Superman: Camelot Falls #1
In "On Our Special Day," writer Kurt Busiek and artist Carlos Pacheco launch a bold new chapter in Superman’s mythos, blending historical mystery with cosmic stakes. Set in 1659, immortal Arion witnesses the fall of Camelot through a vision, while in the present, Clark Kent arrives in Kazakhstan to meet Dr. Callie Llewellyn—only to find a ruined Soviet Science Center and a terrifying new threat in the form of Subjekt-17. With Superman pushed to his limits and blood drawn from a foe he can’t see, Arion realizes the past is unraveling—and he must act before time itself collapses. The cover by Carlos Pacheco and Jesús Merino captures the moment’s weight, a striking image of a world on the brink.

In 1659, Arion the immortal has a vision of Camelot falling. His crystal ball shows events in the future leading to it. Clark Kent is traveling to Kazakhstan to meet Dr. Callie Llewellyn, a friend. The area around an old Soviet Science Center is devastated, with people dead or injured. Superman helps the injured, but is punched by something very fast, drawing blood. The center was abandoned when the Soviet Union collapsed, but left an experiment with creature Subjekt-17. Superman is attacked again and Arion observes this. He remarks about people tampering, and journeys to his future to fix it.
