During DC's Rebirth era, Superman legend Dan Jurgens returned to the Man of Steel for an entirely new adventure-now collected in an omnibus volume! DC launched its Rebirth initiative in 2016, embracing the company's unparalleled creative legacy while also pushing its characters and stories forward in new, contemporary directions. 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. Plus, find out what happens when Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and their son Jonathan return to an Earth much like the one they've left behind...yet radically different! This volume collects Action Comics #957-976, Superman- Lois and Clark #1-8, Superman #18-19, Justice League #52, Convergence- Superman #1-2, Superman- Rebirth #1, and DC Universe- Rebirth #1.
