☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects issues #41-47 of the 2016 'Action Comics' series, continuing the 'Truth' storyline where Superman's secret identity is exposed to the world. Writer Greg Pak and artist Aaron Kuder explore the fallout as the Man of Steel faces public scrutiny, government intervention, and a new threat from the villainous Vandal Savage.
In "Hard Truth, Part One," Superman faces off against the newly revealed Wrath and her Frankenstein-like construct, uncovering the origins of her power—tied to Vandal Savage's long-reaching schemes. Written by Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder, with dynamic art by Georges Jeanty and inks by Karl Story, Wade von Grawbadger, Sean Parsons, and Dexter Vines, this issue blends intense action with deeper mythos, as Superman absorbs the shadow energy to free those trapped, only to see Vandal Savage reclaim it. The cover, by Aaron Kuder, captures the moment with striking intensity.
In "Hard Truth, Part Two," Superman stands firm as tensions rise between the residents of his neighborhood and the police, led by Sergeant Binghamton and Sergeant Mizoguchi. With Jimmy Olsen and Lee Lambert by his side, he tries to keep peace—until the weight of injustice pushes him to his breaking point.
In "Blind Justice, Part One," Superman—forced into hiding—tracks down leads tied to the mysterious Wrath, uncovering a hidden lab where victims of her black gunk are being experimented on. With Perry White’s urgent calls and a flash of Batman’s past involvement in the shadows, Superman pushes forward, unaware that the hunt is about to turn deadly.
In "Blind Justice, Part Three," Superman faces off against the menacing Wrath and her twisted, possessed Frankenstein, uncovering the dark truth behind her transformation—Vandal Savage's hand in granting her power. As the battle rages, Superman absorbs the shadowy energy, breaking its hold on the city, but not before Vandal Savage reclaims the dangerous force, leaving the fate of the power—and the future—uncertain.
