Clark investigates the recent murders of mob members, rumored to be killed by a mysterious "red cloud". Clark and Lois have a reunion, but Lois decides she needs some time on her own to write. Superman stops an attempted break-out at Iron Heights.

Publisher’s description

Superman confronts Lois Lane and wants answers: Where is Jon Kent? What happened during Lois’ trip into space with Jor-El? Why didn’t she contact the Man of Steel when she returned? And most importantly, does she still love him? Or is the world-famous reporter looking to let Clark Kent down easy? Lois and Clark’s relationship gets redefined in this issue illustrated by acclaimed artist Ryan Sook!
