Good different!
Kryptonian Advancement
Superman: Father of Tomorrow #2 dives deeper into the impact of Jor-El’s decision to share his home world’s technology to help improve his adoptive planet. 20 years have passed since the arrival of Jor-El. Since then, he has adopted the alias of Superman and has been Earth’s protector from otherworldly creatures that may harm. In those years, Jor-El shared his technology with the world. His actions have advanced humanity to the best it could be, or so he thought. While his intentions may have been positive and humanitarian, other individuals have taken drastic measures. By utilizing and reengineering kryptonian technology, criminals are armed to the teeth with Jor-El’s tech, according to Lex Luther.
Jumping back into the Elseworlds tale, Kenny Porter (Knight Terrors, The Deadman) continues to explore the world built around the presence of Jor-El instead of Clark Kent. Porter’s vision on the inquiry of what if Jor-El survived and not his son shapes a whole new perspective on how situations are handled differently. Keeping in mind that Jor-El is a scientist as much as he is a hero, Porter provides unique and creative avenues that Jor-El can think of to help him in battles. More specifically, Jor-El isn’t just using brute strength but instead combining his brain and brawn to prevent further destruction before it occurs. He’s seen taking the most troublesome of foes out by using his advanced technology with his combative prowess. On top of that, Porter drops clever details about this Superman that make you wonder why this method wasn’t used before. Superman: Father of Tomorrow #2 not only shows this, but it also discusses the nuisance of ideologies between Clark and Jor-El. Although the strict use of his technology is prohibited for weapons of any kind, the essence of Lex Luther never seems to change, no matter what universe he appears in.
Gracing Superman: Father of Tomorrow #2 once more, Danny Earls (New Titans, Godzilla) illustrates and presents masterful artwork for the comic book. The character designs are outstanding as much as his attention to the detail of the futuristic buildings within the story. If not observing closely, Earls adds in a few details overlooked on the first read through that are quite interesting and cool. When it comes to the characters and overall experience of the comic book, Earls does his best to display how he truly captures the world of tomorrow.
Complementing that appreciation, Nick Filardi (Supergirl: Survive, Batwoman) swoops in and radiates Superman: Father of Tomorrow #2 with flawless coloring work. Riddled with exuberant color palettes, Filardi gives the comic book a shine it requires to keep being entertaining. A focus on making a comic book filled with colorful admiration adds value to the story itself.
Richly, Lucas Gattoni (Absolute Catwoman, Lobo) intricately weaves lettering into Superman: Father of Tomorrow #2 with ease. The smooth transition from panel to panel is without a doubt a work of art.
Unifying their collective vision, Earls and Filardi illustrate a cover that captures the quintessence of the comic book and the contents within it. Jor-El’s vision for a better tomorrow is delivered best in this cover art for Superman: Father of Tomorrow #2.
In conclusion, Superman: Father of Tomorrow #2 is an Elseworlds story worth reading in the DC Universe. It’s different, but it’s a good kind of difference. It’s a story that hooks in and doesn’t seem to let go. Be sure to pick this comic book up at your local comic book store or where copies can be purchased online. There’s a feeling that things are about to get really magical next issue.
