Stories

I Killed Superman! · 22 pages
Clark Kent wakes up after being shot by Rajiv Naga's men and captured, to lure Lois in. Superman remembers a previous adventure when he battled a thug who tried to get him to kill himself, but Superman had slowed his heartbeat to fool him. In the present, Clark does the same trick to escape his captors, only to discover he is in a submarine.
