Description
Superman: Son of Kal-El Vol. 2: The Rising follows Jonathan Kent as earth's new Man of Steel. With his father, Clark Kent, off-world battling in the universe, Jonathan steps up to defend the planet. Between fighting a dictatorship in a foreign nation and battling giant sea creatures, he faces the most challenging physical attack of his life. The pressure is immense—will he follow in his father's footsteps or forge his own path?
Despite the overwhelming odds, Jonathan is ready for change. With his new ally, Jay Nakamura, he stands against the dictator of Gamorra, Henry Bendix, who has taken Jay's mother captive. Along the way, Jonathan teams up with Jackson Hyde, also known as Aqualand, to confront a creature from the depths of the sea unleashed by Lex Luthor.
Through each adventure, Jonathan Kent will define what it truly means to be The Man of Steel. Join him in this thrilling instalment as he navigates unexpected alliances and formidable foes, all while shaping the destiny of Superman.
