The Epic Conclusion to the Warworld Saga
Kal-El Returns to Earth
Action Comics #1047 Kicks off Six-Part Crossover with Superman: Son of Kal-El
The moment that Superman fans have been waiting for is almost here. Witness the Warworld Saga’s epic conclusion featuring battles between Superman & Mongul and the Authority & Mongul’s Unmade Champions in the pages of “Superman: Warworld Apocalypse #1” one-shot from Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art by Brandon Peterson & Will Conrad. “Superman: Warworld Apocalypse #1” will be available digitally and at local comic shops on August 30, 2022.
Following the events of “Superman: Warworld Apocalypse #1,” Superman will return to Earth in a six-part crossover, Kal-El Returns, with Superman: Son of Kal-El from writer Tom Taylor. Kal-El Returns will lead up to the landmark 1050th issue of Action Comics and takes place in the pages of Action Comics #1047-1049 and Superman: Son of Kal-El #16-18.
“Superman: Warworld Apocalypse is everything we’ve been building to with the Warworld Saga, with the final battle between Superman and Mongul, between the Authority and the Unmade, and the long-awaited reveal of the real mastermind in the shadows,” said Johnson. “There are some frankly shocking moments in this issue, and some huge reveals that will have long-lasting repercussions in the DC Universe.”
It has all led to this: the final battle between Superman and Mongul, and between the Authority and Mongul’s Unmade Champions! The identity of the hooded stranger has been revealed, uncovering a shocking betrayal that threatens to crush Superman’s rebellion forever! But as the fate of Warworld relies on Superman, the last chance to return his powers now lies with Natasha and John Henry Irons. From the visionary creative team of Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Brandon Peterson, and Will Conrad, empires fall and rise and the fourth world is reborn in this jaw-dropping final chapter!
Why does Superman look like he’s HE-MAN?
In one of the variant covers he’s even holding a sword up in the air like he’s saying, “ By the Power of Greyskull. I Have The POWER!” I wouldn’t mind if he looked like Alex Ross’s version of Superman, but the way he looks now I just can’t help but see HE-MAN instead of Superman. I really hope that they change his look.
Oh, now I’m hoping for a cameo by Cringer.
Superman: “I am Clark Kent. Last son of Krypton. This is Krypto, my fearless dog. Awesome powers were given to me under a yellow sun and then I said “Where’s a telephone booth?” “This looks like a job for SUPERMAN!!!!”
“Krypto became the mighty Superdog, and I became Superman, The most powerful Man in the Multiverse!”
“POW!!!”
“Only three other people know my secret identity . My wife the reporter Lois Lane, our son Jon, and our friend John Henry Irons aka Steel”. Together we defend our world from the evil forces of Darkside.”
Darkside: “Ha ha ha ha!”
“SUPERMAN!!!“
I’m sick and tired of “depowered Superman”, and “evil Superman”, and “not in the forefront Superman”. This series can’t finish fast enough :/
To be fair, the weakened powers is from Superman & the Authority by Morrison. Johnson’s done an incredible job with this run so far, and he does have more or less his full powers up until the start of this arc. Solicits imply he’ll be more powerful than ever by the end of this.
