About this ebook

SupermanÕs secret identity has been revealed and his powers are failing him, but not even that can stop the Man of Steel from protecting the innocent when a mysterious shadow monster appears in Metropolis. But the biggest threat Clark Kent faces when he returns home comes from the people he once called his friends and neighbors. While some still stand by him, others-including the Metropolis police department-are fearful and angryÉtoo angry. Is this just a reaction to SupermanÕs deception, or is there something more insidious infecting the people of Metropolis? Clark knows he needs to regain their trust, but in his weakened state, can he even survive long enough to try? Storytellers Greg Pak (BATMAN/SUPERMAN) and Aaron Kuder (GREEN LANTERN: NEW GUARDIANS) unleash an unstoppable force on an underpowered Superman, with help from artists Scott Kolins (JUSTICE LEAGUE 3001) and Georges Jeanty (BATMAN) and more! SUPERMAN-ACTION COMICS VOL. 8: TRUTH collects issues #41-47 and DC SNEAK PEEK: ACTION COMICS #1.

Ratings and reviews

Meh. Of all the Superman with no powers issues I have read or watched in my life, I kinda wish that they u would do a story of Clark being an investigative reporter. Have we a story fall on his desk, go for the story with interviewing public, print the story, and then maybe be involved as a trial witness as to the villain whom he was investigating. All events that he wouldn't need to use his powers, not some x files black goo dreck of a story this turned out to be. I say skip it.

This feels like I read a Venom Marvel comic. It still was a great story
