“On Our Special Day”

Superman #654 opens the Kurt Busiek and Carlos Pacheco era with a cover that immediately earns your attention: the Man of Steel hoists a massive, debris-laden axle overhead with one arm, his cape snapping behind him as three panicked civilians cower at his feet amid a field of wreckage. Pacheco and Jesús Merino render every muscle and shattered scrap with crisp, kinetic precision, making the sheer physical scale of the moment feel genuinely weighty. "On Our Special Day" promises a Superman story rooted in both spectacle and humanity — a fine starting point for this 2006 creative team.

Superman and the Technology Squad defeat Neutron, who is planting energy globes. At the Daily Planet, Perry assigns Clark two important stories and many crappy ones. Clark tries to cover them, plus lunch with Lois, but is interrupted by more teams planting globes. He writes up notes and misses lunch. Realizing the globes are duplicating Mannheim's pulse, he finds a huge Mannheim. He takes his catastrosphere but Mannheim teleports away. Clark finally goes home, too late to file stories, but Lois finished them based on his notes. They celebrate the 12th anniversary since their first flight.
