ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #12

(W) Peter Milligan (A) Agustin Padilla (CA) Ed Benes

@saren: Isn't that the point of these stories though? It's not to make Superman edgy, it's non-canon Elseworld stories like Marvel's "What if" series to look at different directions a Superman can take.

@saren: I wasn't happy about this story either. I take it as an elseworlds story because this was a pretty big lapse in judgement for the boy in blue.
