Stories

  • The Black Ring Part Five · 20 pages

    Lex finds himself with Death, gazing on his own body (after it was shot in the last issue). She gives him a life review. Lex tries arguing for his life, tries to bribe her, tries to gain her sympathy; but she's heard it all before. She gets his views on the afterlife, and Lex refuses to accept his fate. But he doesn't have to; Death reveals to him that he's not dead, and indeed, he awakens back in his jet, quite alive.

  • Jimmy Olsen's Big Week Day Two · 10 pages

    The leader of the alien fleet announces that her people want to hold their annual celebration on Earth this year. Jimmy and Sebastien are assigned to escort them around the city, while Chloe researches more about the aliens. The leader takes a liking to Jimmy, and they go for a joyride in her spaceship, crashing into the Daily Planet globe. Chloe finds out that the planets hosting the alien celebrations don't survive the event.
