The collection includes issues #1-6 of the series.
In "Power Play," Superman faces a new kind of threat in Metropolis, where a shadowy Gambler is turning the city’s fate into a high-stakes game—betting on when and where Superman will intervene, then manipulating events to ensure no one wins but the house. Written by Robert Venditti and illustrated by Paul Pelletier, with inks by Drew Hennessy and colors by Adriano Lucas, this issue blends civic tension with a clever, unseen adversary. The cover by Rafa Sandoval and Jordi Tarragona captures the sleek, dangerous allure of the game at the heart of the story.
When Parasite drains Metropolis of all electrical power, plunging the city into chaos, Superman must race to stop him—leading to an unexpected showdown on the Moon. With Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Lex Luthor, and Mercy Graves caught in the storm, the Man of Steel faces his most electrifying challenge yet.
In "Against the Odds," Superman, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White navigate a Metropolis on edge as a city council vote looms over legalizing a casino. With the Gambler—Mr. Sharpe—manipulating public bets on Superman’s next intervention, the hero finds himself entangled in a scheme where every crime is a trap, and the only certainty is that someone will lose.
In "What Makes a City? Part One," Superman grapples with his place in Metropolis when Lex Luthor unveils a new anti-crime system designed to eliminate all threats—leaving the Man of Steel wondering if he’s still needed. With Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White watching closely, and the Royal Flush Gang and Atomic Skull already stirring trouble, the city’s future hangs in the balance.
