Superman #3
This third volume of the 2025 Superman series collects issues #13-18, following the Man of Steel as he confronts a mysterious new threat that forces him to question the very nature of his powers. The story arc explores Superman's connection to the cosmic forces that grant him his abilities, leading to a confrontation with a dark reflection of himself.
In "Absolute Power: Magic Is Real" Part One, Superman strikes a dangerous bargain with Neron to secure the Map of Mordru, setting off a journey through the Dark Paths with Zatanna to reach the Multiverse and rally allies against Amanda Waller. Meanwhile, Lois, Mercy, Lex, Jimmy, and Siobhan race to the Fortress of Solitude—only to find it reduced to ruins, unaware that Waller has already sent someone to guard the Multiverse’s gateway. Written by Joshua Williamson and illustrated by Jamal Campbell in a striking, unified art and color style, this issue blends high-stakes magic and cosmic peril with grounded character moments, all wrapped in a cover by Jamal Campbell.
In the wake of Superman’s sudden de-powering, Mister Terrific and Doctor Mid-Nite race to stabilize him as Amanda Waller mobilizes a ruthless hunt for other de-powered heroes. With Mercy Graves aiding Zatanna in a desperate escape, the two regroup with a scattered alliance of fugitives at the Fortress of Solitude—where the echoes of past legends still linger. Meanwhile, in the heart of Metropolis, Jimmy Olsen, Siobhan McDougal, and Lena Luthor fight to shield Lex Luthor from Peacemaker and Peacewrecker’s relentless pursuit, as the city teeters on the edge of chaos.
In a world where magic has turned against them, Superman and Zatanna must navigate a treacherous, spell-wreathed path toward the fabled Oblivion Bar, hoping to rally forgotten magical allies before Amanda Waller’s forces close in. Meanwhile, in a besieged Metropolis, Lois, Jimmy, Siobhan, Lena, Lex, and Mercy cling to hope as they evade Waller’s relentless pursuit—each holding onto the fragile belief that help, however unlikely, is still out there.
In "Absolute Power: I Hate Magic," Superman makes a perilous pact with Neron to secure the Map of Mordru, plunging him and Zatanna into the treacherous Dark Paths of the Multiverse in search of allies to face Amanda Waller’s growing threat. Meanwhile, Lois, Mercy, Lex, Jimmy, and Siobhan race to the Fortress of Solitude—only to find it reduced to rubble, unaware that the battle for the Multiverse has already begun.
In "Maid of Mayhem!", while Superman and Supergirl are lost in haunting nightmares, Aquaman and his family—along with Tula, Tempest, and Princess Andy Curry—rally to defend Earth from an unseen threat, all while trying to break the spell that has silenced the world. With the fate of Metropolis hanging in the balance, even the mysterious Drenched and the enigmatic Super-Reaper may hold the key to waking the Man of Steel.
