Superman #658
Superman's face dominates this striking January 2007 cover — cracked like scorched earth, his piercing blue eyes blazing through the devastation as he strains with outstretched hands against a backdrop of fire and ruin, perfectly capturing the ominous story title "The Day the Earth Died." Kurt Busiek's script, brought to life by Carlos Pacheco's pencils and Jesús Merino's inks, promises a Superman pushed to his absolute limits in "The Last Tomorrow." It's a visually arresting issue that wastes no time signaling the weight of what the Man of Steel is up against.

Lois journals the future war, as Luthor's forces fight Khyber's. Parasite dies and Khyber joins the battle. Superman drags Khyber above the nuclear winter clouds, almost killing him, but instead Khyber kills him. Sirocco kills Khyber, losing his life in the process. After some years, most people have died; Lois in 2045. Jimmy continues her journal, with his final entry in 2056. Back in the present, Arion argues that civilization has cycles. If someone holds back a fall, the fall may get to the point of destroying all humanity. He tells Superman he must not interfere; civilization must fall.
