The Man of Steel by Brian Michael Bendis #[nn]

Dec 2018 · DC · 24.99 USD; 33.99 CAD
“The Truth”

In "The Truth," Brian Michael Bendis and artists Ivan Reis, Jay Fabok, with inks by Joe Prado and colors by Alex Sinclair, deliver a gripping chapter in Superman’s journey as he balances his dual life—capturing villains like Firefly and Killer Moth, investigating a mysterious fire, and returning to the Daily Planet to file his stories. Haunted by the disappearance of Lois and Jon, Superman is drawn into a deeper mystery when echoes of a long-buried decision by the Circle resurface, tied to a past warning from Rogol Zaar about Krypton’s threat to the universe. The cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado captures the weight of that legacy.

Many years ago, Rogol Zaar warns members of the Circle of the threat that Krypton poses to the universe, and pleads for permission to wipe out all Kryptonians. Appa Ali Apsa later notifies Zaar that the Circle decided against such action. Meanwhile Superman is busy capturing Firefly and Killer Moth, investigating a suspicious building fire, and returning to the Planet as Clark to write up the stories. But he is haunted by a memory of Lois and Jon, whose whereabouts are unknown.
