Comment(s):

Story continued from the previous issue and continues in the next issue.
Mongul appears in a flashback stated to take place two weeks after the Source Wall breach, but at this point it was his father who was Mongul, so it is assumed that it took place some time after that.

Solicitation:

The Warworld Revolution is here! With the Genesis Stone feeding Kal-El a portion of his long-dormant powers, the quest to overthrow Mongul's tyrannical rule is well under way...but can Superman convince the war-torn combatants of this hellish nightmare planet that kindness can best cruelty? All this, plus Midnighter stabs some fools who had it coming! Then, in A World Without Clark Kent, Lois, Jon, and John Henry Irons (a.k.a. Steel) convene to unlock the secrets of the mysterious Genesis tech...and Thao-La awakens...
