Superman: Savage Dawn

Acclaimed writers Gene Luen Yang (Boxers & Saints) , Greg Pak (BATMAN/SUPERMAN) , Aaron Kuder (SUPERBOY) and Peter J. Tomasi (BATMAN & ROBIN) , joined by a who&;s who of artists including Howard Porter (JUSTICE LEAGUE ) , Ardian Syaf (BATMAN/SUPERMAN) and Doug Mahnke (GREEN LANTERN) , bring one of DC&;s mightiest&;and oldest&;villains to the forefront and signal the final days of Krypton&;s last son. Vandal Savage can afford to be patient&;he&;s immortal, thanks to fragments from a comet he came into contact with more than 40,000 years ago&;a comet that he has since spent eons and spilled blood trying to bring back to Earth. A comet that, should he reclaim it, will grant him untold might. Savage&;s patience is about to pay off. Through his operatives, he&;s taken Superman&;s powers&;and, indirectly, his secret identity&;to siphon the collective strength of the Justice League and generate the ultimate tractor beam. As the beam draws Savage&;s long-lost comet all the way back to Earth, unsuspecting souls bearing the immortal&;s genetic signature are suddenly infused with maddening might, while their &;father&;s&; already-incredible power exponentially increases. Only a handful of heroes, led by Wonder Woman and a depowered Superman, stand between Savage and his comet, and soon even they won&;t be enough&;that is, unless Superman taps into a deadly element from his past to deny his immortal adversary a future of eternal power. Collects SUPERMAN ANNUAL #3, ACTION COMICS #48-50, SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN #25-27 and SUPERMAN #48-50.
