About this Collection

This volume collects issues from the 2021 Superman series, continuing the storyline where Clark Kent's secret identity is exposed to the world. As the Man of Steel navigates the fallout of his revealed truth, he faces new threats and challenges that test his relationships and his role as a hero. The collection features creative work by writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artists including Scott Godlewski and Daniel Sampere.

In "Superman ft. Super Sons," the world reels as Superman’s secret identity as Clark Kent is exposed, sending shockwaves through the criminal underworld. Lex Luthor grapples with his humiliation, Toyman considers a new life with Checkmate, and Mongul’s empire collapses when his son takes over—while an infected Supergirl moves toward a chilling plan. Back in Metropolis, Clark, Lois, and Perry face the fallout of uncovering Marison Leone as the head of the Invisible Mafia. Written by Brian Michael Bendis, Matt Fraction, and Jody Houser, with art by Michael Gaydos, Riley Rossmo, Scott Godlewski, and others, and a striking cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado, this 2021 issue captures a pivotal moment in Superman’s legacy.
