• Path of Doom, Part Three · 20 pages

  Superman and Lex Luthor continue their fight against Doomsday, with Clark Kent refusing to leave the scene. When the fight results in a catastrophic explosion, it looks like Kent may regret that decision, as only Doomsday emerges from the rubble.

Publisher’s description

Clark Kent gets caught in the crossfire as Doomsday crashes through the streets of Metropolis! As Lois struggles to keep young Jonathan out of the path of destruction, can former enemies Superman and Lex Luthor stop the monster that once destroyed the city and killed the Man of Steel—or does Luthor have other plans?
