was the DCeased timeline. Small stuff like that just delights. But the larger work here is strong and I'm really curious to see where Taylor goes with it next. Henry's artwork is fantastic and the sense of power that comes from the fight in just a few panels is beautifully done, especially with the color design applied. I'm excited to see more.

Where the series goes after Adventures Of Superman: Jon Kent #2 will be intriguing. It hints at a lot, not just Jon's dealing with “Injustice” Superman but also powers he can't really control. There's also questions that remain about Ultraman, Val-Zod, and so much more. While the debut dragged a bit, the second issue is a solid ride. Read Full Review

Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #2 ends the two-parter on a shocking but satisfying note. Jonathan has some great character moments and there are surprises galore. Though theres a huge plot hole in leaving Jay Nakamura out of the action, I enjoyed the book and look forward to seeing what happens next. Read Full Review

Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #2 is a fast, action-packed ride with a cool ending. Taylor does some good character stuff, and the art team makes it all look wonderful. Read Full Review

Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #2 definitively (or as definitively as it can in comics) ends the conflict between Jon Kent and Ultraman with a one-on-one fight across the multiverse. Henry and Bellaire's art sings, and the emergence of Jon's new (old?) Electric Blue Superman powers look great. However, the fight's ending will either be loved or hated. Read Full Review

Jon clearly has quite a journey ahead of him. I hope that the creative team can turn it into something more interesting than the swerve we got here. Read Full Review

But most importantly, will I care? I sound more down about this than I am. The character moments really do shine.  Read Full Review

There's simply too little to the individual issues of Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent so far to make them read like a substantial development in a serialized narrative, which makes the connection to a story composed of brief, digital installments make more sense. Read Full Review

I wasn't expecting anything that happened in this issue, and this fact alone deserves a great rating.

Pretty good issue with good writing. I like the Easter eggs and the fights in this issue. I do wish the fight was longer and ultra man was not taken out.

Don't know how I feel about sense of closure for Jon in relation to Ultraman but the finale rocked hard for me.

Man, this book is two-for-two on having a good ending. However, I will say this one's ending is better. Not sure how I feel about Ultraman getting his neck snapped out of nowhere like that, but good lord was it done well. Plus, as I alluded to earlier, Injustice Superman's final words of the issue were fantastic. As for the rest of the book, I enjoyed the conversation between Jay and Lois, as it gave a look into what it's like for the both of them in being with a superhero. This was just solid, good stuff all around.

Or some people just don't like how the fight ended? There's been chatter about wanting an Ultrman confrontation since the age up, so it doesn't surprise me that a number of reviews aren't satisfied with how this turned out.

Dan really needs to crackdown on review bombing on this site. It's ridiculous, and unearned. Join my Discord, if you want to chat about comics or whatever: https://discord.gg/xJz6buvNFZ

I wish you could block users and not have their scores factored into the average you see, but that's probably too complicated.

Yeah idk if that would be feasible to implement

I was hoping for a Jon Vs. Ultraman showdown... And Ultraman was killed in the second issue by another character...

This issue was cool but nothing special. But I rate it 10 just to counterbalance the homophobes.
