Superman Confidential # 4 - Kryptonite Part 4

The issue begins with Superman falling from the sky as Gallo communes with the Green Kryptonite. His secretary interrupts him with a call.

Superman, in the meanwhile, is viciously pummeled by Luthor goons when he lands. He is near death when Gallo finally closes the door and cuts off the giant rock from harming Superman from afar.

Luthor, observing this from afar but unconnected to the affair (obviously), is curious.

Jimmy grabs a beaten Superman after Superman fights his way back through the baddies to the surface. Superman is bruised, beaten, and near unconsciousness.

Lois seeks Gallo's Achilles' Heel, and finds Luthor in a back alley. He beckons her into his vehicle and shows her Superman's weakness, which he insists he aims to exploit.

Jimmy commandeers a vehicle and heads back to Kent's apartment on Superman's request, only to find Clark Kent waiting for them as Superman collapses inside.
