About this Collection

This volume collects issues #1028-1032 of the 2018 'Action Comics' series, featuring a storyline where Superman teams up with Booster Gold to confront a threat tied to the time-traveling hero's past. The collection also includes a backup story focusing on the Legion of Super-Heroes, written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by various contributors.

In "Booster Shot, Part I," Superman faces a dual challenge: navigating a tense dinner with Lois’s father, Sam Lane, whose skepticism about him only deepens when he shares his views with Jon, and confronting the fate of Cyborg Superman with a surprising, compassionate alternative to eternal imprisonment. Dan Jurgens crafts a grounded, character-driven story where ideals clash and new choices emerge, brought to life by Will Conrad’s expressive art and Ivan Nunes’s vivid colors. The cover by Francis Manapul captures the moment’s weight with striking clarity.
