The story delves into the dynamics of the newsroom, including the arrival of a new editor and the pressures of covering Superman's exploits, with appearances by Lex Luthor and a glimpse of Doomsday's threat. Written by Kurt Busiek and Fabian Nicieza with art by various creators, this volume offers a character-driven perspective on the Superman mythos.
In "The End of the Planet!", the Daily Planet faces its darkest hour when ruthless mogul John Wilton acquires the paper and shuts it down overnight. With their livelihoods in ruins, Superman’s old colleagues—now scattered across odd jobs—band together to launch a new paper from the shadows, chasing stories with the same fire that once defined their careers. Written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by Al Plastino, with a striking cover by Kevin Nowlan, this 2006 issue captures a defining moment in the newspaper’s legacy.
When newspaper mogul John Wilton shuts down the Daily Planet and forces its staff into obscurity, former employees like "Skip" Enders rally to launch a new paper from the margins of their new lives. As they chase stories in their side jobs, they find themselves in a fight for truth that reaches far beyond the newsroom—just as Wilton tries to bury their voices for good.
In "The School for Scoops!", Lois Lane takes on a new role as a journalism instructor at the University of Metropolis, but her classroom soon becomes a front for danger when gangster Nick Roker sends two disguised enforcers to infiltrate her class—posing as students with deadly intentions.
In "Dear Dr. Cupid!", Lois Lane takes over the "Advise-the-Lovelorn" column at the Daily Planet after the regular writer breaks her leg, only to find herself caught in a web of mistaken signals when she starts receiving anonymous love notes—leading her to wonder if Clark Kent is finally ready to confess his feelings, all while she plans to politely decline. With Bill the mailman delivering the letters, the tension builds as Lois tries to decipher the truth behind the romantic confessions, unsure whether she’s the recipient of a secret crush or just another puzzle in the paper’s daily drama.
When Chief Editor Perry White receives a mysterious gift, he unexpectedly gains superpowers—leaving him both exhilarated and overwhelmed. Now, with his usual sharp wit and newfound strength, he must navigate the chaos of his new abilities while facing threats that come with the territory. Superman, ever the concerned colleague, steps in to help—though even he might not be prepared for what a powered-up Perry White can do.
In "The Last Headline!", Clark Kent is tasked with documenting Perry White’s final days at the Daily Planet as the editor prepares to retire at 65. With the newsroom buzzing and tensions rising, Clark and the team follow Zack Dawson’s release from prison, racing to uncover his hidden loot and bring him to justice—proving that even in the final chapter, the Planet’s spirit endures.
In "We're Back!", as The Daily Planet reopens its doors after a hiatus, Lois Lane reflects on the highs and lows of her career and her complicated history with Superman—keeping quiet the secret bargain that brought the paper back from the brink.
