The advance solicitation and two covers for February's Future State: Superman: House of El #1 have revealed a very interesting future for the Last Son of Krypton. Set centuries into the future, the bloodline of EL has expanded across the galaxy as the Man of Steel appears to be leading a heroic dynasty comprised of his descendants.
The twins of the current Superboy Jonathan Kent appear to be keeping the family tradition alive as one is the new Superman of Earth while another is a Blue Lantern. Another one of his descendants looks a lot like Starfire, which makes sense as Theand’r Ban-El is described as having a Tamaranean mother.
The solicit also ends with the tantalizing tease that the Black Racer has a role to play in the series!
