<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In THE MAN OF STEEL #2 (\u00a0APR180146)\u00a0, featuring by Evan “Doc” Shaner, with an arsonist loose in Metropolis, Superman’s powers are almost useless in finding the culprit. And back at the Daily Planet, everyone wants to know what’s going on with Lois Lane. How can Clark hold on to the secret of what happened to Lois and Jon much longer? THE MAN OF STEEL #2 goes on sale on\u00a0June 6<\/span><\/span>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Then, in THE MAN OF STEEL #3 (\u00a0APR180147)\u00a0, with art by Ryan Sook, the merciless killer and zealot calling himself Rogol Zaar has searched the cosmos for Superman-and when he reaches the Fortress of Solitude, his actions will cut Superman to the core. THE MAN OF STEEL #3 hits stores on\u00a0June 13<\/span><\/span>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
And in THE MAN OF STEEL #4 (\u00a0APR180148)\u00a0, with art by Kevin Maguire, Rogol Zaar has committed a string of atrocities across the cosmos that have led him to the Fortress of Solitude-and now Superman and Supergirl plan to crush his schemes! But are even two Kryptonians enough to stop his sinister machinations? THE MAN OF STEEL #4 reaches comics shops on\u00a0June 20<\/span><\/span>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In THE MAN OF STEEL #5 (\u00a0APR180149)\u00a0, with art by Adam Hughes,\u00a0beaten by Rogol Zaar,\u00a0his city burning at the hands of an unknown arsonist and the secret of what happened to Lois and Jon drawing closer to revelation-even Superman feels powerless against all that stands before him. THE MAN OF STEEL #5 reaches comics shops on\u00a0June 27<\/span><\/span>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Then, THE MAN OF STEEL #6 (\u00a0APR180150)\u00a0, featuring art by Jason Fabok, the fate of Lois Lane and Jon Kent is revealed! Metropolis’ survival hangs in the balance! And Superman must somehow put an end to Rogol Zaar’s rampage! It’s do-or-die time for the Man of Steel in the final chapter of this explosive miniseries! THE MAN OF STEEL #6 is slated to reach comics shops on\u00a0July 4<\/span><\/span>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
