Superman may be the world’s greatest hero, but his most important role is being a father.
As Clark Kent settles into life with Lois Lane and their young son Jon, he must guide a child who is beginning to develop extraordinary powers of his own. From first flights to dangerous confrontations, every lesson carries real consequence—because raising a super-powered child means preparing him for a world that is anything but safe.
From the bestselling creative team of Peter J. Tomasi (Super Sons, Batman and Robin) and Patrick Gleason (Robin: Son of Batman), this acclaimed run redefines Superman through a deeply personal lens, blending action, humor, and emotional storytelling into a modern take on the Man of Steel. This is a story about what it means to pass something greater on to the next generation.
Collects Superman #1-13, Superman: Rebirth #1, and Superman Annual #1.
