Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #3 really kicks off the story we’ve been waiting for and has been teased since not long after the series was announced. Jon Kent arrives on an Earth he’s never seen…the world of Injustice! While a Kal-El rules this world in seeming peace, why does everyone Jon meets fear the S symbol on his chest? And why is Batman public enemy number one? Jon needs to figure out what’s going on in this strange new world because things seem… off.
Written by Tom Taylor, Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #3 is getting to what we really want to see, Jon Kent in the world of Injustice. He’s still positive in his outlook on life, figuring things out. Despite his suffering and the bumps in the road, there’s a lack of jaded viewpoint. How will he react to this world’s Superman who has taken harsh actions on his world to bring peace? Then there’s this world’s other versions of familiar people Jon knows? We see his interaction with Damian teasing things out a bit. Overall, it’s a nice opening chapter though could have played out a little better keeping Jon in the dark for a bit longer.
The art by Clayton Henry continues to be solid. With color by Jordie Bellaire and lettering by Wes Abbott the look of the comic delivers the false order and safety of the world of Injustice. There’s something neat and clean about it all, hiding the sinister of reality underneath. The look has an autocratic aspect about it. There’s also something great about the art and it hides the reality of everything. Everything from Luthor’s body language to Superman’s facial expressions hint and tease what’s to come.
Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #3 begins the upcoming conflict of idealism taking on the harsh absolutism of the world of Injustice. It should be interesting to see how Jon reacts in the next issue and you wonder if this event might be what breaks him a little in his journey onward. So far, it’s nice to see Jon’s general positive outlook in his journey and how that guides him here will be truly interesting.

Jon Kent arrives on an Earth he’s never seen…the world of Injustice! While a Kal-El rules this world in seeming peace, why does everyone Jon meets fear the S symbol on his chest? And why is Batman public enemy number one? Jon has to pick a side, and the consequences make either choice a dangerous one!
Kal-Els across the Multiverse are being murdered…and the culprit is the man who stole Jon Kent’s childhood! The debut issue set things up with Jon being recruited by Earth-2’s Val-Zod and a new take on Red Tornado. The trio are set to stop Ultraman’s killing spree. Adventures Of Superman: Jon Kent #2 really picks things up and delivers a confrontation that’s surprising in where it goes.
Written by Tom Taylor, my problem with the debut issue is it took a bit to get things going. While it generally was good otherwise, getting to the point was the entire comic. Adventures Of Superman: Jon Kent #2 changes that up, a lot by not only delivering a confrontation with Ultraman but also something Taylor, and the cover, have told us is coming.
Adventures Of Superman: Jon Kent #2 is full of surprises in that way. In the lead up to the series, Taylor admitted it would have Jon meeting the “Injustice” Superman, so having the debut conflict dealing with Ultraman was a bit confusing, though intriguing how one would lead to the other. The second issue answers all of those things and feels like the true beginning of this miniseries, one that kicks off with a bit of a shocker.
The art by Clayton Henry continues to be interesting. It has a tough task of balancing the more cheerful style of the current Superman comics while also dealing with trauma and a world that’s a bit gloomy. Henry is able to juggle all of that and some of that’s helped with Jordie Bellaire‘s colors. Part of the fun are the visuals which keep things on the slight side of bright which will absolutely throw off readers concerning where Jon ends up at the end of the comic. There’s also a lot of dialogue at times that Wes Abbott does a great job of packing into panels without overwhelming things. There’s a lot of emotion, and lack of it, through Abbott’s lettering alone.
Where the series goes after Adventures Of Superman: Jon Kent #2 will be intriguing. It hints at a lot, not just Jon’s dealing with “Injustice” Superman but also powers he can’t really control. There’s also questions that remain about Ultraman, Val-Zod, and so much more. While the debut dragged a bit, the second issue is a solid ride.
