“Suspicion!”

In "Suspicion!", Superman faces a pivotal moment on New Krypton, where Zod’s shifting motives and Alura’s invitation to renounce Earth leave him questioning his loyalty. As he grapples with the tension between his Kryptonian heritage and his human roots, a desperate plea from Mon-El in the crumbling Phantom Zone forces a difficult choice. Written by James Robinson and illustrated by Pablo Raimondi with inks by Walden Wong, this issue captures Superman’s internal struggle with quiet intensity, while Aaron Lopresti’s cover delivers a striking visual of the moment’s weight.

On New Krypton, Superman attacks Zod, but is subdued by his soldiers. Zod tells Superman that his motives have changed, now that he has fellow Kryptonians on New Krypton. Alura invites Superman to renounce Earth and stay on New Krypton. Superman says he'll think about it. And he does, taking Lois to the Fortress, pondering what Zod is up to. While there, he hears Mon-El pleading from the Phantom Zone, as it is collapsing around him. He pleads for Superman to release him, knowing that he'll die from lead poisoning if released. Superman reluctantly releases him.
