One of the highlights of DC Rebirth over the past year has been the return of a version of the Man of Steel that everyone can get behind in the pages of Action Comics and Superman, one in stark contrast to the Kal-El who launched  The New 52 five years ago. That Superman was a broody loner who didn’t seem to play well with others, wasn’t dating or married to Lois Lane, and wore an armored costume. Last year that Superman died, and the Superman from before Flashpoint returned, without the silly armor, married to Lois Lane, and with a young son named Jonathan Kent. (The red underwear is still gone. But hey, you can’t have everything.)

The assumption has been that the Kent family comes from a parallel universe, but a mysterious figure named Mr. Oz has told the Kents that they are not what they believe themselves to be. Oh, and there has been a mysterious third Clark Kent, who doesn’t seem to remember being Superman and doesn’t have powers. Now the truth of the Kent family, the dearly departed New 52 Superman, and the mysterious third Clark are finally going to be revealed in a new storyline called Superman Reborn. The four part crossover between the Super-titles (the first since Rebirth began) begins in Superman #18, and continues into Action Comics #975, Superman #19, and concludes in Action Comics #976.
