Comment(s):

Due to Kal-El's appearance as Superman alongside Jon Kent and Kara Zor-El at the United Nations, this story must take place after Kal-El Returns Special #1/2 where he announces his return.

Despite this issue being labelled as "Kal-El Returns, Part 1" this issue actually takes place after part 2 in Superman: Son of Kal-El #16.

Solicitation:

In the aftermath of Superman's epic Warworld Revolution, the Man of Steel is back on Earth and stronger than he's ever been! As he and Steel join forces to remake Metropolis as a true City of Tomorrow, two of Superman's most iconic villains take notice...and they have plans of their own. Meanwhile, Superman's meddling on Warworld has had unforeseen consequences: he's awakened an enemy so ancient and powerful, even this stronger-than-ever Superman will need the whole Super-Family to face it. Introducing new characters and beginning this new chapter in Superman's mythology, don't miss the kickoff to the countdown to Action Comics #1050!
