About this Collection

This second volume of Superman: Camelot Falls collects the conclusion of writer Kurt Busiek's epic storyline, pitting the Man of Steel against the mystical threat of Arion and the dark prophecy of Camelot's fall. 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.
