Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #5
What's truly at the end of the rainbow? We can't be certain, but we're pretty sure it ain't a pot of gold!
Up to now it's been a peculiar, polychromatic pilgrimage for Superman: he's lost track of time under the influence of Purple Kryptonite, grown to skyscraper size via Cobalt K, revisited his adolescence by way of Speckled K, and traveled to the fifth dimension using a “key” carved of Rainbow Rock.
Now, in this final issue, the chickens have come home to roost — and so, too, has Kal-El. Back in Metropolis, the Man of Tomorrow must stand face-to-face with the Man of Today... and decide for himself, finally, whether Lex is right: Does home hurt too much?
Batman / Superman: Worlds Finest #46
In order to defeat the Joker/Luthor team, Batman and Superman may have to ask for a little help from their friends — if they still have any after the shocking events of last issue! Don't miss part two of “The Merger.”
Guest starring Green Lantern Guy Gardner! Thanks to Toyman's Kryptonite generators, Earth is finally ready to mass-produce commercial faster-than-light rockets... for the planet's richest one percent. And who wouldn't want Earth's multibillionaires traveling among the stars? Everyone. Every single being in the entire cosmos.
It's up to Superman and special guest star Guy Gardner to save the launch of Simon Stagg's new space yacht from one of the deadliest cosmic beings in the galaxy!

Superman's archnemesis, Lex Luthor, has been off the board following the wiping of his memory during House of Brainiac.

Now Superman and Superwoman must go toe-to-toe with their foe, while also desperately trying to keep Metropolis from crumbling under the weight of attacks from villains like Doomsday and Time Trapper!

Christopher Chance makes a living putting his life in the crosshairs to protect his clients. But this time, his luck may have finally run out. In his latest assignment posing as Lex Luthor, someone has successfully poisoned "Luthor," and there is no antidote.
With only 12 days to live, Chance decides he will not go quietly into the night. He's going to find out who wants Luthor dead so badly by following every lead and questioning every suspect, whether they're an arrogant space cop or an elemental femme fatale.
Told in the style of a noir whodunit, The Human Target showcases why writer Tom King and artist Greg Smallwood are two of comics' most in-demand talents. This deluxe edition features a new cover by Smallwood, an introduction by King, and a "making of" section that reveals how this comics masterpiece was brought to life.
Collects THE HUMAN TARGET #1-12 and TALES OF THE HUMAN TARGET #1.
