The unthinkable has happened. The Man of Steel is dead. After
sacrificing his life to against an unstoppable global threat, the people
of Earth must now accept that the world they live in is a world without
Superman.
A maniacal beast has risen from the Earth, a creature called Doomsday!
Only one man can stop Doomsday's rampage -- Superman. But the only way
to stop him is by sacrificing his own life! When the Earth continues to
be threatened by beings of immeasurable power, will Metropolis' one true
hero will rise and return hope to those who need it most?
