As part of Rebirth, Dan Jurgens—one of the most influential talents to work on Superman, with a major role in events such as the Death of Superman and the wedding of Clark Kent and Lois Lane—returned to Action Comics, the longest-running series in superhero comic book history, to tell all-new stories of comics’ first and greatest superhero. These stories, written by Jurgens and illustrated by artists including Patrick Zircher and Tyler Kirkham, are now collected in their first omnibus volume!
After an extinction-level event that shattered the cosmos, Superman found himself in a world very much like his own, but populated by a new breed of younger, angrier heroes—including a whole new Superman.
And when that Superman fell in the line of duty, the original Man of Steel stepped up to take his place. But at what cost? No sooner does the legendary hero take to the skies than his greatest enemies emerge to face him, from Metropolis’ self-styled protector Lex Luthor to the engine of death and destruction known as Doomsday.
From global invasions to cosmic reckonings, Dan Jurgens delivers a defining chapter in the modern era of the Man of Steel. Superman confronts enemies from his deepest past—General Zod, Cyborg Superman, Mr. Oz—and reunites the Super-Family in battles that span time, space, and multiversal truths. These stories reflect the shifting meaning of hope and identity in a world constantly on the brink.
The Boy of Steel returns! Mark Waid and Skylar Patridge explore the early days of Superman as Clark Kent struggles to fit into his life both as an adoptive member of humanity and as a teenage boy in Kansas! Of course, neither of those things is easy, especially when you also happen to be harboring your secret identity as Superboy, the Boy of Steel!
This coming-of-age story links the Clark Kent of the past to the Clark Kent of the present and future, creating the perfect jumping-on point for new and lapsed readers alike to rediscover the Man of Steel and what makes him a quintessential comic book icon!
A Cold War-era twist turns the Man of Steel into a Soviet superpower.
In this acclaimed Elseworlds story by Mark Millar and Dave Johnson, Superman’s rocket lands in the USSR—making him the champion of Soviet ideals instead of American ones. As the world teeters on the edge of a different kind of Cold War, Superman faces off against reimagined versions of Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, Batman, and more in a sharp political thriller that tests the very nature of heroism. With a legacy that still sparks conversation, Superman: Red Son remains a bold take on DC’s most iconic figure.
With Superman captured on Warworld and banished to the lower catacombs, he’ll need to team up with other enslaved gladiators to turn the hordes of Warworld against their masters. As the Warworld Saga reaches a breaking point, battle lines are drawn between the two towering forces at odds: Mongul and Superman.
Which heroes will survive the conflict and what will be the fate of the citizens of Warworld?
