Stories

  • Up, Up, and Away! Chapter Three Bare Hands · 22 pages

    Clark tries out a Green Lantern ring, brought to him by Green Lantern and Hawkgirl. Clark says he'll think about using it. The Prankster runs pranks throughout Metropolis, and Green Lantern and Hawkgirl respond. Meantime, the Flea Circus free the Kryptonite Man from Stryker's Island, bringing him to Luthor. With the Prankster's distraction complete, he escapes capture. Luthor and Toyman incapacitate Metallo, and take out his kryptonite heart, adding it to more kryptonite they've collected.

Publisher’s description

The Man of Steel mulls over an incredible offer--with incredible ramifications--from Green Lantern. Meanwhile, someone breaks one of Superman's deadliest villains out of prison while another threat from his rogues gallery forms an unlikely alliance! Continued in ACTION COMICS #838.
