Adventures of Superman #1

In "Faster Than a Bullet," Superman races across galaxies to stop a colossal interstellar worm threatening a peaceful world, narrowly avoids a surprise assault from Darkseid, and works alongside a Green Lantern to prevent a planetary war—all while back on Earth, Lois Lane holds her own in a sharp-witted clash with Lex Luthor over his growing political influence.

In "The Way These Things Begin," a Smallville teen’s desperate bid to catch Superman’s attention ends in tragedy when he puts himself in harm’s way during Luthor’s latest scheme. As Superman races to stop the villain, the boy’s fate underscores a chilling truth: even the Man of Steel has limits, and Luthor isn’t just celebrating his capture—he’s proving a devastating point about the cost of being everywhere at once.
