Our favorite super-genius has a lot to look forward to this year!
In the comics John Henry Irons and his niece Natasha are finally getting their own series again with Steelworks from an unknown creative team (I’m hoping it’s Pak writing). Pitch is it’s John training Nat while also building technology to help reshape Metropolis and improve the lives of everyone there. Lana Lang may also return here as John’s LI per PKJ teasing she is being used outside of Action, another reason I’m hoping Pak is writing. Besides Steelworks Irons is also crucial to PKJ’s Action Comics where Metallo will be hunting Irons down to force the good doctor to find a way to save Metallo from his terminal decaying. Given Priest wrote the character before I would not be surprised if Irons showed up in his upcoming Superman: Lost mini.
Outside of comics we have our second live action JHI in Wole Parks returning for S3 of S&L which promises to feature JHI heavily given Intergang’s involvement, with them being the ones who killed the JHI of the “main” Earth.
