The collection includes issues #1001-1006 of the 2018 series, featuring artwork by Ryan Sook, Patrick Gleason, and others, as Superman investigates the city's underworld while balancing his dual identity as Clark Kent and his role as a father to his son, Jon Kent.
In "Invisible Mafia," Superman finds himself framed for a string of arson attacks after a young boy, Darryl Connors, publicly accuses him. With help from Melody Moore and the Daily Planet’s relentless reporters, Superman digs into a web of deception that leads to a shadowy figure pulling strings from the city’s underbelly—someone who’s been manipulating Metropolis long before Superman arrived.
In the heart of Metropolis, a body drops from the sky, sparking a media firestorm when Robinson Goode blames Superman—only for Perry White to expose the lie. As Clark Kent digs into the past, he uncovers a web of arson and deceit tied to the late Yogurt, while the city’s shadows grow deeper with the arrival of Red Cloud and the lingering presence of Boss Moxie. With Lois Lane unexpectedly back and the Justice League watching from afar, Clark must piece together the truth before the next attack comes—unseen, and unrelenting.
In the shadow of the Daily Planet, Robinson Goode’s dangerous game unfolds when he acquires a piece of kryptonite from Candy, a move that throws Superman into a sudden, vulnerable struggle. As tensions spike between Goode, Candy, and the ever-watchful Batman, a deadly chain of betrayals ignites—culminating in a shocking act of violence and a chilling pursuit that sends Lois Lane fleeing from Lex Luthor’s relentless grasp.
In "Invisible Mafia Part 4," Superman investigates a string of mob killings linked to a mysterious red cloud, while navigating a tense reunion with Lois Lane—whose need for space adds new tension to their bond. As he intervenes at Iron Heights to stop a high-profile breakout, the web of secrets grows deeper, with familiar faces from the Daily Planet and a roster of metahuman threats watching from the shadows.
In "Invisible Mafia Part 5," Superman finds himself caught between a shadowy criminal network and a city on edge as the H-Dial’s mysterious power draws the attention of Gummy and his men. With Melody Moore urging Clark Kent to abandon his investigation into the arson fires and Red Cloud launching a sudden assault, the stakes rise as the Question closes in on the truth behind the Invisible Mafia’s next move.
In "Invisible Mafia Part 6," Superman digs into a web of corruption when Mayor Hopkins abruptly halts an investigation into a string of arson fires—just as Melody Moore and the fire department begin uncovering troubling leads. With Red Cloud closing in and a dangerous vendetta brewing, Clark Kent must navigate a city where power hides in plain sight, and even allies may not be who they seem.
