Superman: Lost (2023-) #1

Product Information

When a crashed alien ship risks setting off World War III, the Justice League intervenes in hopes of averting disaster. Unfortunately for Superman, the ship is suffering from an engine malfunction which runs the risk of unleashing a singularity, and the only possible person who can contain the singularity is him. Bravely stepping up to the task, Superman does manage to use his body to contain the singularity - but vanishes along with the ship as a result. That night Lois Lane awaits her husband's return, and is initially only mildly annoyed when he appears a few hours later than usual.

Oh, Crap!: Immediately after destroying Marquis, Superman realizes he just destroyed the only guide and companion he had. FROM THE EISNER-NOMINATED DEATHSTROKE TEAM OF CHRISTOPHER PRIEST AND CARLO PAGULAYAN Superman: Lost Finding His Way Home is Only the Beginning But fear not, dear readers, ol' faithful LOLtron, my AI writing "assistant," is here to join the emotional rollercoaster ride with Superman and Lois.

So, let's just dive into this preview, shall we?Forbidden Zone: The Dead Zone in the second issue is one. Played with in that while it's a Polluted Wasteland for the people of New Ark because of all the oxygen, for Superman the breathability and vegetation reminds him of home. Apparently, a Chinese submarine was sinking and the Chinese were hoping to rescue the crew and leave before anyone noticed. Despite facing some interference from the Chinese navy, the Justice League catches up to the rescue team, if only to find that it's not a rescue team, but a salvage team. This was not a rescue mission at all. It was a mission to recover an alien spaceship that had crashed in international waters. Percussive Therapy: Being abandoned by the space dolphins, who also took his personal survival kit, causes Superman to destroy Marquis in a fit of rage.

Originally announced in December 2022, Superman: Lost is a new ten-issue series from the creative team behind the Eisner-nominated Deathstroke series. The story opens with Clark Kent being called into space for a routine mission only to return home a short time later and discover he's somehow been missing for two decades. While Quesada has done plenty of work for DC in the past, he has been synonymous with Marvel Comics for the past decade-plus -- and is even credited with helping to save the company from financial ruin in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 1998, Quesada and frequent collaborator Jimmy Palmiotti launched the fabled Marvel Knights imprint. Two years later, Quesada was named Marvel's Editor-in-Chief, a position he held until 2011. After stepping down, Quesada began serving as Marvel's Chief Creative Officer. However, he officially parted ways with the House of Ideas in mid-2022. Later that year, he re-joined the Distinguished Competition as a cover artist. There's a Starman Waiting in the Sky...

‘Multiversity: Harley Screws Up the DCU’ #2 review

History Repeats: Superman ends up on a planet with a decaying sun that will explode soon. Trying to rally the people to save themselves gets his evidence denounced and rejected, just like his father Jor-El with Krypton. Hope lampshades this as she pleads for him to save himself and leave with her. Last Chance to Quit: The Contrectatio Horde offer to take Superman with them on their FTL ships and go look for Earth, if he steps aside and lets them pillage New Ark. Anger Born of Worry: When you're Lois Lane, you don't get scared or cry after your husband comes home acting like a complete stranger. You get angry and you demand answers, even if you have to interrogate Batman to get them. Ah, Superman. The strong, invulnerable, and apparently emotionally fragile Man of Steel. In this week's upcoming Superman: Lost #4, hitting stores on Tuesday, June 13th, we find our hero stranded on a comet and feeling a little, shall we say, "emo." How fun. While exploring the deepest recesses of his vast psyche, the Kryptonian poster boy is experiencing an emotional crisis that affects not only him but also dear sweet Lois, who's left grappling with the virtual stranger in her own home. Let's hope DC includes some tissues to go along with this tearjerker.
