Superman Vol 2 Num 001

"Heart of Stone!"

Superstar John Byrne, known for his acclaimed work on Marvel's Uncanny X-Men and the Fantastic Four, re-imagines the Last Son of Krypton for a whole new generation.

However, Superman's first issue in this historical relaunch just may be his last as he comes face-to-face with Metallo, the Man with the Kryptonite Heart!
