This is just the best.

Thanks so much for reading, Wendy! Don’t worry, Louis and Clark’s marriage is as secure as ever, as you’ll continue to see in the pages of “Action Comics,” the Superman (Clark Kent) title. “Superman: Son of Kal-El” follows Jon Kent, their son. (1/ )

To clarify: both father and son are using the title of “Superman” currently, much like two characters go by “Spider-Man” at Marvel.

Like his dad, Jon is a beautiful character with a lot to say about how people should treat one another, and clearly has a lot to teach us. (2/ )

Here’s a scene with Superman Classic in all his hetero glory, as depicted in the most recent issue of Action Comics. That’s Lois he’s… holding. (3/ )

*Adding* Jonathan Kent to the DC Universe in 2015 did not *subtract* Clark Kent. There is NO REPLACING Clark Kent. Both can exist. Giving more people an A-list superhero that they can see themselves in does not mean that yours--the one you see yourself in--no longer exists. (4/ )

I can't take credit for Jon's creation or the recent development, but I'm proud that he's there.

Here's what Clark's descendants look like in coming generations. Like Jon, they look different from him, and they give others the chance to see themselves wearing the S-shield. (5/ )

A big “congrats” to my good friend @TomTaylorMade, who has all my support. A heartfelt “welcome” to everyone who saw today as GREAT news, and especially those who now have a Superman that they can more easily identify with as a result.

To those who were NOT happy with the (6/ )

@TomTaylorMade news, please remember that the character of Superman represents the very best of us, and is there to show us the way. Anyone who imagines Clark would respond to this news from Jon with anything but deepest compassion and understanding, might reexamine their understanding of (7/ )

@TomTaylorMade who Superman is.

When I was a kid, Clark was the hero I desperately needed. There are readers out there now who STILL need Clark, and Clark is STILL THERE for them. He ALWAYS WILL BE. There is NO REPLACING Clark Kent.

But there are OTHER readers who need Jon. (8/8)
