My true thoughts of "SUPERMAN SON OF KAL-EL # 5"

Hello comic fans and lovers of humbling reads,                                                                                   I just want to say here on my on blog that I've tried to get many people into reading more and more as best that I know how to, besides watching television and movies or even playing games rather video or card ones or even traditional ones like tag or football or baseball it seems that we cannot be able to completely challenge ourselves because of how everyone rather of late wants to place us in a state of uncertainties.  We all as people should be no matter what be trying our every day best of living our lives by not letting the outside world become our only hope to be experiencing existence... okay I sort of had to be open on my feelings about how the whole planet is acting haywire and in no matter what I do I know that you my readers have your own views of what way your life experiences take you in and hey that's great,  just promise me as much as possible that you are dealing with this world wide pandemic called Covid-19 the best way of an answer is for you.  This past Wednesday was New comic book day and besides dealing with the issue of Jonathan Kent's latest issue here's.           


 what I also got! An yes later on over this weekend I will admit be reviewing those others seen alongside SUPERMAN SON OF KAL-EL number five.                                                                  Now before we get into this very issue I am almost certain that everyone who is a comic fan or not has heard from either through the  news or the internet that the world's oldest comic super hero called Superman is now defined by his sexual identity/sexual preference, rather than by his definition of he is helping everyone with his choices of being a honorable hero. In fact Superman wasn't the first Decetevice Comics super hero to be dealt this very demeanor of being defined this way in fact it was one of Batman's many known Robin's who they made be the first hero to be reaching for very impossible idea of referenced by this unhealthy strategy of story telling of what is the meaning of being a hero... It's not Dick Grayson the original Robin that was treated to this very revealing push of identity go to, nor was but it could have been better understood coming from Jason Todd's version of Robin who now goes by the identity of the Red Hood. No the one who was reduced to benefit from this weak stomach telling point is the third major Robin who took on the mantle of "The Boy Wonder" that's the monkier of the character. It has also been put out there that Decetevice is gonna make Aquaman current iteration will be showing this dumbed down arc as well as Wonder Woman's current lore too.                        Your asking me along with yourselves why the heck is Decetevice Comics doing this with their characters of making them essentially WOKE ( I will very soon have a positive definition of the continuational culture use of this very word, I promise!),  As to the reasoning of why Decetevice Comics is doing this with well established comic characters is not just because they are telling us that we are outdated with excitement and fantasy elements of what made these characters great like a mystery in space battles gets new villains or a villain whose wanting to dump the hero in search of their identities by knocking them out so hard that they have amnesia till hero can find saintly again.  Those are just two examples of great stuff that should be in a monthly comic along with always great art. The one thing that I keep thinking of  most of all is why isn't there at least a bit of Frederic Wertham a psychiatrist whom thoughts of Violence,  Crimes, and of course the topic of Sexual Permissiveness  shouldn't be shown or spoken of in literature being sold to children. I  know that both Decetevice Comics and Marvel comics had decided back in early two thousand that they didn't have need for what was known as the Comic Code Authority which meant that everyone who was involved with comics had to abide by set rules.                                                                                                                                                    With the way things are right now in the world I know that making monetary gains in money is always essential for certain,  but to have comics being destroyed by creators who only want to push their influences on the youth of the world is just beyond sickness of anything.  Are parents wanting their children to be promoted to not having a huge humbleness towards tolerance of every kind and make the best sense of getting choices out life? Or do parents wanting the governments as they are right now saying your own minds of your offspring are ours to control? I meant to include those two questions in this entry not for my given take on political matters as I see them, but to let it be known that a certain comic writer Tom Taylor seems to be pushing his view point of plotical movtaitions in the current issue of Superman Son of Kal-el.                                                              When I was getting this very issue this past Wednesday I had over heard two people talking about the very issue I had within my hands. They were saying that hopefully and honestly that what they are doing with Clark Kent and Lois Lane's son will be making way for better progression of stories for their son Jon Kent and I could only hope for that in many ways they the customer and cashier were/are very much right in their opinion of greater detail within maintaining a safe environment for a new look for the character of Jon who when was last seen before this set of stories was a six year old kid hanging out with Bruce Wayne's son Damian Wayne as Robin in a series that was known as "Super Sons", that ran from (2017-2021) in which Jon was only ten years of age when they were taking place. Right now Clark Kent has his hands full, of trying to bring peace to a world known as Warworld in Superman Action Comics #1036. Which I will be getting a review out for that too very soon.                                                                                                                            Jon Kent has been trying to prove his point of being his own version of Superman since July of this year 2021 with a whole new motto so that you the reader can know that he is your Superman! That motto is this " Truth,  Justice and A Better World" which was revealed in the pervious issue # 4. As to why his is definitely different from Clark's I will have a spereate entry about that soon, boy it seems that I really do have a lot to get posting about but don't worry it will show up.                                                                                    Review time is now:  creative  teams:Written by Tom Taylor, Art HI-FI by John Timms, Letters by Dave Sharpe, First print cover by John Timm, Inhyuk Lee,Travis Moore and Tamra Bonvillain Variant Covers Jillian Grant and Diego López,  Assistant Editor Diego López, Editor Mike Cotton, Editor in chief Marie Javins SUPERMAN SON OF KAL-EL 5, January 2022. This title of this story is "WHO'S GOT YOU?"                                                                Jon is trying to figure out why his brain is on overload, while he is without knowing why or how this is at all possibly happening to him. He is definitely trying to help those who are facing dangerous situations, such as in Africa in Zambezi where he stops gunmen in a hummer from hurting three citizens. Jon helps out in a flooded town in Luxembourg, Australia of saving a trapped man in his own vehicle. Then he happens to be wearing a mask when he helps out in Metropolis (which is New York in the real world) 
 and yet in a whole other American city Central City, (which is Missouri in the real world) and he doesn't wear a mask. Central City by the way is where the Decetevice Comics comic character The Flash resides in case, you were wondering if
 that city has a hero which in this story is Wally West not Barry Allen who is the main one most comic fans know as the fastest man alive. While in Metropolis Jon brings a whole bridge to local hospital (was about the only thing that proved a  tiny bit of hope for me that was really Superman related to me.) Then while flying around he finds winged man named Aerie, who says Jay is in need of help as well.                                                                       Jay Nakamura, first appeared in issue #2 of this series and was calling himself "The Truth" when he had first met Jon Kent while as Superman he was trying to stop a school shooting at one of the many colleges in Metropolis. He has agreed to help Superman in fighting crimes if only Superman tells him who Superman's ordinary is? When Superman finds Jay in this issue he is sitting on the edge of his fire escape ledge and reveals that he could potentially be more than a regular human being. After he has help Superman finally stop focusing on doing what he should be this happens...                                       
              

What are you or I who are reading this suppose to think of first and foremost? Especially when they the editors definitely DON'T put any caption boxes with any text of any kind! Is this Superman defined by his sexual preference of being dare I say it GAY? Whatever the case is it's not immediately explained, in fact this Superman proves how uncomfortable he is as a hero by telling Jay he will love helping him take down the president who was trying to hurt Jay and a few other college age kids from issue two's big highlight. The president happens to be named Henry Bendix an has a closer connection to Jay than we the reader might think about. Before that is even dealt with Superman is seen taking to the air to get that bridge from earlier in this story and plans to put it back where it property belongs... TO BE CONTINUED! 
 There is so much to unpack about this very issue of the Superman that is our generation's depiction of the classic iconic take of a not just Alien/Human, American, World-wide that matter. I also remember that I told you about how this feels very much like the Superman III movie that stared Richard Pryor to me needs to be let out too. First and foremost the biggest thing that I have to admit to is that even though I know about Decetevice Comics and their characters, I don't follow those stories as much as I do with the company known as Marvel or Image comics,  or certain properties that I love like Star Trek or Transformers. Also I love to follow certain comic artists too, because they are always making the best efforts to getting better as a creator on their creative skills with scripting with each new book they put on the press. IS IT EVER OK FOR A PEICE OF ENTERTAINMENT TO FORCE US / YOU/ME TO DEMAND WE LIKE OR LOVE IT? THE ONLY ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS ALBOUSTULELY A CAPTIALABLE "NO!"                              Superman when he was first created way back in the late nineteen thirties, it was yes about two young men who were at the time living in Cleveland, Ohio that were attending the same high school their names were Jerry Siegel and Joseph Shuster. And after working with National Allied Publications for a few years of time they had refined the character after a short novella Siegel wrote known as " THE REGIN OF THE SUPERMEN" a few years earlier in nineteen thirty three with Shuster providing the illusions of said story. In April of nineteen thirty eight they had sold their idea of Superman to National Allied Publications for both of them having no actual rights to keep the control of the creativeness of the infrastructure of the intellectual property without in the future earnings be given to their families even after their lifetime is ended, they sold the character trademark is what I am getting at for one hundred and thirty dollars and died without any residues to cover their own funerals. ALSO I AM CERTAIN THAT IF THEY WERE ALIVE THEY WOULD DEMAND FOR THIS VERSION OF THEIR CHARACTER TO FLUSHED DOWN THE BEST FLYING SPACE TOILET AROUND. For THEY WOULD HONESTLY LOVE to see Superman grow and have offspring that do what Clark Kent or Kal-el would do bridge hope wherever his offspring are when they are spereated from their father. Joe and Jerry would be bringing up what Frederick Wertham was saying about children being extremely exposed to sexual permissiveness which some how would include the hero structure is based on his or her own existence of what gender of who they have deep feelings for and without any doubt in the general mind of most people the would say and directly close down Decetevice Comics.                                                Now as to how would you ask yourself how would this in any way whatsoever relate to the third Superman movie from the Christopher Reeves story of the character? Well when Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor's) character in the movie was sent to finishing off Superman he didn't know what was in the one thing in parts of Kryptonite that would weaken the man of steel. So Gus decided to make up for the unknowable element by looking at his cigarette packaging and put TAR inside what he thought would be Kryptonite?  When he gives it to Superman he only holds it with nothing happening to him or so it seems... Superman thanks him not knowing what he will be experiencing very soon. We see that the result of TAR filled Kryptonite has a particular impact of making an alien/human turn into the darkness and do corrupt stuff that they don't normally want to do. I will someday do a set of reviews for the Christopher Reeves Superman films too. As to what I give grade wise to Superman Son of Kal-el # 5... is simply this an senseless F minus!
