Lex Luthor. Brainiac. Parasite.
Just some of Superman’s classic rogues gallery but then there’s Doomsday.
The alien monster that once killed the Man of Steel is back in this week’s Villains Month issue of Superman/Batman and it’s just the beginning of his new reign of terror!
“In The New 52, the legends surrounding this character have become stories told to terrify Kryptonians,” said Editor-In-Chief Bob Harras.
“Nobody knows who created him, where he comes from, or even dares to utter his name louder than in a whisper. But are the various myths about what the Doomsday creature is real? Was he really let loose on an army? And if nobody knows the truth behind this villain’s origin, is there really a way to stop him?”
The rocky horror defeated Kal-El in the classic Death and Return of Superman in the 1990’s.
This week Doomsday bursts into The New 52 in the Villains Month takeover of the DC Universe. See how Doomsday earned a feared reputation on Kal El’s homeworld long before the relentless beast battled Superman on Earth.
Batman/Superman #3.1 Doomsday by Greg Pak and new artist Brett Booth tells the horrific tale of the monster back on Krypton.
Doomsday will be the villain of the new Superman/Wonder Woman series by Charles Soule and Tony Daniel coming in October.
