Jon Kent, son of Superman, and his mother, Lois Lane, are forced to move to Wyndemere because of global warming and the rise of water on the coastline. Superman is enlisted to go to Mars and collect dust in an attempt to build a polarshield in the atmosphere to cool the earth. As Jon is getting used to living in Wyndemere, he quickly learns that not everyone is welcoming the refugees, and Jon joins up with Ian Wayne, Batman’s son, to fight off the unfriendly gangs. Jon and Ian also meet Tilly and Candance, two girls who help them figure out who is leading the gangs.
I was excited to read a superhero book with younger heroes and the graphics are well done. The story line however is all over the place, with poor transitions and multiple characters with multiple stories it was hard to follow. My eleven-year-old son also read it and said it wasn’t great with too much going on. The violence is fighting.
