This titled featured fake, aged up Jon Kent.
Apologies, but there is no question why it failed-any page or panel featuring aged up Jon Kent is an indictment, emphasizing the incompetence of DC editors and leadership.
Not because the characterization is gay, but because it is holistically terrible.

Still wild that Nicole Maines made the queerest super-team (Dreamer, Jon Kent, Jay Nakamura *and* Catman) and it didn't get much traction with queer nerds.

Jon Kent:
DC editors/staff allowed Bendis to publish the kidnap and years-long torture of an 11 yr old child.
DC editors/staff allowed Waid to publish the kidnap and torture (and cyborging) of a 17 yr old child.
Kidnapping and torture are fun to joke about, Sam Camp-right?
DC- still failing fans
