Superman - Action Comics #6
In "Prelude," Superman's return to Earth is anything but peaceful—he's caught in a transformation into Doomsday, his body slipping toward something monstrous. With Lois Lane under Brainiac’s control and Earth under siege, Batman, Lex Luthor, and a fractured alliance of heroes race to stop the threat before it’s too late. Written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Ken Lashley, Aaron Kuder, and a team of standout artists, this pivotal issue sets the stage for a battle that tests every hero’s resolve—no easy victories, just the fight to hold on. Cover by Aaron Kuder.
