Description
In the wake of Superman’s departure, the world still needs heroes—and in Action Comics #876 (June 2009), two new champions rise to fill the void. This powerful chapter from the “World Without Superman” arc spotlights Nightwing (Chris Kent) and Flamebird (Thara Ak-Var) as they step out of Kal-El’s shadow and into a war for Krypton’s legacy.
Written by Greg Rucka with intense visuals by Eddy Barrows and Ruy José, this issue is rich in emotion, explosive action, and the growing tension between Earth’s governments and Kryptonian survivors. With operatives of General Lane’s black-ops forces closing in and old enemies resurfacing, Nightwing and Flamebird must fight not only to survive—but to prove they deserve the “S.”
Featuring stunning cover art and gripping storytelling, Action Comics #876 is a modern DC milestone that expands Superman’s mythos while giving new heroes their moment to shine. A must-have for fans of Kryptonian lore, high-stakes drama, and post-Crisis DC continuity.
