Original Superman Kal-El Returns to Earth For Team-Up With Son Jon Kent

The crossover, called «Kal-El Returns,» will take place over six issues in the pages of Action Comics and Superman: Son of Kal-El from writers Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Tom Taylor, with artists to be announced.

Meanwhile, Jon Kent has taken over his father's role as the new Superman of Earth, where Jon has been fighting his own battles, including the dictatorial president of Gamorra, Henry Bendix, and coming out as bisexual.
