Superman Up In The Sky

Award-winning author Tom King (Batman, Mister Miracle) answers the question- How far across the galaxy will the Man of Steel go to bring a single child home? Aliens have kidnapped a young Earth girl from Metropolis, taking her off-planet. Superman goes in pursuit of them, but with each stop along the path, the mystery of who the aliens are deepens, and the Man of Steel is faced with a new task. Is he getting closer to rescuing the girl, or further away? And who is protecting Metropolis in his absence? This galaxy-spanning question poses a moral dilemma for Superman- How much is one life worth compared to the millions back on his adopted planet? How far will he go, what foes will he face, to find the answer? Acclaimed writer Tom King (Batman, Mister Miracle, Heroes in Crisis) teams up with legendary artist Andy Kubert (Flashpoint, Batman- The Dark Knight III- Master Race) to spin an all-new, original tale that defines Superman for a new generation of readers!
