With the fate of Earth hanging in the balance, Superman leads a desperate frontal assault, relying on his allies to strike from the shadows. Written by Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder, with art by Aaron Kuder, David Messina, Bruno Redondo, Vicente Cifuentes, Javi Fernández, and inks by Kuder, Albarran, Cifuentes, and Fernández, this issue blends high-stakes action with the emotional weight of Superman’s resilience. The cover by Aaron Kuder captures the intensity of the moment, while colors by Morey, Prianto, and Quintana and letters by Steve Wands complete the immersive experience.
In "Savage Dawn: Assault," Superman faces off against the immortal Vandal Savage, who's wielding Frankenstein as a weapon and has imprisoned the Justice League. With help from Steel, The Atom, and the Justice League United, Superman fights to free Wonder Woman—only to see the rest of the team taken. The battle is just beginning.
In "Savage Dawn: Immortal Combat," Vandal Savage enlists his descendant Salvaxe in a dangerous bid to seize the Fortress of Solitude, while Superman fights to reclaim his powers—only to face a deadly cost. Wonder Woman uncovers Vandal’s shocking attack on Jupiter, realizing the true scale of his ambition as the ancient villain moves to crush Superman and reshape the world.
In "Resurrection," Superman faces his greatest threat yet when Vandal Savage harnesses the stolen powers of heroes—including Batman, Wonder Woman, and Steel—to pull a planet-killing comet toward Earth. With Lois Lane, Lana Lang, and Jimmy Olsen watching from the shadows, Superman launches a desperate assault, only to be nearly destroyed. But when all seems lost, the Fortress of Solitude awakens, recognizing its true son and restoring him with a power that redefines what it means to be a hero.
In a moment of quiet urgency, Superman takes Supergirl to the Fortress, where the weight of his fading strength becomes impossible to ignore. As the truth of his condition surfaces, unexpected visitors and a mysterious figure claiming to be Clark Kent disrupt the fragile peace. The bond between the last two Kryptonians is tested by secrets, loyalty, and the quiet dread of a future without him.
In a story that blurs the line between hero and imposter, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman race to uncover the truth behind an energy being that believes it is the Man of Steel—only to find it has taken Lois Lane to a hidden cabin where the pre-Flashpoint Superman and his son, Jon White, are trapped on a new Earth. As the creature insists the original Superman is an intruder, the Trinity must confront a mystery that challenges their very understanding of identity, legacy, and what it means to be a hero.
