☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "The Truth Part One," Jon Kent grapples with the weight of his legacy as he tries to forge his own path, adopting a new secret identity to step out of the shadow of Superman. Guided by his father Clark Kent’s wisdom and inspired by a bold video blogger exposing hidden truths, Jon begins to question how he can truly make a difference—before the spotlight finds him again.
In "Proportional Response," Jon Kent races to save his grandparents and Jay Nakamura from Faultline’s assault on the Kent farm, a crisis orchestrated by Henry Bendix. With the Justice League at his side—including Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern—Jon uncovers a hidden truth about Jay, who reveals a network of metas united against Bendix’s schemes.
In "Who's Got You?", Jon Kent struggles to master his escalating powers after a boost from Henry Bendix, testing his limits as he rushes to save lives across the globe. As the strain mounts, Jay Nakamura steps in to help, sparking a moment of connection that leaves Jon confronting his feelings in the heat of the moment.
In "Beginnings," Jon Kent and Jay Nakamura team up to uncover the truth behind a conspiracy targeting the Kents, stumbling into a web that pulls in Lois Lane, Damian Wayne, and a mysterious meta with sleep-based powers. As their paths converge, they uncover a shocking link to the Gamorran ambassador—and a deeper plot involving the abduction of the homeless and a dangerous scheme tied to Henry Bendix.
