Superman: Action Comics: Phantoms #[nn]

In "Phantoms Part One," Superman and Supergirl face a terrifying creature that has broken free from the Phantom Zone, forcing them to confront not just the immediate threat, but the mysterious origins of the beast and the echoes it carries from beyond. As the dust settles, questions linger—about the creature’s past, the Zone’s secrets, and what other shadows might be stirring.

In "Phantoms Part Two," Superman ventures into the Phantom Zone to uncover the source of a monstrous threat that escaped to attack Metropolis, only to face resistance from the Zone’s imprisoned inhabitants—some of whom remember him all too well. With echoes of past conflicts resurfacing, he must navigate the treacherous politics of the Zone, where even the most infamous villains have their own reasons to fear the arrival of the Man of Steel.

In the depths of the Phantom Zone, Superman and Mon-El race against time to uncover the truth behind Aethyr the Merciful’s mysterious influence on the Zone’s shifting reality. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Superboy and Super-Man of China face a shocking breach at the Fortress of Solitude—its vaults emptied, its secrets stolen.

In the depths of the Phantom Zone, Superman and Mon-El push forward toward Aethyr the Merciful, only to face the lingering threat of the enigmatic Phantom King, Xa-Du. Meanwhile, Superboy and Super-Man of China awaken within an alien museum exhibit, surrounded by the lost relics of the Fortress of Solitude—objects that shouldn’t be here, and whose origins remain a mystery.

In "Phantoms Part Five," Superman awakens on Krypton moments before its fall, racing to find Jor-El to fix his solar battery bracelets before time runs out—while back in the present, Conner Kent and Kong Kenan fight off a relentless Khund assault on the intergalactic museum.

In "Phantoms Part Six," a powerless Superman, Jor-El, and Lara face trial on Krypton under the accusation of hoarding forbidden knowledge, while Ro-Zan watches from the shadows. On the intergalactic museum’s frozen plains, Conner and Kong Kenan stand firm against the Khund leadership, their resolve tested by looming threats. Meanwhile, Aethyr the Merciful stirs unrest in the Phantom Zone, and on Earth, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen begin to sense a new danger stirring in the dark.

In "Phantoms Part Seven," Superman and Jor-El turn to Zor-El in a desperate bid to recharge Superman's solar bracelets and reclaim his strength, while across the galaxy, Kong Kenan battles the Khunds at an intergalactic museum and Conner Kent faces off against the formidable Overadmiral Khuarr.

In the frozen depths of the Phantom Zone, Superman faces a dire threat as Aethyr the Merciful harnesses the sun’s power to reshape reality, risking Earth’s very existence. Meanwhile, Conner Kent and Kong Kenan navigate a tense standoff with the Khunds and an alien exhibitor at a mysterious intergalactic museum, where ancient secrets could tip the balance.

In "Phantoms Part Nine," Superman faces a dire choice: plunging into the sun to destroy Aethyr's energy-siphoning device risks annihilating the Phantom Zone's imprisoned villains. With Kandor opposing his plan to save them, Superman must find a way to protect both the sun and the prisoners, testing his resolve like never before.

In "Phantoms Part Ten," the restored sun brings unexpected chaos as the release of the Phantom Zone villains plunges Earth into widespread conflict. With Superman still recovering, a united front of heroes—including Jon Kent, Kara Zor-El, Conner Kent, and a host of allies like Batman, Zatanna, and Doctor Fate—races to contain the onslaught before the city falls.

In "Phantoms Part 11," Superman and a galaxy-spanning coalition of heroes—including Mon-El, Power Girl, Superboy, and the Super-Man of China—rally to confront the chaos unleashed by escaped Phantom Zone villains, racing across alien worlds to contain a threat that stretches from Earth to the far reaches of the cosmos. With the fate of multiple realities hanging in the balance, alliances are tested and old enemies resurface in a mission that pushes even the mightiest heroes to their limits.
