☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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 "On Our Special Day," Clark Kent juggles a packed workday at the Daily Planet, a string of urgent assignments, and a long-awaited lunch with Lois Lane—only to be pulled into a crisis when Neutron and the Technology Squad begin planting mysterious energy globes across Metropolis. As Clark races to uncover the connection between the globes and a sudden surge of activity tied to Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim, he finds himself caught between duty, love, and the quiet magic of a milestone they’ve shared for twelve years.
In 1659, Arion the immortal sees a vision of Camelot’s fall, his crystal ball revealing a future where chaos unfolds. Now, in the present, Clark Kent arrives in Kazakhstan to meet Dr. Callie Llewellyn, only to find the abandoned Soviet Science Center in ruins—its grounds littered with the aftermath of a failed experiment. When Superman intervenes to help the injured, he’s struck by something swift and unseen, drawing blood. As Arion watches from afar, he realizes the past is already unraveling, and someone—or something—has awakened Subjekt-17.
In "Men & Monsters," Dr. Callie Llewellyn uncovers the truth behind Subjekt-17—a being born of alien origins and subjected to decades of Soviet experimentation. When the alien breaks free and attacks, Superman must confront not just a powerful enemy, but the legacy of human cruelty that shaped him. With help from unexpected allies like Arion and the echoes of past experiments, the battle becomes less about force and more about what it means to be human.
In a future ravaged by war and buried beneath the Earth, Superman’s return from the crust sparks hope and dread in equal measure. Arion shows the present-day heroes a world where Khyber’s hidden hand triggered global collapse, and now, with Superman reborn from the planet’s depths, the survivors—Lois, Jimmy, Lex, and a host of familiar faces—face a reckoning they may not survive.
In the scorched future of 2045, Lois Lane records the final days of a world torn apart by war between Lex Luthor’s forces and the monstrous Khyber, as Superman’s last stand ends in tragedy. With the remnants of humanity clinging to survival, Jimmy Olsen carries on her journal through the dying years—until even that ends in silence. Back in the present, Arion confronts Superman with a chilling truth: to save the future, some falls must be allowed to happen.
