Stories

Metropolis Doom! · 23 pages
When a fireball streaks through the Metropolis sky, Superman investigates and finds himself transported across the world to Gorilla City. Upon returning to Metropolis, he finds the headquarters of the Invisible Mafia has been destroyed, possibly by Leviathan. Luthor and the Legion of Doom attack Metropolis and defeat the combined might of the Justice League, Young Justice, and Teen Titans, leaving only Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman left to stand against them.

Publisher’s description

It’s one of the biggest creator reunions in years as writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist John Romita Jr. join forces for the first time since their blockbuster turns on Avengers and Avengers Vs. X-Men. In this issue, it’s all-out war on the streets of Metropolis-and at the end of this epic there will be a huge change to the status quo of the world of Superman-you do not want to miss this!
