\u201cI\u2019ve always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes,\u201d Tom Taylor, who writes the series,\u00a0said in a release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cSuperman\u2019s symbol has always stood for hope, for truth and for justice. Today, that symbol represents something more. Today, more people can see themselves in the most powerful superhero in comics.\u201d<\/p>

Issue #5 of the series will see Jon Kent physically burn out \u201cfrom trying to save everyone that he can\u201d,\u00a0DC comics said in a release<\/a>. Budding reporter Jay Nakamura takes care of him, sparking a romance between the two.<\/p>

The Superman: Son of Kal-El series made its way towards comic book stands in July, and sees 17-year-old Kent don his father\u2019s cape while trying to navigate his way through school.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Nakamura made his first appearance in the series\u2019 second issue, handing Kent back a blonde wig after the superhero fails to establish a secret identity to attend high school like a normal kid. Since then, he has become a staple in Kent\u2019s life, with Kent introducing Nakamura to his father in Superman: Son of Kal-El #3.<\/p>
