At the end of DC K.O., Superman became King Omega with the powers of a god. But after pushing Darkseid back to the Absolute World, Superman rejected the Heart of Apokolips…and went missing. Now the story of where he went can be told! The future was infected by Darkseid and his Legion—leaving a trail of death and disaster in their wake—including the Legion of Super-Heroes. Now Superman is using Time Trapper’s powers to heal the future and correct the damage that has been done. But Superman’s godlike powers are fading fast, and he may become lost at the end of time!

Jul 29, 2026The second story was penciled by Yasmine Putri, whose clean, detailed style proved perfect for the healed future and introduction of one of the biggest threats the Legion has ever faced: Brainiac One Million. His massive, looming form perfectly encapsulated the fear that a villain like him is meant to generate, with the constant shots of his upper body or close-ups on his face reminding everyone just how gargantuan he is. He was a being nearly always covered in shadows, while the numerous Legions were plainly in the light and celebrating their futures before his arrival. This contrast was beautiful to behold and endlessly effective. Read Full Review
