Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum [Prince, W. Maxwell]

Author: W. Maxwell Prince

A Spectrum of Kryptonite--And the Fractured Truth Within

Superman faces his own worst weakness in a story where Kryptonite reveals more than just physical pain.

From the acclaimed creative team behind Ice Cream Man, this DC Black Label event bends genre, tone, and form as Superman is exposed to not only green, red, and black Kryptonite--but new and never-before-seen forms like Purple, Cobalt, and Speckled. Each of the five issues serves as a boundary-pushing meditation on power, identity, and trauma. With Batman at his side and Earth at stake, Superman must confront how the shards of his broken homeworld reveal fault lines in his soul.

Includes Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1-5.
