WARNER BROS Is In A Major Culture Shift, Gay Superman Cancelled, Joe Quesada Returns to DC!

DC Comics promised us that the New Era of Superman would starts this January. And so it is. It was revealed at New York Comic Con today that "Superman: Son of Kal-El will end with issue #18, but fans of Jon Kent do not need to worry! Writer Tom Taylor and artist Clayton Henry will be telling new Jon Kent stories in Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent. Jon will finally get his chance to take on the man who is responsible for kidnapping and torturing him, Ultraman. The Superman of Earth-2, Val-Zod, will also play a major part in the 6-issue miniseries arriving in comic shops in March."

Action Comics Will Contain Three Ongoing Stories, Including Power Girl
Superman Son of Kal-El Cancelled, Relaunched as Adventures of Superman
"I couldn't be more excited for Jon Kent to headline the iconic Adventures of Superman," said Tom Taylor. "It's a real testament to the fantastic response of fans to Jon as Superman. This series is going to be one of the most action-packed books I've ever written and Jon is going to be tested more than ever before. While we can tell you the Superman of Earth-2, Val-Zod, and Jon's nemesis, Ultraman, will be key characters in the early part of Adventures of Superman, what we're going to reveal at the end of issue #2 will have everyone talking and issue #3 launches us in a direction that no one will see coming."

Superman Son of Kal-El Cancelled, Relaunched as Adventures of Superman
Tom Taylor and Jamie Rich at DC Comics developed the idea of Jon Kent being a young teenage bisexual superhero in the DC Universe, taking over the mantle of Superman. Originally Rich wanted the title to be called simply Superman, but Superman: Son of Kal-El won out. Adventures Of Superman is a step closer, even with the Jon Kent subhead in the title.

Originally, The Adventures of Superman was the name of the radio series adaptation of the comic book in the 40s, the TV series starring George Reeves in the 50s and the name of a Superman ongoing series published by DC Comics in the 80s as part of the John Byrne reboot, alongside Superman and Action Comics.

Surprising audiences at New York Comic Con, Joe Quesada took the stage at DC's "Jim Lee & Friends" panel and revealed some variant cover art he created for two upcoming Batman issues.

Quesada appeared near the end of the "Jim Lee & Friends" panel held at New York Comic Con on Oct. 7. He told those in attendance he'd be desinging covers for DC titles in 2023 and proceeded to reveal two variants starring the Dark Knight he created for Batman #131 and Batman #132.

Joe Quesada Has Worked With DC Before
Quesada is known for being the former Marvel editor-in-chief who was later named chief creative officer at Marvel Entertainment in 2010. Prior to working for Marvel, Quesada started his comics career working for DC and is known for co-creating the character of Azrael alongside Denny O'Neil and Peter Milligan. First appearing in 1992's Batman: Sword of Azrael #1 -- the first issue in a four-part miniseries Quesada provided art for -- Azrael/Jean-Paul Valley is an ally to the Dark Knight who eventually takes on the Batman mantle for a time during the iconic "Knightfall" storyline.

In 2019, Quesada's position at Marvel shifted to executive vice president and creative director when Kevin Feige was named as the company's new chief creative officer. Quesada announced in May 2022 he was departing from Marvel. "In August of 2000, Marvel took a shot on me, entrusted me with the keys to the Universe, and has been my biggest supporter ever since," he said at the time. "During that time, I've had the great fortune to stand on the shoulders of giants, none broad than those of my predecessors and mentors, the best editorial team in the business, my coworking family, and the most talented creators on earth who put their trust in me, especially in the early days when it looked like I was selling tickets on the Titanic. Thank you ALL for sharing your talents and pouring your heart and soul into every project. It's been an honor working with you, and I hope we get to do it all again.
