Featuring art by Carlos Pacheco and Jesús Merino, this trade paperback includes issues #7-12 of the 2006 series, with Superman joined by a host of DC heroes including Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Justice Society as he battles to prevent a catastrophic future. The story delves into Superman's legacy and the consequences of his choices, weaving together cosmic stakes with personal drama for Clark Kent and his supporting cast.
In "The Weight of the World," Superman grapples with the chaos of young New Gods wreaking havoc in Metropolis while confronting deeper personal struggles, all as Arion of Atlantis closes in on a shocking truth about a man who once impersonated him. Written by Kurt Busiek and brought to life with dynamic art by Carlos Pacheco and Jesús Merino, with colors by Alex Sinclair and lettering by Comicraft, this issue blends cosmic stakes with intimate moments, as Superman wrestles with duty, identity, and the cost of never stopping. The cover by Carlos Pacheco and Jesús Merino captures the tension perfectly.
In the quiet aftermath of a fractured prophecy, Subjekt-17 recovers in the high Tibetan mountains, haunted by visions of a past that refuses to stay buried. Superman, grappling with echoes of Arion’s warnings and the weight of a future he can’t see, turns to Zatanna in a desperate search—only to find Sirocco, a man whose name he didn’t mean to speak, standing in the shadows with answers he may not be ready to hear. As Metropolis stirs with the sudden arrival of a new generation of Young Gods, the line between memory and destiny begins to blur.
In "The Big Picture," Arion [of Atlantis] confronts Bill Knightly, the man who’s been impersonating him, uncovering a truth that reshapes his understanding of his own fate. Meanwhile, Superman grapples with a chaotic influx of Young Gods wreaking havoc in Metropolis, forcing him to choose between stepping back and answering the call—especially when a child’s life hangs in the balance. As tensions rise and old alliances fracture, Arion and Superman face each other in a moment of stark confrontation, their paths colliding in a story of identity, legacy, and the cost of standing by.
In "Countermeasures," Superman finds himself under Arion’s control, turning him against his own allies—first at the Daily Planet, then against the world. As the federal Squad K closes in and the Prankster’s gang unleashes chaos, Superman must fight not just for his freedom, but to prove he’s still the hero everyone believes in. With the Young Gods in danger and the Justice League watching, he’ll have to outthink Arion’s schemes before it’s too late.
In "Tide and Torrent," Superman confronts a crisis as Arion [of Atlantis] manipulates the tides to send a warning, forcing the Man of Steel to intervene before disaster strikes. With Subjekt-17 closing in and demanding a choice between loyalty and vengeance, Superman must navigate a storm of moral stakes—only to face a far more complex reckoning when Arion [Bill Knightly] reveals a plan that could reshape the city’s fate.
In "The Fall," Superman confronts Arion, who has turned the Young Gods into weapons of war, forcing a desperate clash that tests both hero and foe. With the aid of a mysterious gift from the Phantom Stranger, Superman must pierce Arion’s magical defenses and unravel a deception that stretches across time. Meanwhile, Lana Lang’s Scancams shift the balance of power in Lexcorp, and Khyber’s return hints at a deeper, lingering threat.
