Superman: Son of Kal-El (2021-) #8 by Tom Taylor
4.0
Jon Kent is beginning to come to terms with the fact you can’t save everyone, and this works in the favor of President Bendix framing Jon as a hero who can’t be controlled. This issue shines a spotlight on Jon’s altruism. Showing that he really is his father’s son. Even though he saved more people than he lost Jon still carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. Knowing he could’ve done more is the hardest part of being Superman.
❗️// Spoilers // ❗️
This issue sets up the groundwork for more exciting events to occur in future issues. With President Bendix spreading his anti-hero propaganda claiming there will no longer be a need for “aliens, amazons or dark knights.” He introduces a group of post-humans called The Rising. Super powered humans who are under Bendix’s mind control. I’m looking forward to seeing how this plot will play out.
