Superman – Black Dawn | Comics

A sinister entity has been keeping an eye on Superman and his family in Hamilton County. Then the Dynamic Duo came to see young Superboy.

The Kent family has been living in Hamilton County for some time as Superman slowly adjusts to this new world. With his wife Lois Lane and boy Jon Kent, Clark is living the simple life he used to lead on Smallville. Jon is getting along fine with Kathy Branden, granddaughter of their neighbor Cobb.

At night, Batman and Robin pay a secret visit to Kent Farm to talk to Clark about something important about his son as Superboy secretly watches but all are caught and brought inside the house for some apple pie by Lois.

When Clark asked, Bruce revealed that as a full healthy human-Kryptonian hybrid Jon have the capacity to surpass the great power of his father and by now, he should have had been at full power, whereas Jon can barely fly. So, he suspects something is holding the boy back and asks if they notice anything suspicions around.

When everyone went to sleep, he decides to Cobb's Dairy and sneaks into their farm to collect some fresh milk sample from the cow Bessie but suddenly, he is attacked by black liquid that captures him.

The next morning, Cobb and Kathy arrives to deliver Bessie's fresh milk for Jon and Damian Wayne is introduced to them as Garth. As he departs, Cobb pats on Krypto's head and it appears that he has some psychic influence on the dog.

Later, Batman is nowhere to be found which even surprises Damian. Robin, Superboy and Superman go on a patrol over Hamilton County to locate Bruce but are interrupted by a giant squid creature they fought before in the arctic (Son of Superman).

With much less effort, the trio handled the situation but it was Jon's brash actions that saved lives in the end. Superman heads to Deadman's Swamp after sending the boys home. Damian and Jon were bickering while they were returning and as it started to become a fight, Kathy intervenes by chocking him up in the air with her telekinesis.

She even managed to redirect Jon's heat-vision. Meanwhile, Superman discovers Batman, Frankenstein, Robin, The Bride and many others stuck in some containment underground. Back home, Lois was getting worried upon having no words from her husband or son and go out investigate.

She is confronted by fellow townspeople Candice, Doc Brooks, Mayor Goodman, Mr. Martinez and Officer Haggart at her house and makes a break for it in the Batmobile using the Hellbat Gauntlet. She was eventually stopped by Cobb Branden and Superman quickly rushed to the spot hearing her cry. Cobb is soon taken care of and Clark flies off with Lois.

She points out that lately, Hamilton County has become a target for various monstrosities and as he tries to help the people, Lois is severely injured in this chaos. Elsewhere, Jon is being forced to watch his friends and family in peril and sheds tears for them but then his mysterious captor came out of shadows and revealed himself as Manchester Black, one of Superman's old enemies.

Superman – Black Dawn

"Black Dawn" marks the fourth Superman storyline of DC Rebirth era following "Multiplicity" and "Trials of the Super Son" from DC Comics. The story takes place on the fourth ongoing volume of Superman in 2017, collecting issues #20-26.

Plotted out by the duo of writers Patrick Gleason (Brightest Day, Sinestro Corps War) and Peter Tomasi (Batman – Arkham Knight, Black Adam – The Dark Age), artist Doug Mahnke (Final Crisis, Justice League Elite) was brought on board to do the illustrations for the arc alongside Gleason, who also wrote several issues for the plot.

Introducing Superboy Black

Even though it was a plot set on solo Superman comic series, the primary focus revolves around Clark's son Jon Kent, the new Superboy. There is even a scene where Clark lectures Jon about the consequences of choices he made much like the way actor Kevin Costner's character Jonathan Kent does to a young Clark Kent in 2013's Man of Steel film.

In pre-Flashpoint reality, Manchester Black used to hang out with his super-team The Elite but this Prime Earth version is aided by the group of Super-Elite. The story will be going onward followed by "Hopes and Fears" storyline as the series advances.

Action Comics – The New World | Comics

Superman Revenge Squad is formed and deadliest enemies from past comes to take down the Man of Steel with General Zod on the team.

With his wife Lois Lane and son Jon Kent, Superman successfully foiled Mister Mxyzptlk's plan but as a result, it altered history and timelines of reality to some extent. While working at his desk at the Daily Planet, Clark realizes that something is missing from their lives and he heads to his Fortress of Solitude to seek answers.

There, he asks Kelex to show him archive footage to find out what's missing from the life of him and his family. He is then given an extended narration of what his life was all about growing up in a world that adopted him and nurtured him into a guardian of truth. Kelex shows Clark when he first came to Metropolis for his job as a reporter and ended up saving Lois on his first day at Daily Planet.

He recalls how he came to encounter foes like Bizarro, Brainiac, Blanque, Conduit, Darkseid, Doomsday, General Zod, Imperiex, Lex Luthor, Manchester Black, Metallo, Mister Mxyzptlk, Mongul, Parasite, Silver Banshee and Toyman over time. There was the time when world witnessed "The Death of Superman" and then he eventually returned.

There were times he fought side by side with his friends in Justice League and it all started to come back to him piece by piece. Later, with help from his friend Batman and Wonder Woman, Clark and Lois welcomed their little boy Jon Kent in a new world during a critical period (Convergence).

Action Comics – The New World | Comics

Elsewhere, a shadowy voice approaches Metallo in his disassembled state in a holographic form and offers him revenge in return for his assistance. Then the hologram comes to the villain with psychic abilities and a knack for making art by murdering people known as Blanque with the same proposition.

Disabled and buried on the surface of moon, The Eradicator too is rescued and restored (Son of Superman) before he teleports Blanque and Metallo to one of Batman's secret base to form their very own Superman Revenge Squad.

Their host reveals himself to be former Team 7 member Hank Henshaw and he sends The Eradicator to free Mongul from the Black Mercy flower Superman trapped him into (Better Together). Assisted by Blanque, they head to Superman's Himalayan Refuge to retrieve a part of the Oblivion Stone for Henshaw.

As Mongul defies his leadership and attempts to attack him, Henshaw finally transforms into Cyborg Superman using the stone and forces him into submission before revealing his intent to free Kryptonian despot General Zod from his captivity to recruit him for their team.

With Superman in pursuit, Cyborg Superman and Eradicator go to Belle Reve for rescuing General Zod through "The Black Vault" (Earthlings on Fire). Cyborg leads the Superman Revenge Squad at the doorstep of Superman's Fortress but he is still blinded by the effects of The Black Vault as his enemies assembled for an ambush on him.

Knowing that he cannot win against them all and will probably going to die, the Man of Steel took a last stand against his enemies to buy Lois and Jon a chance to escape. He fought against some his most deadly enemies without his sight, which is equivalent of fighting with one arm tied but help came in at the nick of time to turn the tables.

Action Comics – The New World

"The New World" is one of the first storyines at the aftermath of the change created by Mister Mxyzptlk. Taking place on the monthly ongoing volume of Action Comics, the story collects issues #977-984 from the series by writer Dan Jurgens (Metamorpho – Year One, Superman/Doomsday – Hunter/Prey).

Artists Ian Churchill (Deadpool – Sins of The Past, Hulk – Hulk Vs. X-Force), Patrick Zircher (Green Arrow – New 52, Suicide Squad – New 52) and Viktor Bogdanovic (New Super-Man – Coming to America, New Super-Man – Made in China) provided illustration assistance using their finest talent to work.

Fortress of Chaos

Following the events of "Superman Reborn", not only the status-quo of Superman titles have changed but entire DC Universe is changed as well. This arc took a glance at Pre-Flashpoint events of Birthright, Secret Origin and The Men of Tomorrow from The New 52 era. This subtly suggests that all of those events have taken place in his life or a merging of these timelines.

Not only the plot assembles a large array of Superman enemies but the cavalry of Lex Luthor, Steel, Supergirl, Kong Kenan/Super-Man and Superwoman were also featured too. Plus, a Watchmen crossover with the world of post-DC Rebirth, Doomsday Clock is just waiting on the horizon.

Super Sons – When I Grow Up | Comics

Despite having very little in common among them, Robin and Superboy tries to stop Kid Amazo to take on entire Justice League!

On his way to school with his next-door neighbor Kathy Branden, Jon Kent took side of a bullied boy that led him into a quarrel with few bullies, who arranged a snowball fight to hurt his friends. As Jon was about to lose his cool, the timely intervention of Damian Wayne saved the day, who was disguised as their bus driver and a substitute teacher.

That night, when Batman was going out on patrol, he ditched an enthusiastic Damian behind for falling back on his homework. On Hamilton County, Superman flies off for a Justice League related emergency and Lois sends Jon to his bed afterwards.

Just as he hit the sack, Damian sneaks back on him to take Jon along with him to investigate a case of break-ins at LexCorp, Metropolis which freaked out the latter for a moment. Both Robin and Superboy were making their way onto the top of the tower when they find Lex Luthor floating behind them in his new "Superman" armor.

Since, Jon can't really fly, Robin throws Superboy down for Lex to rescue while he makes it to an unmarked level to look into but found Luthor back on his tail soon enough. These two make an escape but Robin manages to copy the security log before that.

Super Sons – When I Grow Up | Comics

Jon took a look at the log and is able to detect a boy walking inside for the android Amazo and then camera goes dead. The boy is then seen in multiple places at the same time and Robin identifies him as Reggie Meyer using Batman's facial recognition database.

There was an outbreak of the Amazo Virus which grant people power but all of them were cured then (Justice League – Injustice League). Reggie and his family were among the five percent who kept theirs and they formed the team "Super Duffies" to fight villains.

Tracking the last known location of Reggie's family, the Super Sons head to Providence, Rhode Island. Robin was going through some old newspaper articles when Superboy discovered the deceased bodies of Reggie's family and decides to call their dads.

Disagreement on the point led Jon to push Damian away and run into Reggie's younger sister Sara in the woods. Damian thought Jon has come back but it was the Man of Steel standing behind him and The Dark Knight ready to creep on Jon in the jungle.

The hostile attitude of the World's Finest against the Super Sons has proved that they were actually some android doppelgangers sent by Reggie AKA Kid Amazo. Sara being a technopath helps them take down many those robots and explains Reggie's plan of stealing the Amazo Armor from LexCorp next.

Using which he is creating "Amazo" duplicates that can replicate any power they came in contact with. As Robin is still reluctant about calling their dads or the Justice League, he and Jon are quickly surrounded by dozens of duplicates of themselves.

Super Sons – When I Grow Up

After having a few unofficial team-ups to fight crime under the cautious supervision of their over-protective fathers, Robin and Superboy finally have their very own monthly ongoing series titled Super Sons from DC Comics in 2017, which probably is one of the best gift we received from the DC Rebirth run so far.

The first storyline of their official team-up "When I Grow Up" collects issues #01-05 from the series. It is plotted by writer Peter Tomasi (Batman – Arkham Knight, Forever Evil – Arkham War) and he was assisted by artist Jorge Jiménez (Superman – The Final Days of Superman, Superman – Trials of the Super Sons) with his impressive drawing skills.

Super Sons Strike Out

The story focuses on a solo mission Damian Wayne begin on his own when his father left him behind from regular patrol duty but quickly realizing he needs someone to aid him on it and he then approached Jonathan Kent to pick him up as some extra-muscle from Hamilton County while both of their fathers was away.

Aside from Batman and Superman, Alfred Pennyworth and Lois Smith appearing in the story for their very important role of keeping the Super Sons in line. Following the core plot, there is a brawl in the Batcave between these two unsettling youngsters akin to the one seen in "Trials of the Super Sons", to set out their differences.

Three years have passed since anyone seen The Dark Knight of Gotham City and other heroes have retreated while a Master Race rises.

The Dark Knight has been gone after the fall of Lex Luthor's tyrannical reign and demise of a Joker-like Dick Grayson, who was hell-bent on killing off elderly heroes. Batman has been gone off the grids for three years now and Bruce Wayne is also nowhere to be found. Because of his long absence, many believe that he is dead and not coming back this time.

Someone enters the Batcave to shatter down a display case where the Batsuit was hanging and took it. Suddenly, images of a shrouded figure beating up trigger-happy cops chasing an unarmed suspect blows up on media, who appears to be Batman.

In a forest, Wonder Woman is fighting a giant Minotaur while holding her young son Jonathan on her back to save the natives from it. Upon defeating the creature, Diana heads back to Paradise Island for a sparring session with her daughter Lara, only to learn that she is gone.

Always questioned about her inheritance, she finds Superman inside the Fortress of Solitude, who has willingly frozen himself on an icy throne. Hearing noise, Lara discovers the Bottle City of Kandor, which she then takes to Ray Palmer AKA The Atom and asks for his help to restore the shrunken city of Kandor.

Following the ground-breaking success of "The Dark Knight Returns" and "The Dark Knight Strikes Again", writer Frank Miller (300, Ronin) returned with third installment of The Dark Knight Trilogy from DC Comics in 2017 after it started in 2015. Brian Azzarello (Wonder Woman – Blood, Wonder Woman – Guts) also helped Miller devise a more balanced plot this time than his past efforts of writing senseless superhero violence.

Artist Andy Kubert (Before Watchmen – Nite Owl, Damian – Son of Batman) draws core story from all issues while Klaus Janson returned to work on tie-in shorts, also set on the same alternate reality of Earth-31 from DC Multiverse.

The Master Race Rises

Whereas "The Dark Knight Returns" kind of expected all readers to assume the worst have happened to our vigilante hero before they even began and "The Dark Knight Strikes Again" just started throwing things at us without any explanation, DKIII actually tries to dive slightly deeper than before while leaving possibilities for a sequel.

Aside from regular primary character of this series, Aquaman, The Flash, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Hawkman and Hawkgirl appeared throughout the story. Hopefully, we will see young Jonathan grow up to be Superboy as his elder sister becomes a Supergirl in this brave-new world.

They suddenly saw fire in their house and then everything around them starts getting erased, including their son Jon. Superman and Lois heads straight to Metropolis seeking for answers and Clark's doppelganger was not present there at his own apartment.

Out of the blue, he showed up there and managed to stop an enraged Superman from attacking him. According to him, he was locked up in that cell because Man of Steel never cared for him and then he even solved Clark's secret identity problem.

When Kal-El fails to deduce who this mysterious fellow really is, he starts dropping hints by frequently changing into Bizarro, Brainiac, Cyborg Superman, Doomsday, Lex Luthor, Mongul and Parasite one by one, asking to say his name.
