IMAGE GALLERY
Ugh, Jon looks like Superboy Prime. Also, what is even the point of having Jor-El still being alive and acting like a jerk?
I really need to catch up on the current comics. But wow, it looks like there’s a lot for me to catch up on. I still haven’t read action comics 1000 yet and I’m many months behind the Superman series. Probably almost a year if I had to guess. The problem I have with being behind is that there’s alot different titles to read.
G&^^@##!T BENDIS!!!! I knew, I F#$%^& KNEW you were gonna pull some $#!+ like this!!! WHY! WHY wwould you go and &$#% with Jon like this? Nobody wants a Jon that is an angsty teenager with anger issues and this looks like that’s exactly what happened. You suck Bendis.
So Jon is a teenager now? Man I really need to catch up.
From the look on this image of Jon as teenage Superboy, I’ve got a bad feeling that something bad will happen to Jon. I really hope that I’m wrong.
Well… Shike. I guess we were right when we assumed that Bendis would cuck Jonathan into obscurity.
Let the hate mail begin. Or just say it to him on his Twitter page. ;p
