In Future State: Superman of Metropolis #1, a fractured Metropolis is sealed off by an impenetrable glass barrier, leaving its citizens in chaos. As the Manhattan Guardian scrambles to maintain order, the kidnapping of Jimmy Olsen forces him to confront Honest Mary—a figure whose unsettling brand of truth may be the key to unlocking the city’s mystery. Written by Sean Lewis and illustrated by Cully Hamner and Michael Avon Oeming, with colors by Laura Martin and letters by AndWorld Design, this first chapter of a fractured future is grounded in tension and moral ambiguity, all framed by John Timms’ striking cover.
