Superman & Lois: Facts Con Special Adventure

Tyler Hoechlin was invited to FACTS 2023 in Ghent, Belgium. Since we were going to meet him, we wanted to give him a gift because Superman & Lois is one of our favorite shows, and both Tyler and Bitsie do an amazing job. So, after much thought, we realized that Tyler still didn't have his own comic of him as Superman and we decided that he should have one, even if it was a short short story. In this way we hired the cartoonist Daniel Mainé (Dynamite) and the colorist Manoli Martínez (Scout Comics, Action Labs...) to carry out this story that we hope you like.

My Review of S&L thus far, and looking ahead.

Hey guys 3 weeks till Superman & Lois returns, and so I wanted to post my review on the series thus far, and my hopes for the upcoming season. 

Season 1

The show starts of with Clark’s backstory which I loved. I love the dorky take on superman which we haven’t seen in a while. Then it cuts to now them being the parents of teenagers. I like the casting right off the bat. Alex looks a lot like Tyler, and Jordan looks a lot like Bitsie. The dynamic of the twins was pretty interesting. I was under the impression that they would be like a mini Lois and clark. It was cool that they added some individuality to them. It gave depth to their characters. After this and another scene,  Clark returns to Smallville when his mom passes. I applaud Tylers performance for the death scene because its shows how it feels to lose someone in the superhuman way. How he listened to his moms heart beat as it slowed, was a beautiful touch. Moving to the funeral/wake scene. I like the entrance to the lang family (especially the savage response from Lana’s youngest). The scene in the barn tho. I shipped Jordan and Sarah after seeing their banter, and was left curious about Jon and Sarah since there was chemistry there too. The twins saving each other though after the polls fell was beautiful it showed their brotherly love. It was great how they had the family move to smallville. It showed the deep connections to clarks roots. The season really started off with a bang. It was beautiful how they bring to light the issues of grief and mental health issues. The scene where Lois miscarriage was revealed was beautifully written and done. How they had the therapy scene especially with the saying, “ this happened to you not because of anything you did.” That in itself is something beautiful that people should remember when dealing with trauma that brings feelings of self hate/loathing. The stories they make for their characters are so good for example with their villain. Tal was a good one because it showed how some villains aren't just automatically evil. It’s a good reminder that when people are hurt deeply and in the worst ways, good people can do bad things too. We see this with tal’s character. He was a little boy who lost his people, and he cared for them. he was a victim of horrible cruelty and lack of love.  He was someone who just wanted a family. The way he spoke to Clark/Kal. He had love for his brother. We also see this with Jon and how he deals with having to move to smallville and things not being easy. Showing how when a child or teen misbehaves it’s an indicator that they might be going through something. Also with John Henry irons. He lost his family in another world and his grief causes him to almost destroy another and the redemption he has that show some people just need a second chance is amazing. Overall the way the story was told and the action scenes where amazing. The show does have beautiful cinematography.

Season 2:

This season was in the middle. Like there was good written and done scenes, but others could have been better. 

So to start, the previous season ended with Jon Henry irons daughter showing up. We see that Lois has been dealing with some bad feelings. Things have been tense in the Kent home. We also see some changes in characters and new people. Jordan and Sarah hit a rode bump when she kissed another girl while away at camp. I hate what they did to them because it’s like they copy the season 1 thing. Sarah seem so beautifully written in s1 I honestly don’t know why they did this to her character. Continuing,  Jon gets a new girlfriend, and things at home boil over  when Jon tries to get lucky while home alone. It is revealed that Lois has been dealing with trauma of being abandoned by her mom. Feeling that came back when she did not react the way she wanted to towards Natalie. I love Lois’ scene because they bring important issues to light in a beautiful way. Fast forward nat and her dad move to smallville. Things still are rocky due to clark getting these super migraines because a bizarre version has come into their world. I love their take on bizarro. Jon’s storyline through me off. Like he was this rare one a kind super nice and modest person who didn’t let bad things hold him down. Then they threw that all to shit with him using drugs. Not to mention clark sucking at being his dad. Like the boy needs love real bad. I hate what they did with the girlfriend. I mean I got bad vibes in the beginning when she copied and pasted what clark was telling Jon to support him during the struggle with not being able to play football. As well there were like 5 or more reasons that made her a toxic girlfriend/walking red flag. So the fact that she got a second chance with Jon was mind boggling, and kind of shows a big concern with Jon continually committing self destructive behaviors. On Another note,  It was great with how they Brought in Jon-el. This opposite version of him. It show how Jon being the way he is and his heart is important. Moving on to the main bad guy, ally was pretty cool her storyline showed that truly no villain is a match with superman. Overall it was a great but certain storylines could have been better written.

Looking Ahead: Season 3: 

So right of the bat, as we all know Jordan Elsass Got recast and Michael Clive Bishop has joined the cast. Im excited to see his portrayal of Jon. I'm wondering if they are kind of doing a smallville s3 storyline with him. For those who haven’t watched smallville or have forgotten, in the prequel series of Superman’s story before he became superman, Clark dates a drug dealer who gives him red kryptonite. So the Red-k is like Xk, and well clark stays with the drug dealer for another season, but by the end of it she shows she had not really changed or shall I say it is revealed that it was easy for her to fall into bad habits, and ultimately she was killed by the people supplying/ making the drug. So for S&L Im wondering if they will use that storyline for Jon. Kinda hoping Jon gets powers or gets weapons and/or some sort of training. As for the others, I’m looking forward to seeing how the reveals of the superman secret have changed the relationships in the show.
