Superman – Savage Dawn | Comics

Long ago, one of Kal-El's early ancestors, Im-El destroyed an incoming comet to Krypton and it crashed on the prehistoric France; home of the Savage Clan. Vandal and his father went looking for the meteorite and upon finding it, he kills his father and sought leadership as the rock made him Immortal. Throughout centuries he traveled many distant lands in search for more power, killing anyone who got in his quest. In present, Superman is having a hard time without his powers. Lex Luthor leads the Justice League to a mission, leaving Clark alone in the Watchtower. He heads to an emergency on Earth and then sees the Watchtower appears and then explodes right in front of him, killing many. Then Vandal Savage finally appears in the Stormwatch Carrier.

Just as Justice League United arrives, Superman charges at Savage and his children, trying to halt them wearing an armor suit powered by Kryptonite. He freed the heroes captured by Savage but wrecks the suit and is dying from Kryptonite poisoning. Wonder Woman takes him to the Gods of Olympus to save him. The poison is drained but it also made him powerless as his cells now cannot absorb solar energy. So, he calls Steve Trevor for a favor to use the Kryptonite vault of A.R.G.U.S. to try and restore his power. He emerged with new powers and as Savage fires an energy blast to Jupiter; he rushes to North Pole to save the Fortress of Solitude. With Kryptonite radiation killing his cells from within, can Superman truly defeats Savage and his children?

Superman – Savage Dawn

The Immortal Combat

The previous Superman storylines have explored the idea of a new Strange Visitor; Ulysses, (The Men of Tomorrow) Superman discovering new Solar Flare power and a mysterious enemy HORDR Root knowing his secret identity  was all a build-up to the bigger picture. In “Savage Dawn”, it is finally revealed that all the dots of the plots prior to this connect here and it doesn’t get better than this. Writer Greg Pak (Batman/Superman, World War Hulk), Gene Luen Yang (New Super-Man, Superman – Before Truth) and Peter Tomasi (Black Adam – The Dark Age, Superman/Wonder Woman) made it large with their envisioned plotting skills, while Aaron Kuder (The Amory Wars, Key of Z) also included himself among their league. Artist Ardian Syaf (Brightest Day, Flashpoint – Emperor Aquaman), Dan Jurgens (Death of Superman, Superman/Doomsday – Hunter/Prey) Doug Mahnke (Final Crisis, Justice League Elite) and Howard Porter (JLA, The Flash) did not only took care of the interiors but also provided cover arts. Ed Benes (Birds of Prey, WildC.A.T.S.) and John Romita, Jr. (Amazing Spider-Man, Kick-Ass) also made their presence known quite dominantly by delivering some of the jaw-dropping covers for the issues involved. Savage Dawn eventually leads to The Final Days of Superman; a prelude to DC Rebirth.

Superman – Doomed | Comics

As Superman started dating Wonder Woman now (The Villain's Journey), the media has already dubbed them as the “Power Couple” of the world. Following their recent battle with Kryptonian despot Dru-Zod and his follower Faora that ended up in a massive nuclear blast, both of them head off to heal themselves and a mysterious being of unimaginable brute force unleashes its nonsensical murdering rampage by killing whomever it faces in somewhere else.

Since its kill count is growing rapidly and anyone sent to the zone is dying from radiation exposure it exerts, the military calls up for Superman's help. Meanwhile, reporter Lois Lane goes to Smallville for investigating a case of citizens falling into a sudden coma like state. The Justice League finds out that the murderous being known as Doomsday is actually seeking Superman and Lex Luthor suggests he can save the planet by taking the monster along with him out of the world.

Superman – Doomed | Comics

Agreeing to this, Superman faces Doomsday in a deadly battle for one last time where he eventually kills him using sheer force. However, in doing so by ripping the creature in half, he also absorbs all of the exposure of toxic radiation by inhaling it all that the beast had released upon dying and he then slowly started to change like a Doomsday-like being. Not only he changed in the outside, Clark has totally lost his mild-mannered attitude and becomes more and more aggressive.

Worried for Clark’s well being and a sudden change of behavior, Diana sought their mutual friend Batman out for help and together, they visit the Phantom Zone for answers. Seeing his grotesque appearance and growing bestial nature, Superman surrenders himself to the authorities but even they deemed it impossible to contain him at one point when he becomes the "SuperDoom" creature. A recent attack from Metallo renders him weak, so Wonder Woman took him to outer space to figure a way out.

As Superman turns into a hulking being resembled to Doomsday, his cousin and newest Red Lantern member Supergirl and close friend Steel also came for aid while Brainiac keeps playing with the situation from behind the scene like a mastermind. When he finally shows up with Cyborg Superman and his armada to invade Earth, it appears that he has been controlling Lois Lane all along.

Superman – Doomed (Softcover)

Superman – Doomed (Hardcover)

Borrowing elements from the iconic "The Death of Superman" story, writer Greg Pak (Incredible Hulk, World War Hulk), Charles Soule (New Gods – Godhead, Swamp Thing – New 52) and Scott Lobdell (The Darkness, WildC.A.T.s) has put together the grudge match of the two most powerful Kryptonians in “Superman – Doomed” crossover event in 2014 from DC Comics. Unlike the original milestone event where the Man of Steel seemingly faces his demise, this one actually ventures into a different dive of ideas by the creators which contains some twists as well.

Rise of an Abomination

Artist Ken Lashley, Aaron Kuder (The Amory Wars, Key of Z), Scott Kolins (Legion of Superheroes, Superman/Batman) and Tony Daniel (Deathstroke – New 52, The Savage Hawkman – Darkness Rising) joined forces with these visionary storytellers to envision the results in several monthly ongoing series including Action Comics, Superman/Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman/Superman and Supergirl of The New 52. "Superman – Doomed" is one of the first among the many story-arcs that will slowly led Superman of the Prime Earth to the events of "The Final Days of Superman".
