Some thoughts about Superman #30

Superboy's fears might become a reality.

Jon has decided to follow his father no matter the fate that awaits him which could be closer than expected once that they visit a familiar yet dangerous planet.

This story continues but doesn't necessarily follows the same theme.

As mentioned before, Phillip Kennedy Johnson has been developing this premise about the inevitable death of Superman but this has been mostly seen from Jon's perspective. This issue instead, focuses on Clark and his sentiments about the whole ordeal and how that could affect his family, which at times seems a bit off considering how much Jon's importance in the characterization and plot has been. Not badly written at all but still, I wish that kind of focus would have been mantained.

Speaking of losing focus, the plot suddenly jumps into a strange alien world while dealing with the mysterious events that unfold in their civilization. Again, the writer does a good job at worldbuilding and creating an engaging narrative about such idea but I wish there was a bigger emphasis on what was promised early on.

Scott Godlewski's artwork is pretty solid with expressive character and a semi-cartoony style.

There's yet another second feature written by Sean Lewis about Ambush Bug who was basically the original Deadpool and the writer does a good job at following the comedic and 4th wall breaking nature of the character (Surprisingly enough, I think Lewis does a better job at this than when he tries to be serious). Sami Basri's pencils are always pleasent to see.

Decent read, hope the next one is more consistent though.
