Superman by Phillip Kennedy Johnson Omnibus Vol. 1

Superstar writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson takes Superman to an enslaved world with mysterious ties to Krypton! With a goal of liberating the brutal and appropriately named Warworld, Superman will face foes both new and familiar.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson takes the Man of Steel to new brutal and unforgiving worlds governed by ancient enemies in his iconic run-on Superman. The Man of Tomorrow teams up with the Authority to leave earth with their sights set on an enslaved planet tucked deep in the cosmos. Their goal: liberation. Not everything goes as planned when Superman is captured and taken deep into the lower catacombs of Warworld and is trained to be a gladiator in battles to the death. Can Superman forge an uneasy alliance with the other prospective gladiators and overthrow Mogul’s bloodthirsty capital. Phillip Kennedy Johnson builds on the foundation of Superman while ushering in a perspective in this massive omnibus.
