Superman – Multiplicity | Comics

When Supermen from across the Multiverse start vanishing without a trace, the Man of Steel of Prime Earth gets involved.

Seeing plant lives around Smith farm area dying as nearby ponds and streams are all being drained unnaturally, Superman flies to a nearby river and .quickly determines after some observation that this is no drought.

He came across a being from below ground known as Swamp Thing, who makes his presence known and states after seeing Superman at the first glance that the latter doesn't belong here, on this plane of reality. After their initial introduction, Clark calls him by the name of Dr. Alec Holland, who also points out an obvious that the former is not a Man of Steel from this world.

Because of his unique power of elemental control, Dr. Holland sensed an anomaly within him and found Clark in Hamilton County. Holland believes that a disturbance in "The Green" is what brought him here and as Superman assures he means no harm.

When he placed his hand on Swamp Thing, it released Kryptonian blue energy, overwhelming Holland. As a result of this misunderstanding, they get into a fight where Swamp Thing sees his memories of New Earth and Mister Oz visiting him earlier. Then he advises Clark not to consider himself as an outsider in this world and peacefully parts away.

The other night, when Clark was driving his home to Hamilton County, he stumbles onto a badly beaten Superman of Earth-30 (Red Son), who was being chased by the Gatherers. Even though Clark was not on their list, they fought back these "Gatherers" together, who came following the Soviet Superman here.

As he retreated from their clutches, he heard Kenan Kong is next on their list. At that moment, Justice League Incarnate arrives to the scene from future and Superman of Earth-23 meets Superman of New Earth.

The JLI briefly explains to him what's happening around here before they all go and try to help Kenan Kong in Henan Province but failed to save him. In the House of Heroes, Justice League Incarnate was explaining the entire situation to Superman, while the Gatherers were busy abducting other Supermen from different worlds for their master, Prophecy.

So, they go to every other worlds to talk to each Superman counterpart and assemble them all on Ultima Thule; a plane outside space and time. They collectively decide to lure their enemy out using their combined power and then face him together.

However, Superman teleports others away to save them at the final moment and faces the being alone in space-time continuum. Even though Prophecy detects Superman as an anomaly, he is immediately drained off his power and rendered weak.

Still, he assures the other powerless captive brethren that he has one trick left. The monstrous entity believes that a great catastrophe is on the horizon and if he can collect the power of all the Superman of the Multiverse, he might have a fighting chance against that.

Nightwing – Better Than Batman | Comics

Lately, Dick Grayson has seen a great deal. He was captured by Crime Syndicate, who revealed his identity to the world and Batman told him to go undercover. So, Dick joined a covert spy organization called Spyral as Agent 37 and using a satellite, he was eventually able to make the world forget who he really was except for his few friends. Leaving Huntress behind, he got back in Gotham City and get along with Damian Wayne.

At Batcave, Dick removed a hidden bomb from Damian's skull with a device he got from Midnighter, which was planted by the Parliament of Owls during "Robin War". Since they think they own Nightwing by blackmailing him using Damian, Dick decides to return to them and keep playing. Meanwhile, Lincoln March is declared rogue among his circles and is immediately replaced.

The Parliament wants Nightwing to take care of a business regarding an outlaw thief called Raptor, whom they hired and he has to fly to Russia to assist him for a mission to take out Kobra Cult. In their first meeting, Raptor gave Nightwing a beating to prove that he is the one in charge here.

Then they both head to a hijacked ship in Black Sea, which belongs to a parliament member and busted it from Kobra. Afterwards, they are sent over to Norway on their next assignment, when Raptor surprises Nightwing by asking if he wants to bring the Owls down because he is also playing a long game here. Without saying anything, Dick tags along but before they complete the task, they got company from Batgirl, which makes things less comfortable than it already was.

Meanwhile, the world was mourning the Tragedy of Superman and another Clark Kent from Pre-Flashpoint reality lives here with his wife Lois Lane and son Jon Kent in Hamilton County as The Smiths.

Wally then approaches to his love of life Linda Park for help but as she was unable to recognize him either, he is pulled again. He even seeks his arch-nemesis Captain Boomerang, friend Cyborg and Dick Grayson of the Titans for help but finally, it was Barry Allen who actually remembered who Wally was and then pulled him back. This brought back many memories and this two speedsters share a tearful reunion.

Atom reaches out his assistant Ryan Choi to inform that he is in a big trouble investigating a temporal anomaly.
