Superman – Savage Dawn | Comics

man of steel
Superman – Savage Dawn | Comics
Long ago, one of Kal-El's early ancestors, Im-El destroyed an incoming comet to Krypton and it crashed on the prehistoric France; home of the Savage Clan. Vandal and his father went looking for the meteorite and upon finding it, he kills his father and sought leadership as the rock made him Immortal. Throughout centuries he traveled many distant lands in search for more power, killing anyone who got in his quest. In present, Superman is having a hard time without his powers. Lex Luthor leads the Justice League to a mission, leaving Clark alone in the Watchtower. He heads to an emergency on Earth and then sees the Watchtower appears and then explodes right in front of him, killing many. Then Vandal Savage finally appears in the Stormwatch Carrier.

Just as Justice League United arrives, Superman charges at Savage and his children, trying to halt them wearing an armor suit powered by Kryptonite. He freed the heroes captured by Savage but wrecks the suit and is dying from Kryptonite poisoning. Wonder Woman takes him to the Gods of Olympus to save him. The poison is drained but it also made him powerless as his cells now cannot absorb solar energy. So, he calls Steve Trevor for a favor to use the Kryptonite vault of A.R.G.U.S. to try and restore his power. He emerged with new powers and as Savage fires an energy blast to Jupiter; he rushes to North Pole to save the Fortress of Solitude. With Kryptonite radiation killing his cells from within, can Superman truly defeats Savage and his children?

The Immortal Combat
The previous Superman storylines have explored the idea of a new Strange Visitor; Ulysses, (The Men of TomorrowSuperman discovering new Solar Flare power and a mysterious enemy HORDR Root knowing his secret identity  was all a build-up to the bigger picture. In “Savage Dawn”, it is finally revealed that all the dots of the plots prior to this connect here and it doesn’t get better than this. Writer Greg Pak (Batman/Superman, World War Hulk), Gene Luen Yang (New Super-Man, Superman – Before Truth) and Peter Tomasi (Black Adam – The Dark Age, Superman/Wonder Woman) made it large with their envisioned plotting skills, while Aaron Kuder (The Amory Wars, Key of Z) also included himself among their league. Artist Ardian Syaf (Brightest Day, Flashpoint – Emperor Aquaman), Dan Jurgens (Death of Superman, Superman/Doomsday – Hunter/Prey) Doug Mahnke (Final Crisis, Justice League Elite) and Howard Porter (JLA, The Flash) did not only took care of the interiors but also provided cover arts. Ed Benes (Birds of Prey, WildC.A.T.S.) and John Romita, Jr. (Amazing Spider-Man, Kick-Ass) also made their presence known quite dominantly by delivering some of the jaw-dropping covers for the issues involved. Savage Dawn eventually leads to The Final Days of Superman; a prelude to DC Rebirth.
