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!

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.

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.

Teaming with the mysterious Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Bucky assembles a team of black-ops heavy hitters – including the Black Widow, the White Widow and Shang-Chi – to pursue high-profile targets like the Red Skull, Kingpin and even Doctor Doom himself! But do even they have the firepower required to stop the American Kaiju from destroying Hong Kong? Plus: Learn the reason why Bucky made a powerful enemy in Wilson Fisk!

A classic villain makes his debut in Ultimate form, turning the Baxter Building into a virtual trap set to capture and eliminate the fledgling adventurers.
