Superman #1
This volume collects the first story arc of the 2016 Superman ongoing series, following the New 52 version of the Man of Steel as he faces a world that no longer trusts him after his secret identity is exposed. Written by Gene Luen Yang with art by various illustrators, the arc explores the fallout of the truth being revealed and sets the stage for a new chapter in Superman's life.
In "Powerless," Clark Kent's secret is finally out—Lois knows the truth—and the fallout begins when he, Lois, Jimmy, and Condesa track down the mysterious Hordr organization. With the team facing a shocking confrontation at Hordr's headquarters, the real test of Clark’s strength and identity comes not from the fight, but from what happens when the world’s greatest hero is no longer able to save anyone. Written by Gene Luen Yang and brought to life with dynamic art by John Romita Jr., this pivotal issue features cover pencils and inks by Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson.
In "Powerless," Superman—still Clark Kent—tests the limits of his reduced abilities with the support of the Justice League, only to find himself overwhelmed in a fight against street thugs. As he struggles to protect others, a small, telling clue left behind catches Lois Lane’s eye, hinting at a deeper mystery beneath his vulnerability.
In "Before Turth, Part 2," Superman, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Condesa race to expose the truth behind Hordr_Root’s shadowy operations—only to confront a figure they believe is the mastermind, unaware that the real game is far more dangerous than they imagined. As the team reaches Hordr headquarters, the line between ally and enemy blurs, and the sky itself becomes a battlefield.
