JOR-EL’S REVOLUTION PRESSES ON! Some years have passed since Jor-El made his first appearance as Superman. Since then, he’s revolutionized humanity’s abilities and technology. Medicine has leapt forward, agriculture is more sustainable for the environment, and the world feels safe. But people have also taken Jor-El’s technology and turned it into tools to be used against others. Can Jor-El find a way to appeal to people’s greater good, or has he just armed society with even more powerful weapons?

A ThunderCats X SilverHawks tie-in! Mumm-Ra arrives on a new, vibrant planet. He makes allies. Grows in stature. Feels welcome. But the hunger…the hunger for power cannot be sated, and Mumm-Ra always wants more…
In a corner of far-flung space, a world explodes. A lone rocket escapes the destruction and races through space, ultimately landing on a small farm in small-town Kansas. A kindly couple steps with trepidation toward the alien craft as the door opens. Out steps a man named Jor-El, the sole survivor of the planet Krypton! As Jor-El fits in to his new home, he realizes that he can help the world, not just with his newfound powers but with his intellect as well. Witness how a Man of Steel and Science saves the world! Superman: Father of Tomorrow #1 is an interesting Elseworlds tale that has potential but its first issue is a lot of setup and not a whole lot of new.
Written by Kenny Porter, Superman: Father of Tomorrow #1 flips things a bit with Jor-El arriving to Earth from a dying Krypton instead of his sone Kal-El. Porter keeps things pretty familiar with Jor-El connecting with the Kents and instead of adopting a son, they instead connect as an adopted brother to Jonathan Kent. From there, we’re introduced to Jor-El, now going by the name Jordan, and his impact. Instead of going in front of the world as Superboy/Superman, Jor-El, as Jordan, helps the Kents with their farm tasks. We get a sense that Jor-El wants to be helpful, sharing his technology with the world for the better, but is held back due to not wanting to interfere.
We see that change as familiar tragedy strikes forcing Jor-El to face that he could do good if he were to push aside Kryptonian beliefs and instead share his knowledge and abilities with the world.
It’s a familiar concept in many ways. A hero born out of tragedy. A hero realizing they could have done more if they didn’t hold back and hide due to some rule. None of that is new or different and that’s partially what makes the debut issue a bore. Porter doesn’t push things far enough. Instead of a superhero shaped by the beliefs and values of the Kents, Jor-El arrives as a grown adult already with those. We get a sense of that but it’s never really instilled as to the why of it all. Why is he hiding/holding back? Why is he sticking to the rules of a dead planet when he could do more? Beyond “thems the rules,” we’re never given the motivation and drive for the decision.
Danny Earls art is just ok as well. With color by Nick Filari and lettering by Lucas Gattoni, Superman: Father of Tomorrow #1 doesn’t feel quite the visually engaging comic as it could be. The opening sequence lacks drama and the issues biggest moments never really feel all that big. It lacks drama in the visuals. There’s something cool with Jor-El’s costume but overall, the comic has a lot of small issues that add up. Faces look odd. Positions of body parts don’t quite add up. It’s a very choppy and inconsistent art that at times detracts from the moment.
Superman: Father of Tomorrow #1 has potential, and it’s easy to see Jor-El overstep his wanting to do good and become a monster as well as the negative reaction he’ll receive by the world. But, there’s so many small choices, odd choices (why was Lois at the Metallo unveiling like she was!?), that odd up for a rather bland reading experience. This could be a series you can jump into the second issue and not miss much and here’s hoping that follow up gives a reason to do just that.

THE SECRETS OF MUMM-RA REVEALED! Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living has been a sinister enigma to the ThunderCats ever since they first set foot on Third Earth. Now, in the second chapter of author DECLAN SHALVEY’s epic 15-part ThunderCats X SilverHawks crossover event, the infamous devil-priest’s ancient and tortured history will finally be unveiled! It all begins in a pyramid — but not the sinister black fortress that haunts Lion-O’s dreams. This is Earth during the reign of the pharaohs, and for one nameless slave a chance discovery and a selfish act of cruelty will open a pathway to both freedom and power — for a price! Written by Shalvey and illustrated by acclaimed ThunderCats Lost artist RAPHA LOBOSCO, Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living #1 takes a deep dive into one of pop culture’s greatest villains — enhanced by appropriately atmospheric covers from SHALVEY, DANNY EARLS, JOHN AMOR, and ERICA D’URSO, as well as a special piece of classic ANIMATION ART. This debut issue also features three spectacular incentive editions, including an original cover from Shalvey, a special Mumm-Ra portrait from the WBD Library, and an autographed edition of Shalvey’s main cover signed by ThunderCats original series voice actor LARRY KENNEY!
DC Elseworlds continues its resurgence this summer as the line’s new series for 2026 begin to arrive from some of comics’ most exciting storytellers.
After first hinting that a new DC Elseworlds series, Supergirl: Survive, would launch during DC’s Summer of Supergirl celebration, DC now unveils the full scope of its next wave of alternate–universe storytelling with Supergirl: Survive, Superman: Father of Tomorrow, and Dark Knights of Steel II. In Supergirl: Survive, teenage Kara Zor-El and infant Kal-El are launched into a hostile universe as Krypton burns around them, while Superman: Father of Tomorrow imagines a world where Jor-El, not his newborn son, crash-lands in Kansas and becomes Earth’s greatest protector. And, in Dark Knights of Steel II, the fan-favorite fantasy epic returns to forge a new legend.
Kara Zor-El lives a life of small problems—school dances, family squabbles, and the impossible task of holding her floppy baby cousin Kal—but Krypton has big ones. As General Zod tightens his grip and the planet begins to burn, Kara and Kal are launched into the stars together, trapped in a prototype rocket and fighting to survive a universe that doesn’t care if they live or die.
Supergirl: Survive, a new DC Elseworlds comic book series written by Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan with art and covers by Rod Reis, launches on June 3. Parker and Sheridan (Eisner Award-nominees for Kill Your Darlings) join visionary artist Reis (New Mutants) for a harrowing Elseworlds tale of two refugees bound by blood, trauma, and hope.
When the planet Krypton explodes, a lone rocket escapes the destruction—not carrying Kal-El, but his father. Jor-El crash-lands in Kansas, where a kindly couple takes him in. As he adjusts to life on Earth, Jor-El discovers he can help his new home not only with his powers, but with his brilliant mind. This is the story of a Man of Steel and Science—and the world he saves.
Superman: Father of Tomorrow, a new DC Elseworlds comic book series written by Kenny Porter with art and covers by Danny Earls, launches just ahead of Supergirl: Survive, on May 27.
DC will also return to one of its most beloved alternate–universe sagas with Dark Knights of Steel II, launching July 15 from writer Tom Taylor and artist Otto Schmidt, with covers by Yasmine Putri. More details will be revealed soon.
Dynamite has recently announced ThunderCats X SilverHawks bringing together the two franchises for one epic fifteen part story!

CIVILIZATIONS COLLIDE IN THE CROSSOVER EVENT OF THE MILLENNIUM!
When Panthro originally set out on his mission to launch a new satellite high above Third Earth, he never imagined that he would wind up changing the destiny of two entire galaxies. But as soon as he boarded the mysteriously deserted space station and began digging into its workings, that destiny was set in motion – and now the day of reckoning is at hand!
Alerted to an anomaly at a long-dormant base in a quarantined sector, The Copper Kid, Quicksilver, and Chromium – the SilverHawks’ newest member – defy Stargazer’s orders and set out on their own to investigate. But as soon as they land on the forbidden planet, they are confronted by a fearsome band of strange, cat-like warriors – and quickly find themselves in a fight for their lives!
The battle is joined by more ThunderCats, including several whose fearsome abilities threaten to overwhelm the isolated SilverHawks. But when a second vessel appears in orbit, it becomes clear to Panthro that reinforcements are on their way – and not even the Eye of Thundera will be able to stop them!
