"The Death of Clark Kent": Part One

Superman went quietly with Green Lantern & the SCU squad. More confused than anything, he now sits in a t-shirt & a pair of shorts in the interview room at SCU headquarters. Hal Jordan enters, carrying a file folder. Inside are lab reports and witness testimonies. The preliminary lab reports have identified the blood & singed hair samples as belonging to Clark Kent! Witnesses saw Clark leave Lois at the Lemaris, and Superman was not seen all night after dropping Blackout off at the precinct. Jordan, having known Superman is Clark Kent for years, knows how preposterous this all is. He explains that the Guardians don't care, and the fact that Earth is accusing a superbeing of murdering a non-superbeing means that it must be investigated. Superman agrees to be led to a cell until he can sort this out. He still has that headache, though...

Mayor Luthor, having received the news of Superman's arrest, goes on WGBS to pledge his office's full support in getting to the bottom of the matter. He informs the media that he's being told that the Man of Steel allegedly followed Clark Kent home, entered his apartment, and vaporized him with his heat vision. The theory is supported by blood splatters and hair left at the scene. Luthor confirms that forensics are still testing, but all indications are that the blood belongs to Kent. When asked if Superman has an alibi, Luthor refuses to answer the question. A reporter asks him if the motive has anything to do with Clark Kent dating Lois Lane, and Lionel excuses himself & exits the briefing room.

Lois visits Superman at the SCU. She urges him to reveal his secret to the world, because without Clark present there is no way to prove Superman's innocence. He tells her he can't do that, for her safety and for others, and that even though the blood can't be his, it must belong to someone. He explains his headache before being led away by Jordan.

At Luthorcorp, Lex watches the media storm on television. He sees the banner read "SUPERMAN: MURDERER?" and smiles...

"Time In A Bottle"

• Clark, dressed in the familiar blue uniform, stands alone atop the Daily Planet building. His eyes closed, he tries to focus his hearing...looking for a heartbeat. Suddenly he hears it - Faora's heartbeat - and he races away on foot to talk to her.

• In Smallville, The Kents are sitting down to eat lunch at the farm. They hear a knock at the door, so Jonathan excuses himself to answer it.

• Clark faces Faora, making it clear that he must find Zod. She tells him that she can't help him, as she is honor-bound and duty-bound to follow her General. Clark pleads with her, reminding her of the night they spent together at the barn. Tears rolling down her eyes, she quietly says "Home, Kal...go home." Clark's eyes widen, and he speeds away, faster than ever, towards Smallville.

• As he aporoaches Kansas, Clark's life flashes before his eyes: his first nightmare, and how Ma picked him up from his crib to comfort him. His first fishing trip when Pa taught him how to bait a hook. Prom, when he and Lana stood for what felt like forever as Pa beamed at his son & Ma kept snapping pictures to "get just the right one for the scrapbook." The excitement in their eyes when he told them of Krypton.

• He breaks down the back door when he runs into it, going too fast to stop quickly. He yells for them, but receives no response. He turns the corner into the living room...and the strongest man on the planet is brought to his knees in anguish. Zod stands in the middle of the room, surrounded by what's left of the Kents. He smiles. "Now we're even."

Superman Punches A Dinosaur
• “The thing is, you fight me once or twice after any given breakout before heading back to prison. Me? I fight every day. I may not like having to stop you again and again when we could all be doing better things with our time, but that does mean one thing: I do know how to fight. You want to do this? Then I’m not stopping you.”
• Featuring guest-artist supreme Bryan Hitch (Ultimates, JLA), Superman journeys into the maw of Stryker’s Island to speak with the one man who may be able to shed light on the multiple trans-chronal threats that have plagued him recently: Erik Drekken, whose own well-meaning experiments left his genetic code in perpetual flux up and down the evolutionary scale.
• But as the prison doors close and the red solar lamps meant to contain Bizarro activate, Superman finds his powers fading fast and in uncomfortably close-quarters with his new cellmates: Parasite, the Atomic Skull, the Kryptonite Men, Nimrod the Hunter, Riot, Livewire, and an out-of-control Drekken turned ravenous Tyrannosaurus!
• Even if Superman can handle a no-holds-barred cage match with over half a dozen of his most vengeful foes, will he be able to save Drekken from himself…not to mention the intentions of Lex Luthor, who in engineering the breakout hopes to seize Erik and his scientific brilliance for himself, believing he may be the key to unlocking the truth of Luthor’s own recent transformation into Lug Lutor!
• Note: This issue takes place prior to the events of Superman #13.
