Superman: Savage Dawn #[nn]
In "Savage Dawn," Superman faces his oldest enemy, Vandal Savage, who has hijacked the powers of numerous heroes to manipulate a passing comet—once the source of Savage’s own immortality—into a devastating weapon. With the fate of Earth hanging in the balance, Superman launches a desperate attack, only to be pushed to the brink before the Fortress of Solitude intervenes and restores him. Written by Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder, with art by Aaron Kuder, David Messina, Javi Fernández, Bruno Redondo, Vicente Cifuentes, and inks by Aaron Kuder, Gaetano Carlucci, Juan Albarran, Javi Fernández, and Vicente Cifuentes, and colored by Tomeu Morey, Arif Prianto, and Wil Quintana, this 2016 DC issue delivers a high-stakes clash of wills. The cover by John Romita Jr. and Danny Miki captures the intensity of the moment.

Vandal Savage is using Superman's stolen power, along with that of many other heroes, to draw the comet that originally changed him closer to the Earth as it passes by, to give him yet more power. Superman makes a frontal assault that lets his friends sneak in. Vandal Savage almost kills Superman, but the Fortress recognizes Superman and heals him, bringing him back to full power.
