Future State: House of El, Clark Kent's future family was brought in as a Game of Thrones-like faction. In the future, they fought off the Red King's armada, with some vital last-minute help from the original Superman himself.
It's exciting to see Clark's future family return as readers were only briefly given a glimpse into their lives in Future State. Superman's family has always played a big part in shaping his adventures. For instance, think about how important Jonathan is currently in the present. The annual will connect to the events of Superman's story "Warworld Rising," which means readers should stay up to date with Superman if they want to understand the full context of the events of tomorrow.

- The return of Future State’s House of El! It’s time to head back to tomorrow, as Superman’s descendants face a threat from today. This special tale connects to “Warworld Rising” as the actions of Clark Kent in the present reverberate, leaving long-lasting changes...and a deadly threat for the House of El to reckon with. Can Brandon Kent, the Superman of his era, stop the danger from hurting the next generation? Also, for those wanting to know more about Brandon’s relationship with Theand’r, the Tamaranean queen, prepare yourself for a little romance as well.
The solicitation teases that Superman's actions in the present have resulted in this issue's deadly threat surfacing. It's likely that time travel has a part to play in the villain's arrival as it says the villain is "a threat from today." The cover would have readers believe that Old Man Clark is the villain, as he looms in the background. However, he isn't from the past, therefore, it can be assumed that a villain other than old Clark will be revealed in the issues of Superman. DC Comics' Action Comics 2021 Annual will be available in comic book shops and on digital platforms on June 29.
