The new woke Superman isn’t flying with fans, according to the latest comic book sales numbers. John F. Trent reported Monday for the entertainment website Bounding into Comics that sales of “Superman: Son of Kal-El”—in which the son of the original Superman becomes a climate activist, advocates for illegal immigrants and dates a male reporter after donning his father’s cape—failed to crack the top 50 for the number of units sold only five issues into its new run. This represents an unprecedented sales flop for the Man of Steel, he said. “That’s right, the flagship Superman book at DC Comics is not on a Top 50

They used the wrong pronoun! Shouldn't it have been SUPERTHEY or SUPERTHEM? Maybe the woke among us would have paid more attention to the gender fluid son of Superman comic if they used the proper gender identity.

I for one am shocked! Shocked, I say! that an incredibly popular hero who has never failed with audiences no matter the incarnation, artist, actor, time frame, or tone has utterly bombed once it went wokie woke.
Obviously comin readers are all racist transphobic something or others and need to be canceled.
In the meantime we need tax payer money to find this so every child in the country can carefully study these important stories as part of their public school curriculum.

The real goal is to remove any and all positive role models from children, replacing them with garbage. That way nothing is real, there are no standards of good and bad or right and wrong, any anything goes in the ongoing river of sewage. They've done the same with the westerns that helped teach morals to a generation of men, and girls also are offered nothing but slutty gutter dwellers to emulate.

Hopefully they lose $$$ to the point that someone who wants to make it buys them out.

Anybody else remember when Superman was just the good guy, fighting bad guys and standing tall for truth, justice, and the American way?!?!?!?
Yeah, it has been a very long time since those good old days...

I remain mystified, stunned even, there are elements of the entertainment industry who have not yet figured out the profitability of going woke.

Besides, nerdy guys used to read Superman comics so that they could fantasize about being a superhero.
But then they all discovered on-line porn, and spend their time and money fantasizing about other things these days. Comic books should have gone the way of 8 track tapes a long time ago. But making them woke is only sending them to the dust bin of history ever quicker.

Still more continuing CRAP from the purveyors of so-called comic books. May they all go broke as they insist on becoming more woke in their intension to F up the younger generation & warped millennials who waste their time reading them.

You know you're in trouble when even your man bun soy boy audience isn't interested. Don't they deserve federal funding to keep this valuable cultural programming in the public eye? The Pentagon(e) would be glad to chip in.
