Superman # 1 2018 Adam Hughes Variant NM-

Superman #1 (2018) marks the official, highly anticipated launch of the Brian Michael Bendis era at DC Comics. Released on July 11, 2018, this issue kicked off Volume 5 of the ongoing series, introducing a massive status quo shift for the Man of Steel.

The Core Plot

The issue picks up directly from the fallout of the Man of Steel 6-issue miniseries:

• A Scattered Family: Clark Kent is struggling emotionally. His wife, Lois Lane, and his son, Jonathan Kent, have traveled into deep space with Clark's biological father, Jor-El, leaving Clark entirely alone on Earth.
• A New Sanctuary: Following the destruction of his original base by the villain Rogol Zaar, Superman creates a brand-new, visually stunning Fortress of Solitude in the Bermuda Triangle. [
• The Cliffhanger: While processing his isolation and defending Earth from a sudden alien invasion, the issue ends with a massive, reality-bending twist—Earth has been mysteriously pulled into the Phantom Zone, setting up the opening story arc, "The Unity Saga: Phantom Earth".
