☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "...And Not a Drop to Drink," a Kryptonian newsman uncovers a chilling secret: Fel-Kar, a member of the Science Council, knows Jor-El has been conducting forbidden space experiments—but has done nothing to stop them. As Krypton teeters toward destruction, the newsman realizes Fel-Kar’s true intent lies not in saving the planet, but in escaping aboard Jor-El’s unfinished full-size rocket, not the one meant for Kal-El. Written by Bob Rozakis and brought to life with definitive art by Gil Kane—pencils and inks alike—this poignant tale captures a final, desperate act of truth-telling on a dying world, with Tom Ziuko’s colors and Gaspar Saladino’s lettering adding depth to a story that lingers long after the last page.
In "Last 'Scoop' on Krypton!," a desperate Kryptonian newsman races to uncover the truth behind a Science Council member's silence on Jor-El’s forbidden space experiments—only to realize too late that the real betrayal lies not in the experiments, but in who’s trying to escape Krypton’s collapse. Written by a master of the genre and illustrated with striking detail, this poignant eight-page story captures a final, defiant moment of truth in a dying world.
In "Past Imperfect!", Clark Kent’s sudden collapse at the Daily Planet sends shockwaves through the present, while the past remains trapped in a deadly game between Lord Satanis and Syrene. With the Atom and the Flash racing against time using the Time Pool and the Cosmic Treadmill, their desperate attempts to alter history only deepen the mystery—especially as a different Superman, still bound to the ancient conflict, is now vulnerable to possession.
In "World Enough and Time," Clark Kent’s return from the dead shakes the world, as Superman races to find Rip Hunter and harness time travel to undo a growing threat. With Lord Satanis wielding a duplicate Superman’s powers and Syrene locked in a deadly struggle, the past and present collide in a battle that defies time itself.
In "Rebirth!", Superman's unintended actions set off a chain of events that free Brainiac from his prison, leading the alien intellect on a journey through the cosmos that transforms him in ways no one could predict. When Brainiac finally calls Superman to Systus 2, the hero finds himself stripped of his powers—and face to face with a changed enemy who has become something entirely new.
In "...With But a Single Step!," Superman faces a transformed Brainiac, now wielding a new form and rallying an alien army. As Earth's skies darken, the Forgotten Heroes begin to assemble, drawn together by forces beyond their understanding.
In "Another Time! Another Death!", Superman fights a creeping alien infestation triggered by Vandal Savage’s spores, as a bizarre dome of wild, otherworldly plant life begins to consume Metropolis. Meanwhile, the Forgotten Heroes share tales of discovering mysterious golden temples across the globe—each a puzzle in a mystery that may hold the key to stopping the spreading bloom.
In "The World at Time's End!", Superman teams up with the Forgotten Heroes to confront Vandal Savage’s deadly plants and the enigmatic golden alien temples spreading across the globe. As the Immortal Man unveils a shocking link to Savage’s ancient past, Superman’s fate hangs in the balance after a devastating final clash.
In "The Demon with a Cape!", Brainiac, freed from the heart of a dying planet, launches a coldly calculated vendetta against Superman. Using a world governed by a super-computer, he turns its citizens into a vast, mechanized army, forging weapons designed to break the Man of Steel.
In "With One Magic Word," Sivana harnesses Shazam’s stolen magic to challenge Captain Marvel, then turns his sights on Superman—accidentally banishing the original to a Kryptonite-laden meteor on Earth-2 before setting a trap on Earth-1. With help from the Elders, Captain Marvel breaks free and races to save the Man of Steel, setting off a chain of events that awakens the ancient magic of Shazam.
