Stories

  • Fragmentation · 22 pages

    Superman is troubled by Wonder Woman's execution of Max Lord, while Batman believes that Superman is a serious danger to the world since he can be mind-controlled to cause destruction.

Publisher’s description

After the events of Superman Sacrifice where Superman was mind controlled by Maxwell Lord, he made him believe that his loved ones were attacked and killed by his enemies. In the middle of one of this confusion, Superman almost killed Batman, the threat was put to a stop when Wonder Woman had no choice but to kill Maxwell Lord and release the hold he had on Superman. In this issue we'll see the aftermath, Superman's reaction and emotional state from what happened, also how Batman feels about all this.
