Adventures of Superman: Book of El

Across centuries, the symbol of hope endures. Adventures of Superman: Book of El is a sweeping saga of gods and heroes, legacy and rebirth—where the Man of Steel faces the future he inspired, and the darkness that threatens to erase it. From Eisner-nominated writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson ( Action Comics, Future State: House of El) and artist Scott Godlewski, comes a monumental Superman saga that bridges eras and defines the legacy of the Man of Tomorrow. When peace finally returns to Earth, an old ally becomes its greatest threat—armed with the divine force of Olgrun, the mad god of the First World. Cast into a far-flung future, Superman discovers a shattered Earth ruled by tyrants and haunted by his family’s fractured lineage. To save his descendants and the universe itself, Superman must rebuild the House of El and face the reborn terror of Brainiac, whose post-human armies threaten to erase all that remains of Krypton’s hope. A cosmic odyssey through the heart of the Superman myth, Book of El redefines what it means to be a hero—and what it costs to keep hope alive. Collects Adventures of Superman: Book of El #1–12; the conclusion of Johnson's epic that started in the pages of Future State and Action Comics.
