SUPERMAN: SON OF KAL-EL #1 - Jon Kent Steps Up

  This story was written by Tom Taylor, with the visual talents of John Timms and Gabe Eltaeb. Just over a month after the ending of the main Superman title, something that rarely happens, here we have it’s replacement featuring Jon Kent in the title role. The final arc and a bit from Philip Kennedy Johnson really wasn’t all that great to be honest, and I will get into his Action Comics run later this week, so I feel that shake up of the Superman status quo was definitely necessary, no matter what some so-called “purists” would have you believe.

This finale issue really followed the same formula as all of the previous instalments of the arc, only this time with the threat of a months old baby girl being lobbed off of a bridge (seriously, not every Spider-Man needs to have a bridge threat in their lives).
