30 years ago, the unthinkable happened. The Man of Steel died. After sacrificing himself to stop the unstoppable global threat, Doomsday, Metropolis and the rest of the DC Universe mourned the loss of their greatest hero.

Led by Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding, the special kicks off with a new Superman story and villain…DOOMBREAKER! Followed by a series of short stories revisiting some of Superman’s greatest allies and exclusive pinups done by some of comics’ greatest artistic talent including LEE WEEKS, GABRIEL RODRIGUEZ, BILL SIENKIEWICZ, and WALTER SIMONSON.

Per quanto grande fosse il pericolo che avevano di fronte, finora gli Avengers sono sempre riusciti ad avere la meglio, anche a costo di enormi sacrifici. Ora però si trovano di fronte a una minaccia sulla quale non si può avere la meglio: il futuro! Chiamati a proteggere un loro vecchio alleato, sette membri del team provenienti da epoche diverse dovranno unire le forze con uno dei loro nemici più acerrimi se vorranno salvare il destino dell’umanità. Forse la più epica e spettacolare tra le saghe degli Eroi più potenti della Terra: una storia di battaglie e di viaggi nel tempo scritta da Kurt Busiek (Marvels) e Roger Stern (The Amazing Spider-Man) per le illustrazioni di Carlos Pacheco (The Life Of Captain Marvel).
