Comment(s):

About three months pass in between pages 25 and 26, where Superman is hospitalized in the sick bay at the Justice League Watchtower.
Superman's history from being sent away from Krypton to Jon's return after having been stuck on Earth 3 is retold in flashbacks in this story, as it happened in current chronology, incorporating elements from various eras. Character appearances that aren't including new information are listed as cameos.
The first pages of the issue were originally shown in DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1, so while that issue was printed first and technically marking the first appearances of Imani Edge, it is listed here as that was just a preview of this story.

Solicitation:

The summer of Superman heats up with a brand-new ongoing series taking the DCU by storm! When an asteroid the size of Metropolis hurtles toward collision with planet Earth, the Justice League dispatches Superman to avert the crisis--but a sinister threat lurks within that will change the world like never before, and this danger glows green. The Last Son of Krypton must risk everything to save his adopted home, the very home which now tries to kill him, from complete destruction! The Man of Steel is poised to fly like never before in this new cornerstone series, brought to life by the dazzling DC debut of writer Dan Slott (The Superior Spider-Man) and renowned artist Rafael Albuquerque (All-Star Batman)!
