“Grounded Part Seven”

In "Grounded Part Seven," Superman continues his cross-country journey, arriving in Boulder, Colorado, where he finds the entire town—and even himself—dressed in Kryptonian attire. As a mysterious voice spouts Kryptonian facts at lightning speed, he tracks it to the Flash, only to discover the source is a powerful Kryptonian headband he must remove to restore order. Written by J. Michael Straczynski and Chris Roberson, with art by Eddy Barrows and Allan Goldman, and a striking cover by John Cassaday, this issue blends grounded heroism with unexpected twists.

Superman continues walking across the country, visiting Boulder, Colorado. After helping Super-Chief capture some criminals, he arrives in Boulder, just to find himself, the townspeople, and the town itself decked out in Kryptonian garb. He also hears a voice spouting Kryptonian facts at hyperspeed, and tracks it down to the Flash. After just managing to catch up to him, he figures out the problem is a Kryptonian headband that Flash is wearing, and removes it. Restored to normal, Flash explains what happened, and over dessert they discuss morality, and also both heroes' legacies.
