In "Phantoms Part Nine," Superman faces an impossible choice: plunge into the sun to destroy Aethyr’s energy-siphoning device, knowing the resulting backlash could annihilate the Phantom Zone’s imprisoned inhabitants. With a daring plan to save them, he must confront unexpected resistance from the people of Kandor, testing his resolve and the limits of his compassion. Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Clayton Henry and Michael Shelfer, with colors by Matt Herms and letters by Dave Sharpe, this issue’s cover by Clayton Henry captures the gravity of the moment.
