Superman dies in Justice League #75, along with most of the rest of the Justice League. Though as Dark Crisis teased and Tini Howard's Substack proved, not so much. "To power his weapons of war, Pariah has captured each member of the Justice League and trapped them on worlds suited to their every dream and desire…while the planets themselves slowly eat away at their respective inhabitants". How this affects the other titles has been up in the air. Only Aquaman and Flash seem to have reflected the new situation, and Green Lantern just went away.

But now Clark Kent is returning from Warworld with Superman: Warworld Apocalypse #1 and the run up to Action Comics #1050. Is he coming back to his expected death? Because DC Comics has been teasing that for an age as well, for the 30th anniversary of Superman #75.

"Superman: Warworld Apocalypse is everything we've been building to with the Warworld Saga, with the final battle between Superman and Mongul, between the Authority and the Unmade, and the long-awaited reveal of the real mastermind in the shadows," said Johnson. "There are some frankly shocking moments in this issue, and some huge reveals that will have long-lasting repercussions in the DC Universe."
