Stories

Bridge the Past and Future · 22 pages
Expelled from Superman's Fortress and the Kents' apartment, the Eradicator program reasserts its dominance in David Connor's body. Steel and Superman contain the damage Eradicator causes until David Connor's humanity emerges again.

Publisher’s description

Leading into the New Year's Eve countdown to midnight, the JLA's Steel recalls an attack on Stryker's Island by the Eradicator. With inmates running for their lives, can even Steel and Superman hope to stop them all? And can anything bring Eradicator to his senses before next month's crucial Y2K/transformed Metropolis storyline?
