The disturbed mavin has violate the realm and begun decimating planet Earth … the Super - Family and the Justice League are holding on as best they can , but this sounds like a job for Superman !

There are four new effect ofAction Comicsout this November , but the one that has me the most concerned isAction Comics # 1077 , which features a cover by Henry . Clark ’s family and allies have gathered around a sorrow Lois Lane whileSuperman is trapped in the Phantom Zone , much like how he was inSmallville’sseason 5 finis " Vessel " .
The icon who launched the entire world of superheroes, the last son of Krypton escaped his dying world to crash land on Earth and be raised as Clark Kent. The world knows him better as Superman, the Man of Steel, the leader of the Justice League, and the most well-known hero in the DC Comics Universe. Blessed with the powers of a demigod, Kal-El of Krypton fights enemies both small and cosmic in his endless pursuit of truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.
Superman is Trapped in the Phantom Zone on Tragic New Cover Art
For those not familiar , " Vessel " was the 110th episode ofSmallvilleand featured Clark trying to figure out a way to halt Brainiac ’s virus from infect the world . Clark was advised to intercept the computer virus by killing Zod , or rather , whomever he was using as a vessel . However , Lex was prefer as the vessel and Clark could n’t bring himself to kill Lex . Luthor was possessed by Zod , who kick in Clark a chance to connect his movement . But Clark reject andZod trap Clark inside the Phantom Zone , ending the season on a dreadful cliffhanger .
Of course , the storyline set forAction Comicslater this yr is going to go in its own direction and largely deal with Superman reconciling his begetter ’s work with the Phantom Zone . But the covering forAction Comics # 1077really does score home a tragedy on par with the season 5 finale ofSmallville . Superman , for all the powers he has , is incapacitated to break out of the Phantom Zone . Honestly , I think this example is a little bad . InSmallville , Clark was suspended in space , but here , Superman is coerce to watch his family aggrieve while he remains helpless .
How Will Superman Get Out of the Phantom Zone?
InSmallville , Clark was capable to get out of the prison realm thanks to a trapped Kryptonian ’s aid . But there ’s no guarantee Superman will be so golden here . And by the sounds of the solicitations for future Action Comics issues , the Phantom Zone is on its last legs and he could be in serious danger if he stays in there for too long . IfSupermandoesn’t find a way out of the Phantom Zone , it ’s going to make the season 5 finale ofSmallvillelook downright well-chosen by comparison .
