Superman: The Coming of the Supermen #[nn]
In "The Coming of the Supermen Part One," Superman returns to Rafi, Lois, and Orion after the fall of Darkseid and Luthor’s alliance, only to face a surprising new presence—El, a being whose authority even Darkseid acknowledges. With help from the three Supermen, Orion, and Izaya (revealed as Rafi’s dog Isa and known to him as grandfather), Superman turns the tide against Darkseid’s assault on New Krypton, reshaping the Boom Tube’s power to unite New Genesis, New Krypton, and New Apokolips in a shared world. Written and illustrated by Neal Adams, with cover art by Adams, this pivotal issue marks a bold new chapter in the Superman mythos.

Darkseid and Luthor's alliance destroyed, Superman returns to Rafi, Lois and Orion. He is followed by Darkseid, who surprisingly defers to the being now revealed to be called El. Darkseid retreats to use the Boom Tube to attack New Krypton and claim it for New Apokolips, but with the help of the three Supermen, Orion and Izaya (who had been in the form of Rafi's dog Isa and whom Rafi calls his grandfather), Superman sends Darkseid back to New Apokolips and pulls the Boom Tube inside-out so that New Genesis, New Krypton and New Apokolips can all share a divided planet.
