The fate of the father in the hands of his sons
This kind of tie-in is a volume consisting of two stories. In the first pt. In the Golden Age , Clark and his son Jon must face a new threat from outer space that has negatively affected Kal-El in the form of a masquerade. Monsters from the unknown rift hurt the hitherto indestructible older Superman, and the young one fears that this may mean the end of his mentor and father, as it is only the beginning of the troubles he has seen in the future.
In the second story that was used to name the whole volume – The One That Fell – Superman and his son travel to a distant planet to help an old friend Qarath O Daani. As it turns out, it wasn’t Quarath who was behind the call, and father and son must face an interplanetary threat.
About the new generation
However, the clue of the whole story is not a story about passing away and passing the “stick” on to the next generation. It is above all a story of emotional depth in the form of a father-son relationship. The problem of time and Jon’s rapid maturation became important, as it is in the current Ant-Man movie. The roles are reversed and this time it is the son who has to take care of the father. A very cheerful and family story. And all this is supported by really interesting drawings reminiscent of perhaps not the beginnings of the Superman comics, but the 80s and 90s, when there was a lot going on with the Man of Steel!
A prologue to something bigger
The title I am reviewing seems to be a prologue and at the same time an introduction to the events of the upcoming titles. It is also a kind of bridge between the New Frontier and what will shake the new DC Universe , however, at the same time it loosely tries to refer to what was, but it can also be a beginning for those who are not familiar with the DC universe and want to start exploring it .
