DC's new Superman, Jonathan Kent, steps into his father's proverbial shoes (and his actual mantle) on July 27 with . Written by Tom Taylor with art by John Timms, the new ongoing comic book series Superman: Son of Kal-El replaces t⛦he long-running Superman title and is now what DC calls the "main Superman tit꧅le" in its line of Superman titles (more on that in a bit).
"Jonathan Kent has experienced a lot in his young life. He's traveled the 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, Clark🔯 Kent, could no longer be Superman," reads DC's description of Superman: Son of Kal-El #1. "There is a hole in the Legion's history that prevents Jon from knowing e🌳xactly when that will happen, but all signs point to it being very soon."
That "very soon" is July 27, �𓂃�with Superman: Son of Kal-El #1. Here's a preview:

It's not so much a passing of the🌠 Superman mantle in this case, but Kal-El growing the fꩵamily business.
"It's time for t🉐he son to ಞwear the cape of his father and bear the symbol of hope that has told the world who Superman really is," reads a DC statement.
Superman: Son of Kal-El #1 will come with a host of covers for the occasion. In addition to the main cover by series artist Johꦍn Timms, there are variant covers planned by InHyuk Lee, Stephen Byrne, Jen Bartel, Jock, Alan Qu✤ah (two covers), and even a second one by Timms.
