Adventures of Superman: Book of El #12

In the final chapter of the Book of El, Starchild and Red Son are reunited with the surviving heads of the House of El to save existence from a man driven beyond madness—to godhood—by grief. If Superman lives up to the legends, he’ll find a way to save the universe from Kryl-Ux and save Kryl-Ux from himself.

The heartrending, inspiring conclusion of Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s vision for Kal-El.
