ACTION COMICS #1011
Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS Art and cover by STEVE EPTING varaint cover by FRANCIS MANAPUL Leviathan wins. After the destruction of anyone and everyone who could stand in its way, from Lois Lone's military father, Sam Lone, Co agencies such os Spyral and Checkmate – the newly reorganized and amped-up evil organization stands ready to topple oven the Man of Steel! With a shocking conclusion that'll affect the entire DC Universe over the summer, don't miss the epic and unexpected conclusion to 'Leviathan Rising.'
