In Superman: The Dark Side #nn, a pivotal moment unfolds as Lightray makes a final, selfless stand to empower Superman in his battle against Darkseid. Written by John Francis Moore and Kieron Dwyer, with art by Kieron Dwyer and cover by Kieron Dwyer and Karl Kesel, this 1999 issue captures the quiet aftermath of cosmic conflict as Earth and Apokolips begin to heal from the scars left by Darkseid’s reign.
In the wake of a fractured journey across Earth, Superman grapples with the weight of his past actions against the New Gods, finding uneasy redemption in his role as a protector. When Darkseid captures him, seeking the anti-life equation, the hero's resolve is tested as old allies and enemies—Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Lex Luthor, and even the enigmatic Metron—draw into a crisis that threatens to unravel the balance of power.
