Yeah, I'm sure. It does mention a backup and the price stated is a mistake, the cover says $4.99.

Jonathan Kent has experienced a lot in his young life. He’s traveled the galaxies with his Kryptonian grandfather and lived in the future with the Legion of Super-Heroes, who were intent on training him for the day his father, Clark Kent, could no longer be Superman. There is a hole in the Legion’s history that prevents Jon from knowing exactly when that will happen, but all signs point to it being very soon. It’s time for the son to wear the cape of his father and bear the symbol of hope that has told the world who Superman really is. Join writer Tom Taylor (Nightwing, DCeased) and artist John Timms (Infinite Frontier) as they usher in a whole new era for the House of El!
Also, “Tales of Metropolis” continues. Jimmy Olsen gathers his misfit heroes, including Ambush Bug and Gangbuster, to find out who the Projectress really is and why she set her sights on Bibbo!
Yeah, a Stargirl book is confirmed. An actual JSA book isn't.

Taylor said on Twitter that the $4.99 was a mistake, it is $3.99

"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
I checked https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic...on-of-kal-el-1 which has a different solicitation text which no mention of backup and $3.99 for both issues, I want the backups to continue but it doesn't seem likely
The July DC Connect has Superman: Son of Kal-El at 3.99 and mentions the backup in the solicit text but doesn't list a backup creative team - all other backup creative teams for other books are listed - and the DC Connect for August doesn't mention a backup at all. Think it's likely that the backup won't be continuing.
So "Tales of Metropolis" won't continue in Action Comics, where it was previously?
I have a feeling these solicits are kind of a mess. I'm not going to hold my breath or set any expectations regarding backups, price points, etc. What we end up getting is what we get...
