Imagine a world where Superman is stopping a bank robbery, but every weapon is packed with Kryptonite ammunition and every petty criminal carries a Kryptonite shiv.This is a world of unlimited danger on a level that Superman, and DC’s Superman family of characters, has never faced before.” Slott penned the series, with art and cover by Albuquerque and Marcelo Maiolo.The main cover will retail at $4.99 while card stock variants will retail at $5.99.
