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.
