In "The Death of Superman, Part 5: ... Doomsday is Near," Superman faces an unstoppable force as Doomsday bears down on Metropolis, leaving no clear path to stop him. With Lois Lane caught in the crossfire, the Man of Steel confronts the terrifying possibility that saving the city—and the woman he loves—may demand everything he has. Written by Roger Stern and illustrated by Jackson Guice, with inks by Denis Rodier, colors by Glenn Whitmore, and letters by Bill Oakley, this pivotal issue builds toward a moment that will change everything. The cover, by Art Thibert, captures the dread and intensity of the approaching collision.
