Could Superman See The Dooming Of Lana Lang?

Published Fri, 04 Jul 2014 12:00:52 -0500

This week's promotional back pages in DC titles, Channel 52, brings us the Five Stages Of Doomed, with the several transformations Superman is going to suffer. Stage 4 is very interesting…

We are also told,

Sometimes there are no happy endings.

The solicitations for the annuals are not very clear either:

SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN ANNUAL #1
Only an Annual could contain this chapter of "SUPERMAN: DOOMED"! It's an all-out assault by the heroes of Earth (superpowered and not) on the God of War, Wonder Woman, who's leading the charge against all manner of alien attackers. The monstrous Superman smashes through everything friend or foe as his de-evolution reaches a critical stage. It all leads to their best hope: the Phantom Zone?!

ACTION COMICS ANNUAL #3
As an epic space battle rages above the Earth, how will humanity and the other heroes of the DC Universe cope with this Day of Doom?

What we already know, thanks to Superman #32 by Geoff Johns and John Romita, is how Doomed is going to finish for a lot of characters: Superman is cured while Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Lois Lane, Bruce Wayne and Wonder Woman are alive. But there are three characters who are present on Doomed, in space waiting for "an epic space battle" that we haven't yet seen in the Superman comic. The characters are Steel, Lana Lang and Cyborg Superman.

Both annuals are published this month. Cyborg Superman seems alive and well five years in the future in Supergirl: Futures End #1, on sale September 17th. And Steel is alive in Superman: Doomed #2, on sale August 27th.

So… Is Lana Lang doomed?
