DC has decided to end the Superman comic and replace it with a new series.



Quote:

Superman: Son of Kal-El

The action begins on July 13 as a new ongoing monthly series, Superman: Son of Kal-El, replaces the current Superman monthly title. Written by Tom Taylor (Nightwing, DCeased, Suicide Squad) with art by John Timms (Young Justice, Harley Quinn), this series follows the new adventures of the son of Superman as he's entrusted with the protection of Earth.

Jonathan Kent has experienced a lot in his young life. He's fought evil with Robin (Damian Wayne), traveled across galaxies with his Kryptonian grandfather, and lived in the future with the Legion of Super-Heroes, who were intent on training him for the day his father could no longer be Superman. There is a hole in the Legion's history that prevents Jon from knowing exactly when that will happen, but all signs point to it being very soon. It's time for the son to wear the cape of his father and continue the never-ending battle as a symbol of hope for his home planet.

Action Comics will continue and will focus on Superman leaving Earth. Grant Morrison will write a 4-issue miniseries about Supes and The Authority teaming up to battle Mongul to set it up. It's rumored Superman finds another Krypton like planet and Action Comics will be based there going forward.


No clue if Bendis will acknowledge any of this in Justice League (leaning towards "No" since Bendis just tends to do whatever he wants, continuity be damned). Speaking of Bendis/Justice League, in his latest issue he revealed a new twist

SPOILER: show

Naomi's homeworld is the only planet not part of the Multiverse, it exists separate from everything



Here's the covers for Action Comics and the Supes miniseries coming out the same time as the new Jonathan Kent Superman title.
