In "Chapter One: Voices in Your Head," Superman faces off against Livewire while grappling with an unexpected ally—Lex Luthor, who, from prison, offers unsolicited guidance on saving Metropolis. As Superman navigates a city reshaped by new leadership, he meets Neo Kekoa, the new head of the Metropolis SCU, and returns to the Daily Planet, where Clark Kent adjusts to Lois Lane’s new role as editor-in-chief. His investigation into a strange disturbance at LexCorp reveals a shocking twist: the company has been rebranded as SuperCorp, with Lex dedicating its vast resources to Superman’s cause—whether he accepts it or not. Written by Joshua Williamson and illustrated by Jamal Campbell, with full art and inks by Campbell and letters by Ariana Maher, this issue features a cover by Jamal Campbell.

In "Chapter One: Voices in Your Head," Superman finds himself caught between battle and bureaucracy as he confronts Livewire, only to be interrupted by the unexpected counsel of Lex Luthor—his archenemy, now a hologram in prison, still determined to interfere. Back in Metropolis, he meets Neo Kekoa, the new SCU chief, and returns to the Daily Planet, where Clark Kent navigates a new world as Lois Lane takes on the role of editor-in-chief, all while Superman grapples with the strange new reality of a LexCorp rebranded as SuperCorp—dedicated to his service, whether he asked for it or not.
