The follow-up to the epic "Death of Superman" story arc.The book starts with the immediate aftermath of Superman's battle with Doomsday. Superman is dead, but Lois doesn't want to accept it. Multiple attempts are made to resuscitate Superman, but to no avail. He is pronounced dead.We see how the Justice League is handling Superman's death along with the broken members in the hospital reflecting on how little help they were and feeling guilty they couldn't prevent Superman's death. We see many past League members show up to talk with the others about Superman and discussing where the League goes from here.We see Superman's funeral which turns into a mess that requires the likes of Batman, Robin, and Wonder Woman to break up. Meanwhile Johnathan and Martha Kent mourn in their own way on their farm, lamenting the fact that they can't even attend their own son's funeral because the world doesn't need to know Clark was Superman, even though he's gone.We see that Superman's body ends up being stolen by Cadmus, leading to Lois going to great lengths to track it down. With the help of Lex Luthor and Supergirl, Lois is able to get Superman's body back and return it to it's final resting place. Lex asks for a moment alone and reveals that he's angered by Superman's death because he feels cheated out of his ultimate victory.Johnathon Kent has a massive heart attack and while doctors fight to save his life he meets Clark in the after-life, and tries to convince him not to give up and that the world needs him.It ends with Johnathan waking up and declaring that Clark is back, followed by news reports of Superman sightings.
