Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? The Deluxe Edition (2020 Edition) #[nn]

On the 10th anniversary of Superman’s disappearance, Lois Lane Elliot recounts to Tim Crane the final days that led to his retreat to the Fortress of Solitude. As Bizarro turned violent, the Toyman and Prankster exposed Superman’s identity, and a wave of Metallos attacked the Daily Planet, forcing Clark Kent to shield his closest allies. Just as the threat escalated, the Legion of Super-Heroes arrived with Supergirl, bringing a mysterious statuette that may hold the key to what came next.

In the aftermath of a devastating assault on the Fortress of Solitude, Superman confronts the shocking truth behind the attack—only to face a choice that will change everything. As the echoes of betrayal and sacrifice linger, Lois Lane, her husband Jordan, and their young son Jonathan find quiet moments of peace, unaware of what the future holds.

Clark Kent, weakened by a Kryptonian fungus threatening his life, flees south as his powers falter—crashing into a remote swamp where he encounters the only being who might hold the key to his survival: Swamp Thing. As the line between man and monster blurs, Clark must confront his own mortality in a place where nature itself feels alive and watching.

Wonder Woman, Batman, and Robin arrive at the Fortress of Solitude to celebrate Superman’s birthday, only to find him entranced by the Black Mercy—a gift from Mongul. Trapped in a dream of a Krypton that never died, Superman lives out his deepest longing, while his friends must fight to pull him back from a paradise that isn’t real.
