DC Sets Up Jon Kent's Impossible Choice in Kingdom of Zod Finale
Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1 previews Jon Kent facing a major decision as the crossover event nears its end, with a flashback to his Hamilton days.
DC Comics is closing out its Kingdom of Zod event by putting Jon Kent in a position where he must make an impossible choice. The publisher is positioning the son of Superman and Lois Lane for that decision before the crossover ends.
Superman: Kingdom Of Zod Special #1 is written by Joshua Williamson with art by Paolo Villanelli, per ScreenRant. The issue arrives as the event reaches its conclusion.
The preview opens with a flashback to Jon's adolescent years in Hamilton, when Clark grounded him for taking Wonder Woman's invisible jet on a joyride with Damian. In that moment, Clark recalled his own adversarial relationship with General Dru-Zod, whom he once forced back into the Phantom Zone — a fate described as worse than death.
Clark also told Jon that putting on the cape comes with responsibilities and challenges. Jon, introduced in 2015, inherited the Superman mantle from his father and has recently been using the Tomorrow Man identity after an encounter with the son of Earth-3's Ultraman.
