"Prologue" kicks off Superman: War of the Supermen with a high-stakes clash as Earth’s heroes battle a Kryptonian invasion across multiple fronts. Written by James Robinson and Sterling Gates, and brought to life by Eddy Barrows, Cafu, and Eduardo Pansica with inks by J. P. Mayer and BIT, the issue sets a relentless pace—culminating in Superman’s fateful decision to imprison Zod and himself in the Phantom Zone, only to be pulled back by Nightwing and the Nightwing entity, leading to a shocking transformation and alliance with Mon-El. The cover by Eddy Barrows and J. P. Mayer captures the moment’s intensity, a 19.99 USD (22.99 CAD) entry in a pivotal chapter of Superman’s legacy.
