Superman: The Man of Steel #97

Feb 2000 · DC · 1.99 USD; 3.25 CAD
“Bridge the Past and Future”

In "Bridge the Past and Future," the Eradicator's influence surges through David Connor as he's cast out from both Superman's Fortress and the Kents' home. With Steel and Superman racing to contain the escalating threat, the line between human will and alien program begins to blur. Mark Schultz's writing, brought to life by Doug Mahnke's art and Tom Nguyen's inks, delivers a tense, character-driven clash of legacy and identity, while Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary's cover captures the moment's high stakes.
