Superman: Son of Kal-El #16

Taylor's greatest strength in this book is the emotional punch he can get out of small moments, and while the timeline of this issue is a little hard to grasp at first, it comes together brilliantly. Read Full Review

This issue is something close to perfect, laying the groundwork for what's to come while reminding readers about why we love these characters so much in the first place. I cannot wait to see what comes next. Read Full Review

The Supermen are reunited. This is a near perfect issue, and I hope the future holds more like this. Read Full Review

Superman: Son of Kal-El delivers on its promise to bring back Kal-El while affirming Jon Kent's incredible heart and caring for everyone. For those reasons, plus some slick art as usual, this is a good issue that shouldn't be missed as we transition to a new direction for Jon Kent's Superman. Read Full Review

Superman: Son Of Kal-El #16 gives everyone the reunion theyve been waiting for. Taylor hits all the right notes with this one, building to the moment well while also setting up the rest of this story arc. Tormey, Coleman, and Fajardo Jr. give readers the kind of wonderful art theyve come to expect from this comic. All in all, another great effort from this creative team. Read Full Review

Overall, this was a solid issue as Taylor nears the conclusion of the series. Read Full Review

Tom Taylor is at his best when digging into the heart and who of these characters, and that's on display here, even if the issue feels a little like a pause or a spacer as this series winds to a close. Read Full Review

This issue at least had some solid scenes I enjoyed. The opening flashback, the Lex scene, and the reunion with Clark all had a nice punch. And the book looks really nice. Only two more issues though. Read Full Review

I don't think anyone will be satisfied with the father/son reunion we get here, but we do set up a new Superman: Son of Kal-El story that hopefully will be exciting. Mostly, Jon just going through this book like it's a montage of "Superman" things leaves a lot to be desired.   Read Full Review

I caught up on this title because of its crossover with Action. It's frankly a bit obnoxious that these titles are crossover, so far, in the vaguest sense possible. But anyway, this was solid. The people who are rating this so low are mentally handicapped, and we should support their self-expression, but keep that brainrot in mind.

Personally wasn't really a fan of the art. The faces really looked weird at some points. And the reveal with the villain, Taylor seems to be going for meta commentary again much like he did in his X-Men red book and personally it doesn't work for me for the same reason it didn't work there, Taylor is not really good at doing meta commentary.

The art on this issue was bad as usual. They really need to learn how to draw faces. Turn to pages 7-8 to view the faces of Lois and Jon, their faces seem to be some sort of elongated elf face type. Then there is the horrible writing where they make Lex Luthor more likeable and a better citizen than Jon. Taylor points out that Jon has no respect for the law such as trespassing and or break and entering. Which just goes to show that he has no concept about the actual ideals or character archetype of Superman.

The real Superman was someone that put others before himself and was someone others could look up to. This whole series Jonathan has been nothing more than an entitled brat. Between that and the terrible art, I guess there’s no real mystery as to why this series is being canceled.
