2022 just started, and I already have one of my favorite moments for it: Ben slapping the book out of Sal's hand, and it cuts away right as Sal is in mid-"What?!"
This reminded me of the OTHER other Jonathan Kent, son of Superman: the one from "The Kingdom" sequel to "Kingdom Come." THAT version was the son of KC Superman and KC Wonder Woman. We see the kid as an adult and he has the power of Hypertime ("memba" that kids?) and was so beloved that NO ONE talked about him again after the story was over.
So this is where Superman's teenage son, Jonathan came from. Does that make this one of the five Superman comics Bendis read during his extensive prep?
This channel deserves way more subs. I know I’m biased but fuck I see all these other channels with 100’sk + and they don’t even come close to the entertainment/knowledge I get from this channel. Don’t get me wrong there’s other channels I use for pricing etc but I get a lot of recommendations from this channel (and this show especially) and have bought many books from what they’ve done on the couch. Love the channel guys
I have this story in a big TPB edition but didn't have a clue what it was about till now. Guess I should actually take the time to read my effin' books, lmao! Super Sons will never be topped in all honesty.
Agreed. I was hopeful when he disappeared with his grandfather, but I've not enjoyed anything since he came back aged up. Supersons even made Damien slightly more likeable too.
I’m not a big SuperMan fan but I do appreciate his importance & I love when they do SuperMan because I get to read SuperMan comics I never would have heard of.
I’m sorry but can we get a good, classic Superman story? Between Metal and that weird, old Superman with the giant gun, I could use some good ol’ vanilla Superman.
I LOVE this story! I also like the designs of the Justice League. I hope you do Superman: Secret Identity one day. While an Elseworlds, it’s one of my favorite Superman stories
i think i understand the boots, he is trying to fill his fathers shoes, that's why the boots are "clunky" cause he has to grow into the role of superman
I love how for every great elseworlds story there are dozens of mediocre ones like this one that lay the seeds for interesting concepts later down the line
like the second Sal mentioned the vault I said superman's in there but hoped he was just dead and these guys were holding the thing that killed him in the vault and wanted John to finish what his dad couldn't but I'm sure everyone else guessed he was there
As someone around the same age as the folks on the couch, thinking about fellow fans being born (in some cases, well) after 9/11 is too depressing to dwell on for too long. Good thing I'm writing it down in this comment!
This worth it 1000. I have passed over this comic in my shop for years and always wondered if it was worth grabbing even at a massive discount. This way was better!
@25:30 Dark knight strikes again isn't a master piece... but it weirdly hit the nail on the head on several things I don't think people realized it would, like Cosplay sex workers, vloggers and several aspect of both internet culture that feel like "oh crap he got that correctm?!" even the use of e-celebs to unite people behind poltical movements
Pick this up along with a few other fun Elseworlds stories! amzn.to/3eV6XPS
should do superman secret Identity
A Superman based elseworld?!? Everyday we get closer and closer to them covering JLA:THE NAIL 😭😭
Great story
I will always want Elseworlds on Back Issues 🙌
They finally covered JLA: The Nail and then I stumbled across this comment😊
Aàaaw4aawawwaw@@obsoleteill9706
From the future here, how you feeling since they’ve covered that sorry and it’s sequel 🤣
2022 just started, and I already have one of my favorite moments for it:

Congratulations on 30 love hearts by this wonderful channel!
I want it on a loop!
Me: Oh sweet! They’re doing a Superman book today!
Sal: We’re doing a Superman book, which means we’ve already lost you.
😢
Ik right oof. But to be fair that's pretty much everyone but Batman Spiderman and maybe Wolverine
@@schizzo8959 I mean I get it not batman or Spider-Man is not batman or Spider-Man views wise but it stings
Lois: I'm pregnant.
Clark: Aight, Imma head out...
It sucks that Superman books tend not to pull in the views like Batman and others. I always enjoy hearing you guys talk about Superman!
I love when you guys do Superman books! You helped me get more into Superman and DC in general! Thanks, guys. Awesome content!
The episode on “For all seasons” is still my favorite episode of the show
Yall should do Superman/Batman Generations. The omnibus is super cheap right now and it'd be nice to see John Byrne get some love.
Amen to that
"It's a Superman book, so... sorry we lost you." XD

Oh please that guy got halfway through the Wiikpedia page and then got bored 😴. Kid Johnathan was a precious prince.

First back issues of 2022!!! Starting off hopeful with the son of steel! Let's go!!
Old, Elseworlds, AND Superman!?
This'll be fun.
Aw you didn’t lose me with Superman. You guys can keep me with Anything
This is all of my favorite things, superman, elseworlds and 90s comics!
1:08:00 "But it was worth explaining it to us". Chef's kiss
I can't speak for everyone but to me your videos are ALWAYS worth watching.
"Keep reading sellouts!" got me.
Ben is a whole asset @40:03
Why are you guys not at 1M yet???
The fact that Kingdom Come, Injustice, The OMAC Project, and this cast Wonder Woman as a murderous fiend is such a look. I'm not even mad at it.
I have this story in a big TPB edition but didn't have a clue what it was about till now. Guess I should actually take the time to read my effin' books, lmao! Super Sons will never be topped in all honesty.

@@billyreynoldsjr2229 I've always liked Damian but you're not wrong about Jon Kent.
Yep, while this wasn't terrible Supersons has yet to be rivaled.
Jokes on you I was also written… I mean born in 1999
Let's start the year off right 🔥🔥🔥
I’m not a big SuperMan fan but I do appreciate his importance & I love when they do SuperMan because I get to read SuperMan comics I never would have heard of.
Gotta love Superman's Reed Richards hair in this.
You should look up Superman: Secret Identity. It’s another Elseworlds story, but a very good one.
I’m sorry but can we get a good, classic Superman story? Between Metal and that weird, old Superman with the giant gun, I could use some good ol’ vanilla Superman.
There was an issue of Static way back in the day where Virgil used Ben's cover story idea while on a date.
And here I was thinking it was Tuesday, excited for the next Back Issues supposedly tomorrow.
Get outta here Conner, and Jon, and Christopher, make way for the ORIGINAL son of Superman… Jon??
And Jordan (from Superman and Lois).
i really wish they did more. i love superman books
“I’m rich, you’re poor, let’s dance”
I LOVE this story! I also like the designs of the Justice League.
I hope you do Superman: Secret Identity one day. While an Elseworlds, it’s one of my favorite Superman stories
So, in the end...
John throws Lex Luther TO THE GROUND!
He's not a sell out!!!!
i think i understand the boots, he is trying to fill his fathers shoes, that's why the boots are "clunky" cause he has to grow into the role of superman
I just thought I meant he was making the mantle his own but I see what you mean.
That why at 33:40 just cracked me up for a solid minute, absolutely perfect
All I remember about this book when it came out was how much they talked about boots.
Thanks for making my week once again!
I love how for every great elseworlds story there are dozens of mediocre ones like this one that lay the seeds for interesting concepts later down the line
I love Superman and Comicpop!
Ooh! What a great birthday gift for me.
Happy Birthday!!
@@TheRealZubes Thank you!
Alright, here we go!
I just about picked this book up the other day. Looking forward to this!
The Anger in Ben's face at 16:10 ☠💀☠
I love the little elbow nudges Sal and Ben have been doing the last couple of episodes.
1:05:06 You have no idea how much this section made me laugh. You guys are amazing.
This is reminding me a lot of the Ultimates.
If you want to cover kids of Bats and Supes the Generations book that John Byrne did might be interesting and weird fun
like the second Sal mentioned the vault I said superman's in there but hoped he was just dead and these guys were holding the thing that killed him in the vault and wanted John to finish what his dad couldn't but I'm sure everyone else guessed he was there
You’re right. It’s definitely not worth reading but this video was worth the watch.
I asked Sal and the guys to do this book over a year ago. Yesssss
Please bring back the cooking show!
Wow so if I was 1 year younger Sal would melt in my presence (I was born 04)
Sal: “He’s not a fascist, everyone else is a fascist”
Alan Moore’s life story in a nutshell
I would have never guessed Ben was only 17! Now that's a growing boy! lol!!!!
Thank u, happy new year
That sellout bit at the end had me laughing
I read this book like 20 years ago in a local library and had completely forgotten about it until I saw Batman in that awful costume 😂
I have an old comic from like the 70s with the "Son of Superman" and the "Son of Batman"
The old Imaginary Stories right?
back issues day, best day of the week!
I'm here for the Superman content
Not Martian manhunter getting dragged through the mud
Thank you so much guys I had vague memories of reading this at the library when I was a kid and never could find this story .
I can imagine Lois Lane doing a lot of careers but Hollywood scriptwriter ain't one of them if you want to go that route, use Lana instead.
Sal I’m still young but after these last few years 15 sounds like an eternity
Was that a save the last dance reference 24:37 LOL
Much like Ben with this book, make sure y’all smack that like button
Lets go ComicPop Gang! Just a few more subs for 100k! I hope it will come soon :D
I am not a sellout, I'm a John Kent!
Buahaha sorry we lost you! That was Pretty funny!! Almost 100,000 🔥🔥
21:30 it's those damn Enchiladas!!!!
This was an excellent time!
I think it would be funny after John got his powers he went “MOM WERE YOU SUPERGIRL!”
Love to see Superman on back issues. We still need a game for him!!
Hope you cover Generation at some point
Jon Kent in 1999
It’s no wonder why Elseworlds went away, DC’s like “we’re gonna start using them in continuity”.
8:12 has Sal doing an Australian accent
WINNING! I love that reference
When I heard chaykin, I thought "here we go". And I was right
This is such a chaykin book
Sal would make an excellent superhero: that 'diarrhea in an alleyway' cover story came to him like he'd already thought it up
Great show, loved the last second comments
I keep coming back to this episode. Very strange book and i find it pretty interesting trying to interpret what the writer was actually trying to say
this is basically Dark Knight Returns (or any dark knight books written by Frank Miller) but superman. nice. #ComicPop
As someone around the same age as the folks on the couch, thinking about fellow fans being born (in some cases, well) after 9/11 is too depressing to dwell on for too long. Good thing I'm writing it down in this comment!
Jesus, so fuck Martian Manhunter I guess. What a weird character assassination.
When i saw Son of Superman I was scared thinking it was modern John Kent superman, but eh this seems cool.
This was a cool story tbh.
Lex Luthor stealing everyone's 401-Ks is way more evil than like killing Superman or whatever actually happened in this book
This worth it 1000. I have passed over this comic in my shop for years and always wondered if it was worth grabbing even at a massive discount. This way was better!
I can't believe your covering an esleworld comic I own .
Pump that algorithm! Get to 100K!
What a great episode. Pretty happy I didn't pick this book up after all. ;)
another super fun episode!
@25:30 Dark knight strikes again isn't a master piece... but it weirdly hit the nail on the head on several things I don't think people realized it would, like Cosplay sex workers, vloggers and several aspect of both internet culture that feel like "oh crap he got that correctm?!" even the use of e-celebs to unite people behind poltical movements
"All teachers are superheroes" And the students are the villain hive mind Acedia! (laziness, apathy)
Isn't that the plot to the first season of Breaking Bad 27:53
Keep selling out! 🤣
I think I missed the part why Martian Manhunter joined Lex.
Because
@@comicpop Ah, the universal reason. Got it.
Nice to see Sal finally making the opinon about DKSA I have been making my whole life reading comics, it's trash but it's ludicrously fun trash.
