“Reign of Doomsday”

In "Reign of Doomsday," Superman faces a twisted alliance when Lex Luthor, fused with a Phantom Zone entity, unleashes a surge of power meant to break him—only to be outmatched. As Luthor's desperate crusade for destruction backfires, Doomsday’s true nature emerges: a captive being, with three clones—each wielding distinct abilities—manipulating the heroes into a deadly game. Written by Paul Cornell and illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Pete Woods, Jesús Merino, and Dan Jurgens, the issue unfolds with layered tension and escalating stakes. The cover by Kenneth Rocafort captures the clash of titans in bold, dramatic detail.

Having combined with the Phantom Zone creature, Luthor has achieved enormous power, and draws Superman to him to break him, but can't. The creature reasserts itself, causing Luthor to grant absolute happiness to all, but he gives that up by continuing to try to destroy Superman. Meantime Doomsday has kidnapped several heroes. Superman joins them, but together they find that Doomsday himself is held captive and they've been fighting three Doomsday clones, each with different powers.
