Action Comics #1

In "null," Lois Lane Elliot recounts the turbulent final days of Superman’s presence on Earth to Tim Crane, marking the 10th anniversary of his disappearance. As Bizarro turned violent, the Toyman and the Prankster exposed Superman’s identity, and a wave of Metallo attacks targeted the Daily Planet, forcing Superman to shelter his closest allies at the Fortress of Solitude. When Brainiac possessed Lex Luthor and summoned the Kryptonite Man, the Legion of Super-Heroes arrived with Supergirl—and a mysterious statuette.

In "null," Superman faces a surreal assault at the Fortress of Solitude, besieged by Brainiac (in Luthor’s body), the Kryptonite Man, and the Legion of Super-Villains—only to uncover a hidden architect behind the chaos. As he summons Mr. Mxyzptlk to confront the truth, the mischievous being’s desperate escape fractures him across dimensions, leaving Superman to grapple with the cost of his victory. The story closes with Lois, her husband Jordy, and their young son Jonathan finding quiet peace in the aftermath.
