Superman #263

In "Man of Molten Steel!", Superman faces a twisted threat when director Simon March, frustrated by a film production setback, seeks help from the enigmatic Dr. Phoenix. When Simon dreams of battling Superman as a flaming wolf, the villain turns that vision into reality—using the dream’s raw power to fuel a dangerous scheme. With Clark Kent caught in the chaos and Mayor Harkness watching from the sidelines, the city’s fate hinges on a hero who must outthink a mind bent on turning fantasy into fire.

In "Unhappy Birthday to You!", Superman investigates a series of mysterious disasters on Krypton, where the planet's inhabitants are overwhelmed by an uncharted emotional force. As Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen join the effort, they uncover a hidden truth: Kryptonians have no way to process grief, and a long-suppressed emotional energy is finally breaking through—threatening to consume the world.
