Massacre was one of Superman's most promising new foes after his return. He encountered Superman in space a few months back, and now arrives on Earth for a rematch. An interesting thing to note is his search landed him in Metropolis Illinois, home of the Superman museum and annual Superman celebration. I also enjoyed the 2 covers for this story. First you have Massacre attacking Superman, then the next week Superman returns the blow straight to Massacre's face.
