Superman and the Authority #[nn]

In 1963, President Kennedy entrusts Superman with the weight of protecting the world. Decades later, an older Superman seeks to rally Manchester Black to a new mission, drawing on the legacy of past heroes and the echoes of a time when the future felt within reach.

In "Grimdark!", Manchester Black guides the Authority through a fractured reality after Enchantress is pulled into her own nightmares, while Superman faces a brutal confrontation with a long-buried foe. As the team searches for the missing Lia Nelson, the shadows grow deeper—and the line between enemy and ally begins to blur.

In "Widescreen," Superman faces off against the Ultra-Humanite in the preserved city of Kandor, only to uncover a deeper conspiracy linking the attack to other threats targeting his teammates. As the dust settles, he reveals the true purpose behind assembling the Authority — a mission that will test their unity in ways no one expected.
