Jun 2008 · DC · 2.25 USD; 2.25 CAD
“Back in Metropolis”

In "Back in Metropolis," Superman’s early days as a public hero take center stage as he confronts Lex Luthor’s wild Lex-O-Skeleton 3000, recalling the guidance he received during his time with the Legion of Super-Heroes. Written by J. Torres and illustrated by Alexander Serra, with inks by Rick Ketcham and colors by Heroic Age, the issue captures the weight of a young hero stepping into the spotlight—while somewhere in the shadows, Brainiac watches, ever observant. The cover, by Alexander Serra, perfectly frames the moment’s tension.
