☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the final chapters of Greg Pak's run on Action Comics during The New 52 era, featuring the 'Superdoom' storyline. It sees Superman transformed into a monstrous Doomsday-like creature by the villainous Doctor Manhattan-like entity known as the 'Ghost of Krypton,' leading to a confrontation with the Justice League and a battle for his very soul. The collection includes issues #35-40 of the 2011 series, written by Pak with art by Aaron Kuder and others.
In "Unbound," Superman’s transformation into a Doomsday-like entity brings a terrifying new threat to Earth as Brainiac manipulates Lois Lane from within. With Batman, Lex Luthor, and a coalition of heroes racing to contain the chaos, the battle for control escalates—both in the skies and in the minds of those who stand against the alien conqueror. Written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Ken Lashley, Aaron Kuder, and a team of standout artists, this 2015 Action Comics issue delivers a high-stakes clash of wills, powered by dynamic art and a story that pushes Superman to his absolute limits. The cover by Aaron Kuder captures the intensity of the moment.
In the aftermath of defeating Doomsday, Superman awakens to a world that feels increasingly alien—his own mind slipping as dark impulses rise. With the Justice League at his side and Krypto by his side, he flees to avoid Lex Luthor’s scrutiny, only to find the Fortress of Solitude no longer acknowledges him. As Metropolis closes in and Lois Lane reaches out through psychic echoes, Superman must confront a terrifying question: is he still the man he believes himself to be?
In "Superman Doomed: Enemy of the State – Chapter 1: Nightmare," Superman struggles to resist the terrifying transformation triggered by Doomsday's spores, his body slipping further toward the monstrous form of Superdoom. As Smallville remains trapped in mysterious comas tied to a hidden energy drain, Lana Lang teams up with Wonder Woman to uncover the truth, while Lois Lane reaches out to Metallo on a dangerous mission. With Steel locked in combat against the Atomic Skull and the skies poisoned by a spreading Kryptonite cloud, Superman must fight both his own unraveling form and the chaos around him—before he loses himself completely.
In a gripping chapter of *Superman: Action Comics*, a Doomsday-empowered Superman—now known as Superdoom—clashes with Red Lantern Supergirl as Earth's fate hangs in the balance. With Lana Lang and Steel racing through space to uncover the mystery behind Smallville’s coma, Superman is thrust into a desperate mission to stop the alien warlord Harak from annihilating the Char, a species tied to Krypton’s past. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, Lana begins to suspect Lois Lane’s involvement in the psychic assault—just as she and Steel close in on the sinister Cyborg Superman.
In the gripping fourth chapter of "Superman Doomed: [Last Sun]," Superman—caught between his humanity and the monstrous form of Doomsday—struggles to reclaim control as Brainiac's influence tightens around Lois Lane. With Batman, Lex Luthor, and a fractured team racing to clear the skies of Kryptonite, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance as Superman's body becomes both weapon and prison. The battle against Brainiac's machines is far from over, and the line between savior and destroyer grows thinner with every heartbeat.
In "Superman Doomed: [Last Sun] Chapter 1 - Assimilation," Superman and the Justice League unite to stop Brainiac’s devastating plan to siphon psychic energy from Earth, pushing their limits in a desperate bid to contain the threat. As they attempt to send Brainiac’s mothership into the Phantom Zone, the effort backfires—cracking open the dimensional door and unleashing the long-imprisoned Non and Mongul.
In the aftermath of defeating Brainiac, Superman returns to Earth to find that even victory comes at a cost. With Supergirl by his side and Smallville under watch, Clark Kent struggles with a growing sense of irrelevance—so he pens a raw, personal blog post questioning his necessity. Lois Lane doesn’t hesitate to respond, crafting a fiery rebuttal that lands hard at the Daily Planet. But before the dust settles, a chilling attack on Lana Lang in a quiet graveyard sends shockwaves through the town, hinting that something far darker may be stirring beneath the surface.
