#issue 12

Lets talk about it, cause I've got a LOT of different questions and ideas about it especially with the release of the cover for Superman Unlimited #15

So in case you haven't read or need a sort of recap. Tomorrow Man aka Jon, but from the future has brought "Jon" from during the Volcano arc to the present or a close place in time to when he was taken from, and has now been brought to Lois Lane, where Batman and Robin (Damian) where also currently located

During this whole thing it's very clear that there is at least something, weird or off with Jon as both Damian and Krypto seem to be put off by him

And even Jon himself doesn't seem to acknowldge Damian despite it being stated a lot that they are Best Friends, even at the time that Jon was taken they where still best friends. From what can be seen even Batman seem a little suspicious of the whole situation

and I understand why Lois isn't reacting in any sort of way, it's been stated or at least implied that she is hurt or regrets not being there for Jon and being able to raise him to adulthood, so her reaction and how she might not be able to see anything weird makes a lot of sense and I'm kind of a fan of that

We also see at the end of the comic that Damian is making Kryptonite batarangs do to him not trusting "Jon" in anyway with Batman even seeming to agree, and with both characters being very smart and good detectives I find their reaction very interesting and leads me very excited for the next issue

Plus with the new cover being shown for issue 15 I feel like these even more confirms the idea that this isn't "Jon", but it is interesting that he's gone from Green Kryptonite to Blue which is normally used against Bizarro, which while I don't think this is Bizzarro Jon as the cover looks like he has no real reaction to it. I'm hoping we get more clues about both "Jon" and Damian's choice of Kryptonite in the later issues

is Etienne Lux.

Then you realise halfway through that Etienne is actually this

You know how pigeons were domesticated by humans then discarded? This panel of Jason feeding the pigeons after Bruce had Clockwork Oranged him made me think of that. Jason probably feels like Bruce did that to him.

Wonder if this was on purpose, or I'm just overthinking it lol.

ISSUE #12 IS HERE!

Summer is here and that means we've chosen two phenomenal novellas to share with you in our second "Doubles Issue." These novellas speak to each other in such unique ways. One is set in '90s USA and the other in '20s England (that's 1920s). One involves poison and the other possession. One is realistic and the other fantastical. Despite these differences, both unfold through the slow reveal of close-kept secrets. In Unicorn, a teenage girl dreams of poisoning her abusive mother. Meanwhile, she fosters a crush on the town drug dealer, who may or may not be keeping a big secret from her. In Cathexis, a demon prince bored with his tyrannical reign is presented with a young man possessing a secret the prince can't crack, and embarks upon an unorthodox method of interrogation.
