(Super Spoilers) That Kiss From Superman: Son Of Kal-El

Published Mon, 12 Sep 2022 09:57:17 -0500

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool broke the news that Jonathan Kent, the current Superman of Metropolis, was to come out in a very public way, to the rest of the DC Universe. The son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, covering for his dad for the last year while he was away on the Warworld, has been seeing Jay Nakamura,also known as social activist The Truth, and he has told his family and close friends, but that's all.

But in Superman: Son Of Kal-El #15 out this Tuesday, it all goes a bit more public towards the rest of the DC Universe. Not through any staged declaration, public speech, or press conference, as his father did when he came out about his identity as both Superman and Clark Kent. But with a kiss.

As a bisexual young man, Jonathan Kent is the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane and the current Superman of Metropolis, a story you first heard about on Bleeding Cool. Since that point, the identity of Jonathan Kent has also been publicly known. But this is more about his choice of companion, which has only been shared amongst family and friends. The world knows about Clark Kent and Lois Lane, they are now about to learn the truth about Jon Kent and Jay Nakamura, by way of a simple kiss, in public. And a shot destined to go around the world fast – both inside the fictional DC Universe, but knowing modern reaction media, everywhere else too. But as ever, you learned about it and saw it first on Bleeding Cool.

It is possible that there might be a slightly greater demand for Superman: Son Of Kal-El #15 by some people as a result. Given that it's not a secret to the comic book's audience, I certainly can't see it harming sales. But if any of the covers were collectible, it would probably be this cardstock cover at a dollar extra, right? Superman: Son Of Kal-El #15 by Tom Taylor and Cian Tormey is published on Tuesday, 13th of September, at comic book stores and digitally.
