People gather in Smallville to celebrate their hero, little realizing that he is across the galaxy helping others. Superman has gone to Warworld, where he fights as a gladiator in the deadly pits of Mongul. But this is Superman we're talking about -- and his idea of a victory does not line up with the expectations of Mongul's hordes in "The Many Lives of Clark Kent" by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Mikel Janin. Meanwhile, on the other side of Warworld, other agents are at work, struggling for a better life. Shilo Norman, the man known as Mister Miracle, has ridden a Boom Tube across the cosmos from Metropolis to find himself at odds with an entire planet in "Time and Effect: Part 1" by Brandon Easton and Valentine De Landro. At the same time, Midnighter, the greatest fighter from Earth, is punching his way through a whole mess of trouble. He's on the hunt for a new energy source deadlier than Kryptonite. His goal: to shut it down before it gets unleashed on an unsuspecting universe in "Future State: Part 1" by Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad and Gleb Melnikov. On top of that, the Black Racer, a girl raised in the slums of Warworld to be one of its top competitors, turns betrayal into a crusade to fight for the freedom of others like her in "Future State: Black Racer Chapter 1: Do Not Go Gentle" by Jeremy Adams and Siya Oum. 64 pages, full color.
