The Man of Steel by Brian Michael Bendis #[nn]
In "The Truth," Brian Michael Bendis and artists Ivan Reis, Jay Fabok, with inks by Joe Prado and colors by Alex Sinclair, deliver a gripping chapter in Superman’s journey as he balances his duties as a hero in Metropolis with a growing unease over a past he can’t quite place. While tracking down Firefly and Killer Moth and investigating a suspicious fire, Clark Kent is pulled back to the Planet to write up his stories—only to be haunted by a memory of Lois and Jon, whose whereabouts remain a mystery. The issue weaves in a decades-old warning from Rogol Zaar to the Circle, a decision that still echoes across the cosmos. Cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado.

Meanwhile Superman is busy capturing Firefly and Killer Moth, investigating a suspicious building fire, and returning to the Planet as Clark to write up the stories. But he is haunted by a memory of Lois and Jon, whose whereabouts are unknown.
