☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Skeeter," Superman faces an unprecedented threat when aliens steal both Earth and the Moon, transporting them through a mysterious space warp to a distant corner of the galaxy. With the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, Superman must confront a formidable alien warrior and find a way to restore the stolen worlds to their rightful place—before it's too late. Written by John Byrne and illustrated by Curt Swan, with inks by Jerry Ordway and colors by Bill Wray, this issue features a cover by John Byrne, Jerry Ordway, and John Beatty, Karl Kesel.
In "All That Glisters," Superman finds himself at odds with Booster Gold over a controversial mission in Qurac, their clash escalating into a full-blown confrontation. When a second Booster Gold suddenly appears, the situation spirals into something far more mysterious—and far more personal—than either hero anticipated.
In "Point of View," Lex Luthor’s cold calculation of a battle between Superman and Combattor unfolds with chilling precision—only to be upended when Gangbuster steps into the fray, forcing a confrontation that reshapes the outcome in ways no one, not even Luthor, could predict. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, the truth of perception and action collides in a moment that leaves lasting consequences for those involved.
In "Visitor," Lois Lane finds herself in Smallville, where a quiet moment with Lana Lang unfolds amid the familiar rhythms of the Kent farm. As Ma and Pa Kent share a revealing memory of raising both Clark and the man he became, the past and present blur in a story that lingers on what it means to belong.
In "The Earth Stealers," Superman races to save the planet and the Moon after they’re snatched from orbit by a mysterious alien force and hurled across the galaxy. With help from Lois, Jimmy, and Perry on Earth, and the Moonbase team led by Skipper, Superman must confront a relentless alien captain and unravel the invaders' motives before the Earth and Moon are lost forever.
