Geoff Johns présente Superman #1
Geoff Johns and Richard Donner kick off a bold new era with Le Dernier Fils, a story that redefines Superman’s origins with emotional weight and grand scale. Set on the brink of Krypton’s collapse, it explores the fateful choices that led to Jor-El’s exile and the rise of Zod, Non, and Ursa—each driven by conviction, desperation, and the echoes of a dying world. Rags Morales’ powerful artwork, with inks by Mark Farmer and colors by Edgar Delgado, brings this tragic chapter to life, while Adam Kubert’s striking cover captures the weight of destiny.
In a quiet jungle, Lex Luthor contemplates the impossible: how to destroy Superman, imagining red sun fire, magic, and brute force before stumbling upon a kryptonite meteor. The weight of that discovery hangs in the air as he stares at the stone that could be the key to ending the Man of Steel.
In "Le Dernier Fils," Superman intercepts a mysterious ship crashing in Metropolis, uncovering a young boy with Kryptonian origins who speaks the ancient language and displays incredible strength. After bringing the boy to Sarge Steel at the Department of Metahuman Affairs, Superman is left searching when the boy vanishes overnight—leading him to confront Steel at the Pentagon and ultimately take the child into his own care, seeking guidance from his adoptive parents on what it means to raise a Kryptonian.
In a chilling, quiet moment, Lex Luthor contemplates the full spectrum of Kryptonite—green, red, blue, and gold—each with its own devastating potential. He channels that power into Metallo, fusing all four kinds to forge a weapon unlike any before, setting the stage for a new kind of threat.
In "null," a young Clark Kent intervenes as a mysterious rocket crashes near Smallville, only to find a boy who speaks Kryptonese and English, claiming to be the "Son of Jor-El" without knowing his name. After taking him in and naming him Mon-El, the two grow close—until strange dreams and cryptic warnings lead them to test his origins with Kryptonite, triggering a flood of forgotten memories. As Mon-El recalls his true identity as Lar Gand, a Daxamite seeker who followed the trail of a Kryptonian message, he realizes his time is short—his body can't withstand the lead that sealed him in the safe. With a quiet resolve, he asks to be sent to the Phantom Zone, leaving Clark with a promise to find a cure.
In "null," Superman faces a desperate stand against the Phantom Zone criminals who've seized control of Metropolis, with Zod demanding absolute obedience—starting with the execution of his own son, Chris. As the army clashes with the invaders and Luthor infiltrates their base, Superman races to save Lois, the captured heroes, and Chris, whose final choice will determine the fate of the zone.
