Superman - Action Comics #9

In "Savage Dawn Assault," Superman faces off against the immortal Vandal Savage, who wields Frankenstein as a weapon and has imprisoned the Justice League. Joined by Steel, Ray Palmer, and the Justice League United—Stargirl, Animal Man, Adam and Alanna Strange, Green Arrow, and Equinox—Superman pushes through a relentless assault to rescue Wonder Woman, but the team’s fate hangs in the balance as the JLU is captured.

In a high-stakes clash of legacy and survival, Vandal Savage’s descendant Salvaxe is unleashed to face Superman, who’s just reclaimed his powers—though at a deadly cost. With Wonder Woman uncovering Savage’s shocking plan to weaponize Jupiter and plunder the Fortress of Solitude, the battle for Earth’s fate escalates in a fight that tests both hero and villain across time and space.

In "Resurrection," Superman’s battle against Vandal Savage takes a desperate turn when the immortal villain harnesses the stolen powers of heroes—including Superman himself—to summon a planet-killing comet. With Batman [James Gordon] and Lee Lambert racing to stop the catastrophe, and Baka caught in the storm of ancient forces, the Fortress of Solitude becomes the last hope. When Superman falls, it’s not just his body that’s reborn—it’s his legacy, in a moment that redefines what it means to rise again.

In the third chapter of "The Final Days of Superman," Superman grapples with the weight of his impending end as he reunites with Supergirl, only to learn she sought out the D.E.O. on her own. As he shares the truth of his condition in the Fortress, Wonder Woman arrives, furious he kept his fate hidden. Meanwhile, a man claiming to be Clark Kent erupts in violence at the Daily Planet, throwing the city into chaos.

In the sixth chapter of "The Final Days of Superman," a mysterious energy entity convinced it is the real Superman takes Lois Lane to a hidden cabin, where the pre-Flashpoint Superman and his son, Jonathan, are trapped on a new Earth. With Batman and Wonder Woman at his side, the current Superman must confront not only the creature’s growing belief in its own identity but also the haunting echoes of a past that refuses to stay buried.
