    The Syndicate exclusive cover by Nathan Szerdy. Written by Dan Watters. Art by Eddy Barrows. DOOMSDAY RULES...IN HELL! It is a creature beyond reason--and the only force in the universe strong enough to kill Superman. It's Doomsday, the living embodiment of death, destruction, and evolution!

It's now up to Supergirl and Martian Manhunter to drive the beast back and see that he never again returns to our earthly plane--even if they must die to do it! Plus: the return of Bloodwynd, the debut of the Doomhounds, and a clue to the next big Superman event! 48 pages, full color. Rated T+ Cover price $6.99.
