About this Collection

This collection ties into the 2006 Superman Returns film, gathering the official movie adaptation alongside a selection of classic Superman stories from various eras. It offers both a direct retelling of the film's plot and a broader look at the Man of Steel's enduring legacy through key tales that inspired or complement the movie's themes.

"Superman Returns: The Movie Adaptation" delivers a faithful, action-packed retelling of the 2006 film, capturing Superman’s emotional return to Earth after five years away. Written by Martin Pasko and illustrated by Matt Haley, Mike Collins, and Ron Randall, with inks by Haley and colors by Nathan Eyring and Larry Molinar, the story follows Superman as he reconnects with Lois, now a mother, and faces a renewed threat from Lex Luthor—whose latest scheme ties into stolen Kryptonian tech. The cover by Matt Haley sets the tone with a striking image of Superman soaring above Metropolis.
