A new cosmic threat puts the entire DC Universe at risk! It's a job not even Superman can handle, in this consequential early-2000s era event now collected in omnibus editions! The start of the new millennium marked a turning point for Superman at DC Comics, with talent including Jeph Loeb, Joe Kelly, Doug Mahnke, and Ed McGuinness joining the franchise-and delivering shocking new developments, like Lex Luthor successfully running for President of the United States!
