☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Prologue," the heroes battle the Kryptonian army across multiple fronts, with Superboy turning the tide using a Phantom Zone projector. As Supergirl, Steel, and the Guardian overcome General Lane’s forces, a moment of vengeance nearly overtakes Supergirl—only for Lane to end his own life. Superman attempts to imprison Zod and himself within the Zone, but Nightwing and the Nightwing entity intervene, sending Superman back. In a pivotal shift, Nightwing de-ages and merges with Mon-El. Written by James Robinson and Sterling Gates, with art by Eddy Barrows, Cafu, and Eduardo Pansica, and cover by Eddy Barrows and J. P. Mayer, this 2012 issue sets the stage for a war that redefines legacy and identity.
Lois Lane pieces together the past two years of Superman’s life for a Daily Planet article, but some moments remain unclear—until Jimmy Olsen arrives with the missing details. With memories of heroes and villains from Krypton’s fall still vivid, the truth behind the blanks begins to take shape.
In the wake of Zod’s assault on Earth, Superman races to halt the escalating war, facing off against General Zod, Ursa, and Non as New Krypton burns. With Alura’s fate sealed and Reactron’s true nature revealed, the battle for survival reaches a breaking point—just as the remnants of Krypton’s legacy hang in the balance.
In the wake of New Krypton’s fall, Superman, Supergirl, and General Zod face a dire new threat as the Kryptonian fleet advances on Earth—leaving Mars in ruins and the Human Defense Corps shattered. With Earth’s last line of defense crumbling, General Sam Lane makes a desperate gamble, enlisting Lex Luthor to turn the sun red in a bid to cripple the Kryptonians’ power. As the fate of Earth hangs in the balance, alliances are tested and the line between hero and villain blurs.
In "Part 3: The Battle for Earth," Superman and Supergirl return to Earth after the sun’s sudden red shift, only to find the planet under siege by General Zod and Ursa. With Flamebird’s sacrifice restoring the sun and the Kryptonian survivors regrouping, the heroes must stand together—facing off against the invading forces and the lingering shadows of a war that never truly ended.
In "Part 4: The Battle for Survival," Superman, Supergirl, and a fractured alliance of heroes stand against the overwhelming Kryptonian forces led by General Zod and Non, as the fate of Earth hangs in the balance. With the White House under siege and Project 7734’s secrets unraveling, alliances shift and old wounds resurface—especially when Supergirl confronts General Sam Lane, whose actions force a reckoning neither she nor the world is ready for. As the battle rages across Cairo and the Phantom Zone, unexpected choices and hidden powers begin to reshape the war’s course.
In "The Comeback," Superman rushes to rescue Lois Lane after she interrupts a scheme by the Prankster and the Parasite, a moment that reignites their long-separated bond. As they wrap up the aftermath and share a quiet moment after the chaos, the weight of time apart finally gives way to something deeper—reconnection, without fanfare, just real.
