DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection #26

In a quiet, rain-slicked village where the past lingers like mist, a forgotten nail sets off a chain of quiet unravelings—each small absence echoing through the lives of those who once believed in order, duty, and the weight of a single decision. This haunting, poetic tale weaves a modern fable from a centuries-old rhyme, exploring how one lost moment can ripple through a world built on fragile foundations.

In "null," the Justice League fractures under the weight of rising anti-alien sentiment, as Batman struggles to recover from Arkham’s aftermath. While the Outsiders probe a mysterious Arctic fortress and Lois Lane follows a cryptic lead from a metahuman research facility to Smallville, Kansas, Martian Manhunter uncovers a chilling truth: Lex Luthor is being manipulated, and the real architect of the conspiracy remains hidden in the shadows.

In *null*, Wonder Woman and Hawkwoman fall captive to Luthor’s Liberators—only for Green Lantern’s ring to expose a shocking truth: they’re not machines, but cloned Kryptonian replicants. As the JLA races to free them, Lois uncovers the chilling source of the Liberators’ creation—Kal-El’s long-lost ship and the DNA that fueled it. In Smallville, Jimmy, whose body bears a dangerous Kryptonian graft, joins the battle, leading to a brutal confrontation with a mysterious Amish man who stands in his way.

In "null," a new kind of menace terrorizes Metropolis, targeting people instead of animals for profit, leaving the Daily Planet scrambling. When editor Perry White can't reach Lois or Clark, a young office boy steps up to report the story—earning his first by-line in the process.
