Superman: Son of Kal-El #1
In "Truth, Justice, and a Better World," Tom Taylor and John Timms launch a bold new era for Superman with a story that sees Jon Kent step into his father’s legacy—literally—when Clark leaves Earth on a critical mission. As Jon joins a protest supporting Gamorran refugees and finds himself arrested, he must balance activism with his duties as the new Superman, while teaming up with his father to stop the mysterious Faultline. The issue’s dynamic art by John Timms, with colors by Gabe Eltaeb and letters by Dave Sharpe, captures both the emotional weight and soaring action of a hero stepping into the spotlight.
