Count me Out on Superman #13

I said I'd be buying Superman #13 out of curiosity, but after reading a review of the comic book and a particular scene I think I'll pass.

Wrote the author regarding Superman walking in on a scene with Jimmy Olsen in the shower with a young woman:


Have we ever had such an obvious indication of someone having sex in a Superman comic as soapy Jimmy and pal? I realise this series is rated T for Teen, but I think of Superman as an all-ages character. By all means imply that stuff is happening, in a way older readers will pick up on - in the Seventies there was a running gag around boeuf bourguignon - but show? I'm not so sure.


On top of that, we have Clark Kent reading Lois Lanes' private texts. This is shall we say, not very supermanlike and a good reason why many fans of the character avoid the current books and I certainly wouldn't want to reward DC's degradation of this iconic figure. I'll have more on Superman past and present in some upcoming posts.
