I don’t make a habit of collecting antique books… but, @aaronmeyers.bsky.social -esque, I’ll stop for a deal. - 1870 printing (2nd print run) of Alcott’s An Old-Fashioned Girl. With, inscription that the copy was publicly read at the Packer Institute, Brooklyn, that same year.

Because the topic continues to come up, and I do read DMs: - yes, the DC editorial team remains incompetent around the Super-line. Especially demonstrated by the Jon Kent lack of age reversion - no, DC has not explained the “Ultraboy” parallel torture plot point - I MAY be at NYCC- trying hard

Listened “Digging for Kryptonite” podcast, interviewing Paul Kaminski. I’d invite all to tune in: Flat Squirrel Productions platforms an incompetent editor, untrustworthy with loved characters and highly disingenuous. Kaminsky even panders about “schemes to de-age Jon Kent…” Pure fabrication.

Robert P. Glover @rpglover.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Recent lies by DC Superman editors. Ready? “Kaminski highlighted his core…mission: bringing joy, optimism, and compassion back to superhero storytelling …fostering a good-faith relationship with fandom…” If Jon Kent remains aged up, then this “good-faith” is pure untruth. Told by an incompetent.

Bought the new Legion book. Art- at times excellent, tries hard to channel Ditko/Steranko/Perez in unorthodox panels, to story detriment (see image). Story- courting a young manga crowd, it’s passable. Braniac/Tenzil too similar to Alma/Tai in Gokurakugai for me. Powered siblings are also tropish.

Superman: The Stranger. Gorgeous art, wrapping a poorly written, unneeded Superman deconstruction that resonates with a “feebly righteous” audience. Why would Jim Lee, Marie Javins and Chris Conroy spend budget dollars to publish this tripe?

So-Superman Unlimited was…limited. The massively incompetent cadre that steers this title are again promoting Tomorrow Stiff, failed/despised Jon Kent. That’s okay: NYCC is coming, DC editors and professionally deficient staff can explain themselves during fan Q&A, why they keep letting fans down.

#comics #superman #jonkent Remember, friends- any DC Comic featuring the failed, aged up version of Jon Kent is sadly not worth your $3.99-plus. Even, New Titans. We are all waiting for NYCC, to tell DC creators and editors EXACTLY how we feel about failed Jon Kent and editorial incompetence.

I just recommended this series to a friend. I figured I’d recommend it to you, as well, global readers- this is just me, rewarding a good author for a good series- there’s no AI or paid promo. Sci-fi fans, fans of heist stories- read the Carbon Chronicles. #carbonchronicles

@casuallycomics.bsky.social @jacethecomicsource.bsky.social and others have posted reviews of recent Superman Unlimited comics featuring on Kent. The truth remains, despite the click-bait posturing: aged up Jon Kent is a failure, young Jon Kent is what DC needs to invest in to save the IP.

There really are no editors functioning at DC Comics. The continuing, spiteful gift across the years since the terrible Bendis era at DC is that you have “coordinators,” but no professional editors- the “Group Editor” job title during this “creator forward” era is a bureaucratic role

What’s great about @DCOfficial is that, it’s rarely checked. Did I say “great?” I meant terrible. DC Comics/WB Discovery dismantled customer service feedback, so when comics with low quality elements (such as Shazam 20, or Superman Unlimited 9-15) are published…there is no outlet for valid critique.

Robert P. Glover @rpglover.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
SDCC is coming-the opportunity to make your opinions known about young Jon Kent. DC’s Metropolis and Beyond panel will instantiate on Saturday, 25 July. Stand up, cheer creators and let all know by this chant our demand: Young Jon Kent BACK, Aged Jon Kent OUT! You can change the future- let DC know.

#jonkent #supermanunlimited “Reign of the Superboys” would need to be retitled to “Pain of the Super Fans.” RE: Superman Unlimited 15 RE: Jon Kent I call DC Editors incompetent- there is no better evidence than this story arc. Note my very valid criticism in the attached images.

Just a reminder- for any DC comics fan: aged up Jon Kent is a failure, loved by an undiscerning few, despised by most fans-written poorly, edited badly. Fans of the IP let down for years by incompetent staff/editors at the publisher. Young Jon Kent remains the best version of the character.

Robert P. Glover @rpglover.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
My Adventures With Superman. #MAWS “Trying to honor all these characters…” was perhaps the most egregious fail. “Honor.” Sadly fan-disconnected showrunners with poor plot concepts-pandering to the most tourist class of fans, taking great source material and dropping it into the fecal blender.

Thanks for this shared opinion. It balances off all those who find the show to be low quality in concept, in interpretation of source material, and in anime-wannabe execution- as well as finding the Conner/Jon character mashup to be idiotic.

Why go through another convolution of the Superman myth-DC might as well launch yet ANOTHER new comic line to accommodate this “fresh modern lens,”branching from the 17 Superman versions in media. I get it’s a vehicle for Wes Craig- but, the uselessness is jarring. www.comicsbeat.com/wes-craig-su...

These Superman Unlimited samples may indicate with worst case- hopefully, DC will not chose the pathetic, hack route with this arc. If Reign of the Superboys ends with a villainous young Jon Kent, then it is proven that a hollow, talentless core occupies offices in Burbank.

Reposting. DC has the slim chance to get a win from this storyline, and redeem the destructive Bendis fallacy. Editors and authors- do NOT fail fans yet again.

Re: Superman Unlimited 12 Young Jon Kent would not ignore Damian, would hug/make goofy comments even after a kidnap experience to his best friend. I hope this does not mean writers/editors are raising a middle finger to those that love Superman. Again. If so, it’s boycott Super-titles time.

Robert P. Glover @rpglover.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
The Superman Unlimited “Reign of the Superboys” arc is the ONE opportunity to recover, to substantively make amends for years of stupidity. Fans should buy it, to underscore how young Jon Kent is needed and older Jon may be jettisoned Don’t screw it up, DC…veer away from that sad history.

IGN- great article. Surprising! DC editors- you really had no say in this, did you? This level of professional competency…shocking, unexpected. For those happy to see Young Jon back, go vote in the poll. Let your voice be heard, now that DC seems to finally be listening.

This titled featured fake, aged up Jon Kent. Apologies, but there is no question why it failed-any page or panel featuring aged up Jon Kent is an indictment, emphasizing the incompetence of DC editors and leadership. Not because the characterization is gay, but because it is holistically terrible.

#jonkent July sales data, ICV2: “Secret Six” 5th issue. Surprise: issue 5 did NOT rank in the top 200 comics of the month… Fail. Fail. Fail. That’s all DC can do with fake, aged up Jon Kent. Can’t plot, write, or edit this aged up IP, be it physical or Webtoon.

Jon Kent: DC editors/staff allowed Bendis to publish the kidnap and years-long torture of an 11 yr old child. DC editors/staff allowed Waid to publish the kidnap and torture (and cyborging) of a 17 yr old child. Kidnapping and torture are fun to joke about, Sam Camp-right? DC- still failing fans
