Superman Confidential #9

In "Supertown," Superman is brought to New Genesis by Orion, where Highfather reveals the ancient pact between New Genesis and Apokolips—and the role he hopes Superman might play should the two worlds clash. When Highfather shows Superman a clash between Mantis and the Forever People above Metropolis, the Man of Steel insists on returning home. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, with art by Chris Batista and inks by Prentis Rollins and Cam Smith, and a cover by Chris Batista and Cam Smith, this 2008 issue blends cosmic intrigue with Superman’s deep connection to Earth.
