This is actually how you have to sell comics these days though. You can't make new characters because hardly anyone cares enough to buy them. You have the same repetitive flagship comics that draw in the dwindling diehards, but doesn't get new readers.
So you have to reinvent old ones in hopes that it will pull in readers from the free publicity that is public outrage.

Nothing wrong with the bussy-washing of old comic book characters.

Eh, they pussied out and made his son bi. It's not Clark Kent himself. They should have gone all the way and made him and Lois in a poly relationship.

I have all this power to destroy the world, the only way I can feel humbled and human is to watch as my wife gets railroaded by five giant black peepees, making me feel helpless and understand human nature in all its crevices for the first time.

Sold.
I hate capeshit with more passion than I've ever put into my relationships, but I'd buy that comic.
Mainly to use in a ritual designed to open up a doorway into some heck dimension, but point is I'd pay money for that.

You should apply to be a writer for Marvel. Doesn't seem like DC has the balls to take it to the next level.

Will be interesting to see what the sales numbers are. I'm guessing that "It's Superman (his son) but he sucks peepees now" won't move the needle for very long.
It's interesting to learn that Superman's son was molested though.

It will bump them up for a bit then fade, like every initiative and publicity stunt they have done for the past decade or two.
It's a dying business outside of selling movie and TV rights.

If invincible taught me something is that you can make a good one-off superhero comic story that doesn't revolve around the same 10 licensed characters, they just choose to reuse the same cape shits, I mean, Super - Man? Really? That's literally the most cliche super hero name you could imagine!

Invincible/Omni-Man is literally just "What if Superman was LE EVIL" Alan Moore edge edition.

Just more proof that it don't have to be that creative to stand out, I feel as if you attach the name of Super man (or any big superhero name) into something it instantly draws away some people because they'll think it's some kind of bigger piece to a multiverse and requires pre existing knowledge of 80 years worth of characters and stories.
Then again there's probably an even bigger crowd that unironically enjoys that aspect of superhero comics... yikes!
