A hero without powers. A villain without scruples. And the fate of a city hangs in the balance.
In the aftermath of Infinite Crisis, Superman, Earth's greatest defender, is mysteriously without his powers.
Now it's up to Clark Kent to keep an eye on Metropolis, with the help of a few super-powered allies. Buth with Lex Luthor acquitted of his past crimes and ready to reclaim Metropolis as his own, it'll take more than friends in the right places to keep the city safe.
For Lex has obtained a powerful and ancient Kryptonian artifact.
Now, armed with a nearly limitless supply of Kryptonite, Lex plans to use this doomsday weapon to destroy his archenemy once and for all. But without his powers, how will Superman save his city and those he loves?
Now more than ever, the world needs a hero. More than ever, it needs Superman.
Acclaimed writers Kurt Busiek and Geoff Johns team up with artists Pete Woods and Renato Guedes to return the Man of Steel to his full glory in this pulse-pounding story of villainy, redemption, and heroism.
Collects Superman #650-653 and Action Comics #837-840.
