• Path of Doom, Conclusion · 20 pages

  Mr. Oz's men are unable to capture Doomsday, so Superman tosses the creature to his Fortress. With the help of Wonder Woman, Superman is able to use his makeshift Phantom Zone projector on Doomsday, but the monster is diverted into Mr. Oz's custody.

Publisher’s description

In the epic conclusion, the mystery of Black Zero deepens just as the Man of Steel makes a fateful decision that may stop Doomsday, but also risks the lives of those he loves most.
