Stories

  • Invisible Mafia Part 3 · 22 pages

    Robinson Goode acquires a piece of kryptonite from Candy, who is part of Mr. Strong's criminal organization. The kryptonite weakens Clark when Goode brings it to the Daily Planet. Batman takes the kryptonite from Goode. When she returns to Candy accusing her of leaking the knowledge that Goode had the kryptonite, Candy tries to kill Goode, but Red Cloud shows up and kills Candy instead. Lex Luthor tracks down Lois Lane.

Publisher’s description

How well does Clark Kent know his own city? Are the threats targeting Metropolis new or something older and more dangerous than they seem? With mobsters being killed off and the Daily Planet staff hunting for answers, it’s up to Superman to discover what lurks in the underside of the city he thought he knew so well. Who is the Red Mist, and why has Superman never heard of someone so powerful and dangerous? And what is Lois Lane doing with Lex Luthor?
