“Another Time! Another Death!”

In "Another Time! Another Death!", Superman faces a terrifying new threat when Vandal Savage's spores trigger a surge of alien plant life, encasing Metropolis in a growing, uncontrollable dome. Meanwhile, the Forgotten Heroes, scattered across the globe, begin to share strange tales of discovering identical golden temples—each holding secrets that may hold the key to stopping the invasion.
