Superman #39
In "Waffen," Superman faces a chilling threat as a riot steals bone fragments from Doomsday, triggering a race to stabilize the fragile city of Kandor before it collapses. With Perry White fuming over Franklin Stern’s controversial hiring of Dirk Armstrong, the pressure mounts in this tense, character-driven story from Louise Simonson and Frank Neubauer, illustrated with sharp precision by Jon Bogdanove and colored with striking depth by Glenn Whitmore. The cover by Tom Grummett and Denis Rodier captures the urgency of the moment, making this 1998 issue a standout in the series.
In "Waffen," Superman faces off against Barrage, a vengeful foe seeking retribution against Maggie Sawyer for the arm he lost in their previous clash. As tensions rise in Metropolis, Superman must balance stopping the threat with the personal stakes of those around him—especially when Alice White tries to rein in Perry White’s relentless work pace.
In "Durchgedreht," Superman races to contain the fallout when Riot steals Doomsday’s bone fragments, threatening to destabilize Kandor itself. With the city of Kandor in peril, the Fortress of Solitude becomes the last refuge, while Perry White grumbles over Franklin Stern’s controversial hiring of Dirk Armstrong—just as the crisis escalates.
