Wrong comic to make a hentai joke.
Superman Family Adventures #9
DC Comics (March, 2013)
CO-WRITER/ARTIST: Art Baltazar CO-WRITER: Franco EDITOR: Kristy Quinn “SUPERMAN” CREATORS: Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster
Lara gets used to her new family and not being a phantom. Meanwhile, Braniac tech shwos up at the Daily Planet before Braniac himself arrives, using a new form of Kryptonite to distract Superman while Braniac attacks the Fortress. It isn’t long, however, before the entire family gathers to deal with their robotic sibling. And how does Luthor get dragged into this?
What they got right: For the target audience this is a lot of fun. I knew Baltazar and Franco could write full-length stories because of their run on Billy Batson & The Magic of Shazam! but combining that with the the Tiny Titans style seems to work for this title. Also, Periwinkle Kryptonite. Very funny.
What they got wrong: Maybe somebody who has been reading all along can explain this. Does Lois in this comic know Clark is Superman? Because she decides to break out the Periwinkle knowing what it will do to Clark. (Don’t worry, nothing “bad” exactly.) Are they a couple in this comic?
Recommendation: If you like both Superman and Tiny Titans you may get into this book. Which is why it’s ending soon. Sometimes I really want to see sales figures to explain why comics I see people praising the most are the ones getting cancelled.
I don’t understand it myself.
