DC Comics has revealed today Superman: Son of Kal-El #5 has outsold the debut issue as well as the fact that issues #1-4 are going back to print. The sales spike is likely due to DC Comics revealing Jon Kent is coming out as bisexual in Superman: Son of Kal-El #5.
The series has been incredibly well written by Tom Taylor and drawn by John Timms and is now joined by Hi-Fi on colors.
If you missed out on the first four issues, fans can place their orders at their local comic book shops for each of the single-issue reprints, which will feature the DC Pride logo on their covers for an in-store date pickup of November 23rd. Fans have 9 more days, by October 30th, to put in the orders.
Superman: Son of Kal-El #5 feature covers by John Timms, Travis Moore (NIGHTWING) and Tamra Bonvillain (WONDER WOMAN), and Inhyuk Lee (right) (BATGIRLS).
